Not allowing connection requests using saved credentials in RDP - Server Policy
Not allowing connection requests using saved credentials in RDP - Server Policy
Hi RDM.
We have a bunch load of RDP connections to our different customers sites, and some of them have set some policy not allowing save credentials in RDP file, which then forces us to enter the password again and then RDM connects fine.
I found a related topic about the same problem, but unfortunately the solutions is not shared: https://forum.devolutions.net/topic26462-the-servers-authentication-policy-does-not-allow-connection-requests-using-saved-credentials.aspx
Ive tried with setting up macro after connect with $MACRO_PASSWORD$ with different intial wait timer, but nothing happens when the prompt for password is open. First when i press cancel, the RDM thinks a bit and then execute the macro.
Any idea how to bypass this policy on our customers servers?

Hello,
By default, RDM use the same Microsoft ActiveX that Microsoft used in RDC Manager. This mean that if a policy is in place to block the password, it will be blocked in RDM as well.
They probably enabled this policy for security reasons.
On a side note, I may have something that I can propose, but be aware that this will bypass the security in place and it's maybe not something that you would like.
That being said, it's possible to use another RDP engine to establish the RDP connection. In File -> Options -> Types -> RDP, select FreeRDP as your RDP engine.
This engine may allow you to send the password inside a RDP session.

Thanks for your help and reply, but that would change the engine on the entire platform i assume? Is it possible to specify for certain entries?

Hello Kenny,
both is possible - you can set the FreeRDP Engine for all or only for specific sessions.
To configure a specific session edit the RDP session => Advanced => RDP Version
