2.1.2 SSO to Windows Session Using Privileged Account Manager Credential Provider

These are remote desktop sessions to target computers that can be accessed using your user console credentials. These resource accesses are not displayed in the user console as you cannot launch these sessions from the user console.

To start a remote desktop connection by using credential provider, you must save the Remote Desktop Connection to a separate file, which creates a shortcut for the remote desktop session. You can directly launch the Remote Desktop Connection from the shortcut you created.

Perform the following steps to save the Remote Desktop Connection to a separate file:

  1. Open the Remote Desktop Connection client.

  2. Specify the IP address of the target computer.

  3. Click Options and then click Save As to save the Remote Desktop connection as a separate file.

  4. Add the following to the saved Remote Desktop Connection file by using a text editor and save the file:

    enablecredsspsupport:i:0

  5. Click the saved Remote Desktop Connection file.

    For subsequent sessions you can just click the saved Remote Desktop Connection icon.

  6. Click the Credential Provider tile.

  7. Specify your user console credentials to log in to the computer.

    NOTE:Ensure that you provide the user name in uppercase.
