RDS 2019 Getting Prompted for Credentials Twice
You could try deploying RD-Webclient which should be included in Server 2019 RDSH-Deployments. This will allow you to have the RD-Session directly inside the browser (HTML5-capable browser only). It should work with all modern browsers, on PC, Mac, Tablets and Phones. Also this does not need a double-authentication so it would solve your particular problem as well.
Personally I hand't the time to test RD-Webclient with Server 2019 yet, but you should definitely take a look at it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-web-client-admin
dretzer Replying kind of late but installed the web client per the instructions, but must have done something wrong, I see no resources presented after I log in (currently only publishing a desktop).
- Very late in replying but I’ve had the same issue as you. I am also using DUO for authentication. Managed to get webclient working but had to disable DUO. Is there another way of getting this working?
Faye Jasman did you ever get this working ?
gillyx0101 Nope, sure haven't. Its probably the biggest factor holding us back from using RDS more widely.
- Its a shame theres no easy fix for this. I don't think this would be acceptable for our user base also. In our test environment I ended up deploying the web client (HTML 5) version, which has a nicer look and feel and doesn't have the issue of logging in twice. Maybe this might be an option for your environment? Having said this I did run into issues when publishing through a web application proxy as it does not support web sockets (as long as you have a supporting firewall/load balancer this shouldn't be an issue). The other point to note is not all MFA providers support HTML 5 web version.
