I have Windows Server 2016 Essentials Experience installed and want to access LAN hosts from WAN via RDP.
Port 443 is already in use in my WAN router, so I forwarded port 4343 to my Windows Server 2016. I was able to change RD Gateway port number to 4343 from 443 on the server. Now when I use Remote Web Access to access LAN hosts from the WAN via RDP, it downloads a .rdp file. Unfortunately, this .rdp file has gatewayhostname without the updated port number (still defaults to 443). How can I fix this so the rdp file generated by Wssg.Web.RDP.dll assembly also has the correct port number in it? Now I have to tell users to add :4343 to the gatewayhostname for the remote desktop session to connect properly.

The client sees the RDP file generated by Remote Web Access. :4343 is missing from the gatewayhostname field. To gain RDP access it is necessary to edit the RDP file.

gatewayhostname:s:my.gateway.server:4343
