LAB: Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop–SSO between RDWA & RDSH
The quest for Remote Desktop Services Web Access Single Signon
Introducing Web Single Sign-On for RemoteApp and DesktopConnections (Terminal MSDN)
Enable RDC Client Single Sign-On for Remote Desktop Services (only for RDC)
Single sign-on between RD Session Host and RD Web Access
Single sign-on allows customers the ability to enter their user name and password only once when connecting to a RemoteApp program by using RD Web Access.
Why is this change important?
Prior to Windows Server 2008 R2, when a user connected to a RemoteApp program by using RD Web Access, the user was prompted for credentials twice. One set of credentials was used to authenticate the user to the RD Web Access server and the other set was used to authenticate the user to the RD Session Host server hosting the RemoteApp program. Asking for the same user credentials twice led to a bad user experience. In Windows Server 2008 R2, you are only prompted once.
Important
Single sign-on requires that your RDP files are digitally signed by a trusted publisher. The certificate used to sign the RemoteApp programs must be present in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store on the client computer.
Are there any dependencies?
To take advantage of the new single sign-on features, the client must be running Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) 7.0.
