How to configure https connection to windows server that uses windows sso?
The windows server I am connecting to has Windows Admin Center running on it. (Formerly known as Project Honolulu). Outside of rdm in either Edge/Internet Explorer and Chrome, when i connect to the website, it doesn't prompt me for a password and lets me right into the web admin center page. I am assuming that rdm's https connection doesn't support windows sso? Is there a way to configure RDM to allow this? Or is there a way to configure the rdm http connection differently to get this to work?

Do you mean that you login once and after that the same credential are used for you other connection or it's completely automatic?

The Application running on the windows server allows access to the website based on role associated with the local administrators group on that server. My ad account is part of the local administrator group of the server and that group is associated with the role for the web application. I am never presented with a login page or asked for credentials. When I launch chrome and type in the url, i am granted into the website.

Active Directory or local machine groupsBy default, Active Directory or local machine groups are used to control gateway access. You can manage gateway user and administrator access from within the Windows Admin Center interface.
On the Users tab you can control who can access Windows Admin Center as a gateway user. By default, and if you don't specify a security group, any user that accesses the gateway URL has access. Once you add one or more security groups to the users list, access is restricted to the members of those groups.
We will have to investigate. For now I have not idea how we could do that.

Ok no worries. Day to day, i'm moving the various windows and consoles i work on, into RDM. So far I've moved a lot. I was eventually going to encounter a system admin tool i use that wouldn't work in RDM....
