After you complete this checklist, users can access the RD Web Access Web site from an intranet. To make the RD Web Access Web site available from the Internet, see Checklist: Make RemoteApp Programs Available from the Internet.

Important

The RD Web Access Web site is automatically configured to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with a self-signed certificate. By default, the self-signed certificate is not a trusted certificate, and self-signed certificates are recommended only for testing and evaluation purposes. For more information about configuring the RD Web Access Web site to use a trusted certificate, such as a certificate issued by a trusted public certification authority (CA), see Remote Desktop Web Access Security.
