This topic describes transparent connections to target systems using a standard RDP Client Application Connect to target systems directly from your desktop using any standard RDP client application, such as MSTSC, to benefit from a native user experience. Requirements The PSM server must be hardened. For details, see PSM Hardening Tasks. Connections can be made from Unix / Linux / Mac / Windows end user machines, providing that the RDP client application which is used to establish the connection includes the ability to configure the Start Program setting for the RDP connections. The official Microsoft RDP client for Mac does not include this ability and therefore cannot be used to establish connections through PSM. Use any connection manager or other RDP client that allows configuring the Start Program setting instead. Considerations Before using your standard RDP client application to connect through PSM to your target system, review the following considerations: General Settings for drives, printers and clipboard redirection specified in the connection component level are enforced, and platform level configurations are ignored. Connections that require additional information from the user when the connection is established (user parameters) cannot be initiated using an RDP client application. Dual control, ticketing integration, or specifying a reason before connecting are not supported. Instead, use the PVWA. If your request to use the account is approved, you are able to connect to this account using an RDP client application. Connections made from an RDP client application are Remote Desktop connections, and are not RemoteApp connections. Remote Windows Server (RDP) The built-in connection component for RDP connections via PSM is PSM‑RDP. Connections that require prompting for user parameters are not supported. To avoid prompting for user parameters, when connecting to Windows machines, ask your Vault administrator to set any user parameters, such as the LogonDomain, in the account details. To connect to your target machine using a domain account, append the domain name to the username used to login to the target machine. For information on how to set your RDP client application to connect using a domain account, seeConfigure an RDP Start Program Remote SSH Device The built-in connection component for SSH connections through PSM are PSM‑SSH and PSM-Telnet. To connect your target machine using a domain/NIS account, append the domain name to the username used to login to the target machine. For details on how to set your RDP client application to connect using

New and you suddenly begin having problems, check if your RDS CALs are installed. Verifying that the endpoint has the right permissions to access Remote Desktop Services. 6. Dropped connections Sometimes the client can establish an RDP session, but the available bandwidth is inadequate to support the session's requirements. The session might appear to freeze, or you might see a black screen. In some cases, the client might drop the connection and display a message that says 'Reconnecting.' If you suspect there might not be enough bandwidth to support the RDP session, try closing any applications and shutting off other devices that might be consuming bandwidth. You can adjust the RDP client to use a lower display resolution or color depth and disable visual features, such as font smoothing or the Windows background. To reduce the bandwidth consumption of the native Windows RDP client, follow these steps: Open the RDP client. Expand the console by clicking on the Show Options link. Select the Experience tab. Select the Low-speed broadband option from the drop-down menu. Click Connect. The remote desktop session Windows with the low-speed broadband option selected. 7. CredSSP problems RDP connectivity can sometimes fail due to issues with the Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) protocol. The CredSSP provides a means of sending user credentials from a client computer to a host computer when an RDP session is in use. By default, the RDP only works if both the client and the RDP host use an updated CredSSP provider. If

--> Graphic issues on Windows 11 client with mstsc RDP after applying Windows patch level 24H2 calendar_todayUpdated On: Products CA Privileged Access Manager (PAM) Issue/Introduction When connecting to any Windows server through the PAM client using mstsc.exe on a Windows 11 client we are seeing GUI issues making the RDP connection useless. This only started after updating Windows 11 to version 24H2. This problem does not affect using the PAM Access RDP Applet. It does affect using mstsc.exe with both the PAM TCP/UDP services and new PAM 4.2 feature for Windows Gateway services (see PAM Gateway for RDP). Environment PAM Client installed on Windows 11, version 24H2. Cause The Windows 11 patch version 24H2 removed a version of bitmap encoding support from mstsc.exe that was utilized by our RDP proxy service. Resolution Applying Windows patch February 11, 2025—KB5051987 should resolve this problem. If you continue to have problems with the February, or a later, monthly patch applied to Windows 11 24H2, open a case with PAM Support. Feedback thumb_up Yes thumb_down No

Hi, I have very similar problem. When I try to connect to Windows 10 client from Mac via RDP via external IP address the client connects, I can enter the user password for login and as soon as the desktop shows up it freezes and soon after gray reconnecting screen appears, after reconnecting few seconds elapse and again the same scenario. When I connect via VPN and then via RDP using local IP (intranet IP of the RDP client) the connection works fine without reconnecting. It is surely no connection issue as VPN adds some overhead and the RDP works fine while direct RDP protocol via external IP has some problems causing reconnection issues. I was trying to fix that by disabling temporarily the Windows Defender Firewall completely and disabling the Antivirus protection, but it did not change anything. Did anyone face similar problems and perhaps found any solution? Any clue why via VPN the RDP works seamlessly and using external IP it constantly tries to reconnect? What is interesting when I connect to Windows Server 2019 Standard via RDP it works fine both via external IP and via VPN intranet IP. My configuration: MacBook Air 13" Early 2015 running macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Tried Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac 10.4.1 (1825) and Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta for Mac 10.5.0 (1826) Windows 10 Pro version 1909 compilation 18363.1139.

Run the following command in the PowerShell console to install the OpenSSH client on Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2022/2019:Get-WindowsCapability -Online | ? Name -like 'OpenSSH.Client*'To create an SSH tunnel with a remote host 192.168.1.90, run the command:ssh -L 8888:192.168.1.90:3389 [email protected]The following connection string is used in this example: LOCAL_PORT:DESTINATION_IP:DESTINATION_PORT and USER@DESTINATION_IP (the username and address of the remote SSH server)To make the SSH tunnel run in the background, add the –f parameter.To connect to a Remote Desktop via the SSH tunnel, you need to connect to the local port 8888 of your computer using the RDP client (mstsc.exe):127.0.0.1:8888Login to the remote computer and work safely in the RDP session. You can use the Get-NetTCPConnection cmdlet or the TCPView tool to make sure that the RDP connection has been established locally (the RDP connection was initiated by the SSH server running locally):Get-NetTCPConnection -State Established|where {$_.localport -eq "3389"}|flYou can check that the TCP/3389 port on the server is not directly accessible from your computer. You can check the availability of a port using the Test-NetConnection cmdlet:Test-NetConnection 192.168.1.90 -port 3389TcpTestSucceeded : FalseOther computers of your local network can also use this tunnel to simultaneously connect to an RDP server even if the direct connection is not allowed (both via SSH and RDP). To do it, they must use the RDP client to connect to port 8888 on your computer (with the SSH tunnel created):mstsc.exe /v 10.10.1.220:8888Securing an RDP connection with an SSH tunnel can be a good VPN alternative for accessing public Windows hosts. In this case, you don’t need to directly open the RDP/3389 port on the Windows host. It is enough to open only the SSH/22 port, which will protect you from RDP brute force attacks and the exploitation of 0-day RDP vulnerabilities.You can use the sshpass tool to provide password automation for SSH login. You can run this tool through the WSL2 subsystem for Windows.Install the sshpass in Ubuntu WSL:$ sudo apt-get -y install ssphassRun the Remote Desktop Connection client (mstsc.exe) and save the connection settings to the localhost-3389.rdp file:Computer: localhost:8888User name: remoteusernameTo automatically connect to a remote RDP host with a saved SSH password, use the following bat file:start /min wsl sshpass -p "password" ssh -L 8888:192.168.31.90:3389 [email protected] powershell sleep 5 start mstsc C:\script\localhost-3389.rdpOr (preferably) set up SSH key authentication.How to Create SSH Tunnel on Windows with Putty?Let’s look at how to create an SSH tunnel on Windows using the popular SSH client Putty.Run PuTTY and navigate to Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels;Specify the local port number in the Source port (in our example, it is 8888);Specify the IP address of the SSH server and the port on the remote host to forward the connection: 192.168.31.90:3389Select
