Anyone know how to connect RDS gateway with RD web servers. I know how to connect the RDP client to it but what if user are access it through the rdweb url..how does that work.

Back in the day, when I was working with RDS, I installed the RD Gateway and RD Web roles on the same server
IMO it's more simple this way

thanks, but client wants them seperate. i am just trying to figure out how to have the rdweb connection go through the RD Gateway. If they just use the RD client they can just plug in the RD gateway address....
but not sure what to do when the user comes in from RD web
k
If I remember correctly it will require 2 public IPs and a certificates
n
no, but how do you connect the two...how do have a user connect from RD Web (screenshot below) and through RDS Gateway. Does it automatically pick it up.
nvm, somehow it automatically runs it...
it automatically connects
k
It should pick it up automatically once the RD Gateway role is published in the RDS farm
but to connect from the outside of your firewall, you most likely will have to have 2 public IPs as both the RD Web and RD Gateway use port 443 and as they are installed on 2 servers, they have 2 different names as well
n
hmm...yeah, i am...it doesn't seem to be picking it up
they are only using this internally
k
OK, why do they want to have the RD Gateway in the mix, if they are only doin internal logins?

Do yourself a favor and go get parallels RAS. Makes all this RDS stuff taste nicer for a small cost

Or go back to Citrix and make it taste nicer for an even bigger cost 😄
