Windows 10 Pro as RDP Host with SSL Certificate. How?
I have exhausted my patience looking for how to add an SSL certificate to my Windows 10 Pro machine so that when I connect from another place, I don't get certificate errors.
So far, every guide I run into eventually turns out to be for Windows Server.
What I've tried:
I click on start menu then type certlm.msc
and hit Enter.
I place my purchased certificate in the Host Machine's Personal > Certificates
folder AND the Remote Desktop > Certificate Service
folder.
When I try to reconnect from another machine, I still get the certificate trust error.
Can anyone help?
Again, I am trying to accomplish this in a Windows 10 Pro machine, NOT Windows Server.
On client, same rules apply. You have to assign certificate to RDS configuration. For example, using PowerShell:
$path = (Get-WmiObject -class "Win32_TSGeneralSetting" -Namespace root\cimv2\terminalservices -Filter "TerminalName='RDP-tcp'").__path
Set-WmiInstance -Path $path -argument @{SSLCertificateSHA1Hash="THUMBPRINT"}
where THUMBPRINT
is a thumbprint of your certificate. These commands must be executed in elevated shell.
