Hello,
We are running a SQL Server 2005 cluster on Windows Server 2003. Our customers have access to our SQL cluster through VPN tunnels. I wonder now if there is not another way to provide them access to the cluster without going through the hassle of establishing a VPN tunnel. Simply opening the fireall on port 1433 is not an option because the data transfers have to be encrypted since financial information are being transmitted throught the internet.
I was thinking about using a HTTPS Endpoint but the problem with an enpoint is that we would be only able to give our customers access to certain stored procedures or functions but we need to ensure that the customers can run any SQL query they want against their databases.
If SQL Server 2005 does not come with such a technology is there maybe a thrid party product.
Does anybody has any idea regarding this?
Thank you

I can't think of there being a better way than a VPN tunnel. Anything else would likely be just as much a hassle. Third party products would be a variation on the tunnel. Plus VPN is known secure.
