Encryption must be used for RPC client access.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-33559 Exch-1-002 SV-43979r1_rule ECSC-1 Medium
Description
This setting controls whether client machines are forced to use secure channels to communicate with the server. If this feature is enabled, clients will only be able to communicate with the server over secure communication channels. Failure to require secure connections to the client access server increases the potential for unintended eavesdropping or data loss.
