possible to use TLS to encrypt desktop connections? 1

[bithead9]

RHEL 6 with GNOME. Can the cnnection be automatically encrypted using TLS or other method ? This is niternal traffic and would be used to prevent sniffers for passwords and the like. The client desktops could be Windows Mac or linux.

Use IPSec.

Can the cnnection be automatically encrypted using TLS or other method ... The client desktops

I am not following exactly what you want to do, but it sounds like you're asking about securing remote desktop connections. If so, I would recommend FreeNX, which uses SSH under the hood because of it's reliable security.

I am trying to accomplish:
1) Secure the connect from say Windows/Mac clients to RHEL Server running XDMCP (or equal multi-user desktop software)
2) be able to handle like 20-30 user per Server, so a scalable remote desktop securre solution
Prefereably off the shelf software or Open Source that does the same.
I saw the Wiki and there are so many products. Does anyone here do this already and have a simple and reliable solution ?
