New Feature: RDP over SSL with Windows Server 2003 SP1
Thursday, 24 February 2005 by Michel Roth
Somewhat old news but still great news! Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 RC2 will add critical security functionality to Terminal Services, namely, the ability for an RDP client to connect and authenticate to a Terminal Server completely via SSL over port 443.

RDP over SSL is not a firewall traversal technology. It doesn't mean you're using Web protocols to do RDP. To rephrase, it's not "RDP over HTTP", it's "RDP with TLS authentication and encryption over TCP" - it still happens over TCP port 3389, as RDP usually does.
