I have a simple setup of a single RD Web Server with the gateway role also installed. I then have 4 session host servers that host remote desktop and thats it. My internal and external domain names are the same domain.com
Everything is 2008 R2 sp1
My Web address for RD WEB = remote.domain.com
RD Web/Gateway server = tsw.domain.com
Session host = sessionhost2.domain.com, sessionhost3.domain.com, sessionhost4.domain.com, sessionhost5.domain.com
I have a single Wildcard certificate *.domain.com
this certificate is installed on the RD Web/gateway server and also on the each session host server.
My issue is i keep reading on different sites and forums that on when singing remote apps with a certificate "The server name must match what is specified in the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate for the RD Gateway server"
Im not sure how this is possible with a wildcard certificate?
So my issue is i can sign into remote.domain.com and see my published remote desktop without issue, when i click on the remote desktop icon i get prompted by a windows security box to enter credentials to connect to tsw.domain.com. This i unexpected?
I fill in my credentials domain\username and password and get past this, then i get theexpected security pop-up to enter my credentials to connect to the sessionhost5.domain.com. i am able to put in my credentials once again and the remote desktop opens.
The first popup listing the RD WEB/gateway server is my concern, i should not be getting prompted to connect to the gateway server. So my question is it really possible to use a single wildcard certificate for all of these roles?
