RDS 2019 Getting Prompted for Credentials Twice
dretzer Ok, so based on your response, is there no way to avoid the double logon for remote users for whom I may have no control over the system (or a device such as an iPad or Android tablet)?
We won't have a lot of internal use, and are trying to get people away from using IE.
We require two factor authentication (using DUO, which I've set up), so don't think the .rdp file would be a solution.
If there is no way to avoid it, thats fine, I just have to be prepared to explain that to our end users. This would be a change for them since they don't currently have to do this with Citrix.
Thanks
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.
dretzer Thanks, I'll give that a try and let you know how it goes.
