Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) is a role service available in Windows Server 2008 and higher versions. It allows authenticated and authorized remote users to securely connect to resources on an internal corporate or private network over the Internet. This article discusses RD Gateway deployment in a perimeter network.
RD Gateway encapsulates Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) within RPC, within HTTP over a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. RD Gateway server is exposed to the Internet (an untrusted network) and because of the reasons discussed in the Perimeter network section, either RD Gateway server is deployed in the perimeter network or RD Gateway server is deployed in the internal network with an ISA server in the perimeter network.
These are the topics covered:
1. Perimeter network:
2. Perimeter network designs:
3. AD DS models in perimeter network
4. Firewall rule configurations required when RD Gateway is in the perimeter network:
5. RD Web Access and RD Gateway on the same server:
