Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You configure a Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access) server on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • You use a user account to try to connect to a remote desktop server through the RD Web Access server.

  • The user account name contains localized characters.

In this scenario, you cannot connect to the remote desktop server. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

Remote Desktop can’t connect to the remote computer "<name>" for one of the these reasons:

1) Your user account is not authorized to access the RD Gateway "<name>"
2) Your computer is not authorized to access the RD Gateway "<name>"
3) You are using an incompatible authentication method (for example, the RD Gateway might be expecting a smart card but you provided a password)

Contact your network administrator for assistance.


Cause

This issue occurs because the Remote Desktop Gateway service uses an incorrect method to encode user name characters.

The Remote Desktop Gateway service takes advantage of the Network Policy Server (NPS) service to handle user authentication requests. However, the Remote Desktop Gateway service does not encode user name characters by using the encoding method that the NPS service uses. Therefore, the user cannot connect to the remote desktop server and they receive an error message.
