Authentication

Menu path: Setup > Sessions > RDP > Remote Desktop Web Access > Authentication

You can change login settings on the server and select applications that are launched automatically after logging in.

The login settings on the server are only effective if Sessions > RDP > Remote Desktop Web Access > Server > Server configuration is set to Predefined configuration. Further information can be found under Remote Desktop Web Access Server.

Authentication mode: Specifies how the user authenticates themselves on the server.
Possible values:

• "Passthrough authentication": This option can be used if the local endpoint device login takes place via Kerberos or Shared Workspace. The login data saved temporarily when logging in to the device will be used for the user name and password.

• "Auto logon": The login data in Username, Password, and Domain will be used to log in.

• "User logon": The user enters the data in a login window.

Username: User name when logging in to the server

Password: Password when logging in to the server

Domain: Domain in which the user name and password are valid

Save username and domain from the last login
Possible options:

• "Yes": The username and domain from the last login will be saved.

• "No": The username and domain from the last login will not be saved.

• "Legacy": It will be checked whether Sessions > RDP > RDP Global > Local Logon > Preset login information is enabled. If it is enabled, the saved data of Local Logon will be used also for RD Web Access.
