How to setup external access to the RDWeb in Azure

Hi All,

In Azure IaaS I have RD Gateway RD Session Host servers

On RDSH server I published an application.

Within the same subnet the RDWeb link opens fine.

Now I need to setup access to the published app through RDWeb from outside.

The domain name is domain.com and I've already created an A record that is pointed to the public IP address o the RD Gateway server.

How I can do that.

    Hi @Cloud_Geek_82

    Do you mean by Azure AD Application Proxy ? The Azure AD Application Proxy is used to expose the RD Web page to the internet for external access.

    Publish Remote Desktop with Azure AD Application Proxy

    @Cloud_Geek_82 Apologies for the delay in response and all the inconvenience caused because of the issue.

    You can put External Load balancer behind RD gateway server so that load balancer public IP will be associated with A record instead of Rd gateway server IP .

    From outside, if it is RD gateway public IP then it should work but if you don't want to expose the public IP of RD gateway (if you have) and want to do something else in BTE client and RD gateway, you can go for many options but all options are like load balancing options like load balancer (layer 4), application gateway (layer 7), traffic manager (dns), front door.

    I have personally seen RD gateway and servers behind load balancer mostly.

    You can indeed refer to this documentation which consist of details of process and might be helpful to you as well.

    This documentation might be beneficial as well.

    Hope it helps :) !!!

    Hi All,

    Thank you for your replies.
    First things first I want to make it clear - this is not a Remote Desktop Services in Azure.
    Basically this is how it is set up. In Azure I have a VNET 10.0.0.0/16 and subnet inside VNET 10.0.1.0/24.
    In that subnet I have RD Gateway server and RDS server.
    RD Gateway has a public IP assigned and DNS A record pointed to that IP address.
    Now the question is where I should configure 443 traffic redirection.
