The only port needed externally should be 443. You don't want to expose 3389 publicly.

What does the event viewer say when people try to connect?

First of all, stop forwarding everything to your RD gateway except for 443. You have a major security issue.

Also be sure your RD gateway got the January 2020 security patch, as there is a critical TD Gateway remote code execution bug that can be remotely exploited by an unauthenticated attacker.

To start, try manually connecting to your TD s wnssion host from outside and manually specify your RD Gateway server. If this doesn't work then you have a problem with RD gateway. If it does work, then your problem could be with RD Web, etc.

to jono that replied that was initially checked before the post. thanks.

to justin1250 i understand that is a security risk and will be addressing that as soon as i get it working. there will be firewall rules only allowing certain sites to connect. thanks.

to kevinmhsieh the january security patch has been installed. i'm not sure what your request is regarding the TD s wnssion.

the connections are being made from the browser and the remote desktop app will not be used in this application but i need to make sure all is working before i turn it off.

i tried using remote desktop to connect instead of the web browser and got the same message stating that the remote desktop gateway server was unavailable. i tried changing the remote desktop server name several different ways with no success.

I meant to manually connect to RD session host via RD gateway. Autocorrect can really suck on my device.

Honestly I have never tried RD Web and RD gateway on same machine. I do know that it has to be done correctly, or the two services, which use the same listening port, will conflict.

kevinmhsieh thanks for clarifying on the autocorrect. i understand. i'm not sure if i'm following your lead though and it's probably because i don't understand. i can open a web browser on the rdweb server, go to the urlhttps://publicserver.publicdomain.com/rdwebget a login screen, login, see apps, and open the apps with one additional AD credentials prompt that i think shouldn't be there but with no errors through the process.

So after still working on the issue for quite some time i decided to just uninstall RD Web services and reinstall it. All of the errors have gone away but i'm still getting an extra authentication prompt when i go to launch the application that is published. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the extra domain authentication credentials prompt when clicking on the published application. I've already supplied my domain credentials at the RD Web splash page and would think that it wouldn't be necessary again. Maybe that's the way the stupid thing works but if someone knows please let me know.

Here is a great set of guides for RDS:

Run through the SSO guide to get rid of the prompts

justin1250 that's a lot of great information on your page! Thanks so much for your assistance. I don't think i would have ever found this in such detail although i'm still having a little bit of trouble. I worked my way thru your SSO article and got to the end of the GPO section and decided to test it so far. I ran a gpupdate/force from the AD and RD server but I'm not getting the message regarding trusting the app's publisher and i'm still getting the prompt again for the credentials. I have another GPO related to mapped drives just above this policy with the same setup of users so I think it's assigned correctly. Can you explain what the TERMSRV/ requirement is in front of the server name? I am using the .local name there also which is what made sense to me. I'm posting a pic of the policy to see if you see anything i might have done incorrectly. Thanks!

Ryan's guides are great!

I believe it is an SPN. Makes the account or the terminal server trusted for delegation and allows the credentials to pass.

Where are you applying the SSO GPO?

Have you checked the event logs on the servers for anything credential related?

i setup the GPO on the domain controller and assigned it to a small group of users that i am using as test users. i am seeing logon events in the domain controller security log but it doesn't show the user that logged in as it does when a user logs in locally.

So i was reading back through Ryan's guide on SSO and noticed this statement:

"SSO works only in the domain environment: Active Directory user accounts must be used, the RDS servers and user’s workstations must be included in the AD domain"

The remote users workstations are not part of the domain as they are remote. The RD Server and user accounts are part of the domain. Is this my problem?

GOT IT!

I found this in another one of Ryan's blogs:

https://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/10/configuring-rds-2012-certificates-and-sso/

This is the piece i was missing:

Add the Certificates created above to the .rdp trusted publishers using GPO:(Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Connection Client). Specify SHA1 thumbprints of certificates representing RDP publishers

Ryan's path wasn't correct but after correcting the path in the GPO and pasting the thumbprint in the policy it worked. Only one authentication for the user at the splash page.

    Hi,

    >>Enter local IP address as name of PC to remote into. User acct: "ask if required"

    Is this IP address for Mac pro(target PC)? Please also check if you have made the setting to enable Mac pro to accept remote desktop.

    https://support.apple.com/en-hk/guide/mac-help/mh21851/mac

    >>Add local IP address to gateway section

    Is this IP address for Gateway server? If not, you should contact your IT to check the details for Gateway used.

    Note: This configuration will allow you to connect through a Remote Desktop Gateway (used to allow secure connections using HTTPS from computers outside your corporate network).

    Please check with your IT administrator if port 443 is on listening or occupied by other service.

    Thanks,

    Jenny

    You cannot use the Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac client app to connect to another Mac, it's used primarily to connect to Windows machines. It's uses the RDP protocol which allows connections to Windows servers, and Pro versions of desktop OS's. Mac's use VNC natively, so you can use Screen Sharing thru Finder or any VNC client (if it's configured under Sharing/Screen Sharing on the Mac properly).

Question: Q: Microsoft Remote Desktop can't connect to Windows 10 computer (can connect fine from Windows)

I'm using the Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 app to try to connect to a Windows 10 computer via RD Gateway. If I try to initiate the connection from a Windows 10 computer with exactly the same settings, it works fine. It will not connect via a brand new MacBook Pro, it fails with the following error:


"We couldn't connect to the remote PC because the Remote Desktop Gateway is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting later or contact your network administrator for assistance.Error code: 0x3000061"


I even exported the connection from the Mac, copied and pasted across to a Windows 10 machine, double clicked on the exported RD connection and it works, so it's something with the Mac. If I ping the RD Gateway from the mac it resolves to the correct IP Address, I'm out of ideas. I've deleted and recreated the connection and RD Gateway that many times.


I tried the older Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 app and it doesn’t work either.


Googling this error for Mac basically turns up nothing.

It’d probably be better to ask some Microsoft folks or the Microsoft support folks about this Microsoft product. (Asking Apple users in a semi-related forum for a completely different product just isn’t the best spot for assistance.)


I hadn’t heard about RD Gateway until you’ve mentioned it. (I’d probably use a VPN for that purpose, too.)


Based on a few searches, I see documentation of using this product with the RD gateway. If that’s what you’re using and if it’s not working, then I’d check with the folks in a Microsoft forum or with Microsoft support.
