Can I configure /rdweb to use DoD PKI authentication?

I need the the W2k16 /rdweb host to authenticate using DoD CAC PKI credentials. This in hosted on premise in a vSphere environment. Azure is not an option.
I want to configure access to https://fqdn/rdweb via web proxy due to enclave restrictions on a WAN not connected to the Internet. (We CAN already access the RD GW using DoD PKI from other enclaves that have different cybersecurity GW access restrictions.)
The goal is to access the RD Gateway from the RDP Connection client as an app on the /rdweb server.
I found https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/137727/use-smart-card-with-rdweb-access.html - my infrastructure team says this won't work.
Is there another configuration solution that I'm missing here?

    Hi,
    Do you want to log on RDweb Server then open RDP Connection client app to access RD Gateway?
    Do you config SSO?
    https://blog.matrixpost.net/sso-single-sign-on-to-your-onpremise-rds-remote-desktop-services-2016-2019-environment/
    Also In general, RD Web Access server role works together with IIS to provide the RD Web Access website user experience for RDP users. RD Gateway is used to provider external users a secure connection.

    Best Regards,

    Trying to setup access w/o RD GW. Cannot use a proxy to access RD GW. I need to set up DoD PKI to authenticate /rdweb service. These links are helpful but my need is external access through a web proxy to /rdweb. RD GW is authenticating with PKI but cannot accept a proxied login.
