Hello all, Nginx is the reverse proxy+ MS Remote Desktop Gateway using SSL, the first authentication is working, the problem is when I try to open a program in this environment for example wordpad.exe of session host RD, it ask for user and password (I use the same credentials used to connect in RD Gateway), when the credentials are filled up again, I get the message user or password are wrong. My .conf for the context: ``` location /RDWeb { <--- the same context context in IIS proxy_pass https://server.domain/RDWeb; proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding ""; proxy_set_header host server.domain; } location /rpc { <-- the same context context in IIS proxy_pass http://server.domain/rpc; } ``` In the log of nginx with debug mode on, show this information: 2014/10/17 09:06:02 [info] 20589#0: \*43 client x.x.x.x closed keepalive connection(this is the only message) Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

Make sure that Basic authentication is used, not NTLM aka Integrated Windows Authentication. The latter has problem with proxy servers due to it’s connection-oriented design, and will not work though nginx. > **[Integrated Windows Authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Windows_Authentication)** > > Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) > is a term associated with Microsoft products that refers to the SPNEGO, Kerberos, and NTLMSSP authentication protocols with respect to SSPI functionality introduced with Microsoft Windows 2000 and included with later Windows NT-based operating systems.

Hi timbo, I am also trying to connect to a Remote Desktop Gateway through nginx. Did you get it work?

Hi, sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean with stream {}, my nginx config for the RD Gateway is the following: ``` server {listen *:6080; listen *:6443 ssl; server_name ~^rdg..*$; include ssl_rdg.conf; location / {proxy_pass https://s2012-rdg; include ``` proxy\_defaults.conf;}} Should I replace proxy\_pass to stream?

Have you tried this using stream {} ? which works fine for vpn and other streaming services.

Hi, I’ve tried a lot of commands, stream is not recognized and I don’t think it’s possible to make it work. nginx need a certificate and RD Gateway need also a certificate, so there are 2 SSL connection between the client and the server, it’s can’t work. I also tried with the same certificate on the 2 connections, but without success… ☹ Regards, Fred Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: Nginx Reverse proxy + RD Gateway Auth Problem](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,254095,263214#msg-263214)** > > Hello all, Nginx is the reverse proxy+ MS Remote Desktop Gateway using SSL, the first authentication is working, the problem is when I try to open a program in this environment for example wordpad.exe of session host RD, it ask for user and password... ---
