Does Rublon MFA for RD Web Access support RD Web Windows Authentication / Single Sign-On?

Modified on Wed, 7 Feb at 11:12 AM

The Rublon MFA for RD Web Access connector does not currently support RD Web Windows Authentication / Single Sign-On. We found that having both enabled may lead to issues with user authentication.


Kindly disable RD Web Windows Authentication / Single Sign-On before installing Rublon MFA for RD Web Access to avoid authentication issues.


Support for RD Web Windows Authentication/Single Sign-On is on our roadmap.
