No Support for SSL RDP?

Hi,
There is a setting in the Advanced Tab, Enable Network Level Authentication and the Authentication combobox, have you tried?

Well something is different now. I am unable to produce the error anymore.
Now, whether I use NLA or not the session does not connect and no error is produced. It just sits ther indefinately.
I can use the session if I select external. I cannot use the session if I choose embedded.
And I noticed something odd about the certificate warnings. I get two different certificate warnings depending on whether I use RDM or the MSRDP client. The order in which they appear is also different.
External Session: Certificate warning then logon screen.
MSRDP Client: Logon screen then certificate warning.
I dont know why they would be different if RDM is just using accessing the same client?

Hi,
yes and no, in external it's mstsc but in embedded, it's the ActiveX.

Ok, that makes sense.
I could provide a server for testing with ssl enabled if you do not have one available.

Hi,
Yes if it's possible, I would like this.

I sent you a PM.

I am doing my own experimentation with the server settings and it appears that when I enforce NLA on the server embedded connections stops connecting.

In contrast, if I do not enforce NLA and enable SSL I get the error in my first post. So it seems at leas the issue has nothing to do with the FIPS encryption level.

Ok, I just discovered that if you store the password, the certificate warning pops up. Then you get a prompt for another password.
This only works for external though. Try it on the ip I gave you.

Just to confirm, I did remove the NLA enforcement from the test server.
