IMHO.... If you have an attacker with the ability to man in the middle on your 
internal network you got bigger problems that WSUS.

Am I saying WSUS should "never" use SSL? Not at all. What I am saying though is 
if you aren't using SSL for all of your other IIS server (ConfigMgr included) 
then why bother with WSUS.

Subject: [mssms] WSUS SSL Man in the middle attack

I'm terrible when it comes to SSL, just never been able to get my brain wrapped 
around it.

When reading this article about how WSUS if it isn't secured with SSL can be 
hijacked by a man in the middle attack, they state that the WSUS server 
contacting MS needs to have SSL enabled.  What if you have a CAS that contacts 
MS, does the primary that also has WSUS need SSL enabled, or since it wont 
contact MS, enabling SSL isn't needed?

What about if you're using SCUP and you need to download the .cab from Adobe, 
will enabling SSL on the CAS WSUS cause any issues?

How have others remediated this?
