Presentation
In this tutorial, I explain how to set up the HTML 5 client interface to connect to the RDS farm on Windows.
Until now to connect to Remote Desktop or RemoteApp, it was necessary to have a heavy RDP client.
To connect without a client, it was necessary to implement alternatives such as Citrix Netscaler / StoreFront, Sophos XG
…
Since March 2018, Microsoft has previewed an HTML5 client that installs on the server with the RD Web Access role,
which allows you to connect to desktops and applications without the need for a heavy client.
Prerequisite
Servers with Remote Desktop, Service Broker, and Remote Desktop Gateway Web Access roles must be running
Windows Server 2016/2019.
The [Link] update must be
installed on the Remote Desktop Gateway server.
Broker / Gateway / Web Access certi cates should not be self-signed. (They can come from a private Authority)
The license mode must be per user.
Installation HTML5 client
The installation is to be done on the server having the role of Web Access.
