Hello,
We've just setup a single server running Windows 2012 R2 and Remote desktop services. It will only be used by a max of 4 users and it really wasn't worth putting two servers in.
All the clients will be working remotely, ie no local users.
The local domain is London.local (for example) and the external FQDN is remote.abclondon.co.uk. The local server is called win2012.london.local
I have purchased a SSL certificate for remote.abclondon.co.uk
When we connect to RDWEB it logs into the app screen without any certificate errors. When we click on the first app, we then get a certificate mismatch error
Requested remote computer win2012.london.local. Name in the certificate from the remote computer remote.abclondon.co.uk.
Three questions
1) Why is the remote session seeing the name of the local computer
2) Is there a way around this, other than to format and rename the local domain to match the external domain, and purchase a wildcard SSL certificate.
3) Would this be the reason why, when accessed by a Mac, the session fails at the same point you would see the certificate mismatch error on a Windows PC ?
On a Windows PC, we can click ok to continue and the app starts.
OK, I've just noticed something else
The initial logon is using the certificate I purchased, but the certificate that is being used when I attempt to open an App is the self signed one.
When I check the deployment properties (in the RDS deployment overview), the certificates listed are
RD Connection Broker - Enable Single sign on
RD Conection Broker - Publishing
RD Web access
RD Gateway
All of which have a level of "untrusted"
Should I be creating and new certificates for one of these with the fqdn of my internal server which would then solve my certificate mismatch message ?
Thank you
Any assistance would be gratefully accepted.
Thank you
Slim
