We have an interesting setup here.
At home we connect to a Windows 2003 server via a VPN and a remote
desktop application. We signon using regular authentication and then
authenticate using an RSA SecureId card. From the remote desktop I can
start up IE and connect to the HMC, which is only visible to the
intranet. The HMC application is another kind of remote desktop. In
turn, connecting to the SE from the HMC is a further remote desktop.
It's kind of interesting to move the mouse around going thru 3 remote
desktops!!
...and the bandwidth consumed is huuuuge. Unless HMC and SE are Linux
based, however it does not reduce Windows remoted desktop overhead.
Regarding home access - it can be secure enough. It can't be protected
against gun put by some ugly guy to your head. However THIS is not good
argument against home access. Even if you are allowed to access HMC only
from very secure bunker, your family is still at home.
Yes, it sounds like Hollywood S-F movie. Very unlikely to happen. How
likely is that hackers will want to break your well-protected home
access solution ?
