Applies ToWindows 7 Windows Server 2008 Windows Vista Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.

  • You try to establish a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection to a terminal server on this computer.

  • The RDP connection is configured to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) authentication and Credential Security Support Provider protocol (CredSSP).

In this scenario, the RDP connection fails.Notes

  • This issue occurs when the server certificate on the terminal server is issued by an intermediate certification authority (CA) without the authority information access extension.

  • In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the "Terminal Services" is renamed as "Remote Desktop Services."

Cause

The CredSSP protocol does not provide the certificate chain information that is embedded in the server certificate. This problem occurs if the following two conditions are true:

  • The server certificate is issued by an intermediate CA that is embedded in the root CA.

  • The server certificate does not contain authority information access extensions that enable dynamic download of the chain information.

In this situation, the CertGetCertificateChain function cannot retrieve the full certificate chain of the server certificate. Therefore, the RDP connection fails.
