Back in December the Remote Desktop Services team, no wait the Terminal Services team, no... the Remote Termin...
Ah Frak, I hate it when products change their names...
Anyhow, the "TEAM" posted a really good three part series that dives into how the RD Gateway uses certificates:
Being a PKI geek, I'm thrilled that yet another product group has attempted to provide a no-nonsense detailed dump about how the RD Gateway (needs) uses certificates, how you can deploy them, and how to trouble issues.
Unfortunately, many people seem to be daunted with the concept of certificates. So, in my opinion, the more information that product groups can provide the better. But, then again, it is also my opinion that everyone that works in IT (Microsoft related or not) should have a basic working understanding of certificates, PKI, etc. Heck... I would even go as far as a working knowledge of basic identity management principles and information assurance practices.
But... then I might be out of job. :>)
So... now that I've rambled, the point of this posting was to point out those blog entries from the "TEAM". Regardless are working with the RD Gateway, it's a good read for those that are still not sure what this certificate thing is about. In other words please read... like PowerShell, certificates are something that you will just need to understand.
