Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment. Or, you have remote apps that are published through RDWeb.
-
You enable the Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication option in the RDP-Tcp Properties dialog box by using the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool (Tsconfig.msc).
-
You establish a remote desktop session to the server from a client computer by using a user account that was granted Remote Desktop access.
-
The password of the user account is expired.
-
You receive the following error message:
You must change your password before logging on the first time. For assistance, contact your system administrator or technical support.
In this scenario, a prompt to change the password is not displayed. Therefore, you cannot change the password of the user account.Note This issue also occurs in any RDP environment in which Network Level Authentication (NLA) and the Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) are enabled.This issue occurs only when the client is not in the domain. If the client is in the domain, the client will be able to change the password. The client will receive the error only when the client is not in domain. The client may also receive the following error message when the client logs in from the RDWeb role:
The user name or password that you entered is not valid. Try typing it again.
This error will change when you are connecting to VDIs or RDSHs directly from a non-domain-joined computer if the hotfix that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article is installed on the Windows 7 client:
2648397 You cannot change an expired user account password in a Remote Desktop session from a client computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 However, users will not be able to make any password change from Mstsc.exe itself.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, you must install this hotfix on the server that is hosting the RDWeb role. This hotfix does not provide a method for changing a password directly through Mstsc.exe for non-domain-joined clients. However, after you install this hotfix, users who try to log on to RDWeb (that is , on to the web portal itself) by using an account that has an expired password will be redirected to the password change page. After they update their password, users will return to a functional state. They can log on to RDWeb and start RemoteApp sessions. They can also use .rdp files or Mstsc.exe. Â For more information, go to the following website:
CredSSP spec In the protocol specification for CredSSP, there is no reference to the ability to change the user's password while NLA is running. Therefore, the observed behavior can be considered "by design." CredSSP is the underlying technology that enables NLA, and it does not support password changes. Therefore, password changes are not enabled in MSTSC. Other RD clients that support NLA should be unable to change the user’s password.Unless you apply this hotfix on an RDWeb server and not on an RDSH server, you do not have to have the client hotfix that resolves the password change issue. That is, you do not have to have KB 2648397 installed on the Windows 7 client. After you have the server-side hotfix installed on RDWeb, it will also work for other versions of Windows such as Windows XP.However, you must do more than install the hotfix on RD Web. After you install the hotfix, you have to set a flag to TRUE in the Web.config file. By default, the feature that this flag represents is turned off. To turn on the feature, follow these steps:
-
1. Open the following file:%systemDrive%/windows/web/rdweb/pages/web.config
-
Set the following value to TRUE:<!-- PasswordChangeEnabled: Provides password change page for users. Value must be "true" or "false" --><add key="PasswordChangeEnabled" value="false" />
Sometimes, this line of code may be missing even after you install the hotfix. This behavior may occur because the Web.config file, together with most user-configurable files and registry settings, is marked as "mutable" in our servicing infrastructure. When the value is set to TRUE, Setup will not overwrite a file by using a later version if the user changed the original file. This behavior makes sure that a user's files, settings, and custom code are not overwrittenwhen an update is installed. If the Web.config file was changed or customized, the system will not overwrite the file.If this line of code is missing, you should manually add it to the relevant Web.config file. This will enable the new functionality.
