hello,

I use remote desktop client on an android tablet to connect on my remote server.
When i click on the checkbox before connecting, I cannot connect on the remote server anymore (but no problem if i add another server, of if i leave the checkbox unchecked).

do you know if the checkbox changes a register key on the remote server ?

Best regards;

    Hello,

    The check box is a local setting to ignore certificates mismatch. It doesn't change anything on the remote server.

    Is there some other error if you check the box and connect?

    it's possible that the checkbox you are referring to is related to the option "Allow me to save credentials" in the Remote Desktop client. When this option is enabled, the Remote Desktop client saves your login credentials for future use.

    However, if the password for the remote server changes, the saved credentials may no longer work, which could explain why you can't connect to the server later on.

    To troubleshoot this issue, I would suggest checking the Remote Desktop client settings on both your Android tablet and the remote server to ensure that they are properly configured. You can also try manually entering your login credentials each time you connect to the server to see if that resolves the issue.

    Additionally, you may want to check the Event Viewer on the remote server for any error messages or events related to Remote Desktop connections. This can give you more information about why the connection is failing.

    On the RDP server

    Group policy > Comp Config > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services >

    Remote Desktop Connection Client > Prompt for credentials - Enabled

    Remote Desktop Connection Client > Configure server auth - Enabled

    Remote Desktop Session Host > Security > Always prompt for password - Enabled

    Remote Desktop Session Host > Security > Require use of specific security - Enabled - SSL

    Remote Desktop Session Host > Security > Require user auth for remote NLA - Enabled

    Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections> Select RDP transport protocols - UDP or TCP

    now the MS android RDP app will connect every time instead of only the first time. This was also tested over an OpenVPN connection.
