Hi, when I connect via rdp to a Windows server and open the active directory there, I first get asked for the credentials to establish the rdp session and then another time when I open the AD or any other app. Is there a way so that Windows server automatically uses the credentials by the user I used to establish the rdp session, without asking every time I open an app?
What might be important is, that I use a different user for the rdp session than the one I am logged in on my work computer.
What I do not mean by this question, is that rdp itself saves the credentials. I mean that the Windows server uses the user I used for the rdp session.
Any way to do that?
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
This seems need to configure CredSSP. After the client and server are authenticated, the client passes the user's credentials to the server: Credential Security Support Provider - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn
And then enable the RDP Client to Use CredSSP by modify the RDP file Supported RDP properties | Microsoft Learn
I hope this information helps.
Best regards,
