Certificate Requirements for Using RemoteApp and Desktop Connection on Windows 7
When a user sets up and accesses Conexão com RemoteApp e Área de Trabalho on a computer that is running Windows 7, the computer communicates with the Acesso via Web a Área de Trabalho Remota (Acesso via Web RD) server. An Acesso via Web RD server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 is automatically configured to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Therefore, the computer that is running Windows 7 must be configured to trust the certificate used by the Acesso via Web RD server.

An Acesso via Web RD server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 is automatically configured to use a self-signed certificate. By default, the self-signed certificate is not trusted by Windows 7. Self-signed certificates are recommended only for testing and evaluation purposes. |
To allow the Windows 7 computer to communicate with the Acesso via Web RD server, we recommend that you configure the Acesso via Web RD server to use a trusted certificate, such as a certificate issued by a trusted public certification authority (CA). For information about third-party commercial CAs that are trusted by Microsoft, see article 931125 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (

Single sign-on for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection
You can configure single sign-on for Programas do RemoteApp when users access Conexão com RemoteApp e Área de Trabalho from the Start menu on a computer that is running Windows 7 or by using the Web site provided by Acesso via Web RD.

- All servers should sign their .rdp files for their Programas do RemoteApp with the same certificate.
- The Agente de Conexão da ´Área de Trabalho Remota (Agente de conexão RD ) server should be configured to use the same certificate that is used by the servers.
