RPC over HTTP (Remote Procedure Call over HTTP) is a protocol that allows a client on the
Internet to connect securely to a Microsoft Exchange Server without having to log into a virtual
private network (VPN)
first.
RPC over HTTP uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) as a
transport protocol and mandates that the server authenticates itself to the client using a digital certificate
and associated private
key. The protocol takes advantage of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connectivity built into
the Outlook Web Access (OWA), foregoing requirements for an administrator to open additional
ports on
the corporate firewall.
