RDS server is giving an error "connection cannot proceed because authentication is not enabled"
Description

When connection to Windows 2008 series TS/RDSH, user may see the following error message: "The connection cannot proceed because authentication is not enabled and the remote computer requires that authentication be enabled to connect"
Cause

Issue is caused by enforcing SSL/TLS over the RDP and there's no matching certificate on the client machine
Resolution

When vWorkspace connecting external users through its Secure-IT SSL gateway, the only required certificate is the one, that installed on SSL gateway machine (publicly known). After that vWorkspace tunnels RDP over the SSL through SSL gateway and additional SSL encrption is not required. Please reconfigure RDP-TCP listener on TS/RDSH to negotiate encryption instead of enforcing SSL/TLS. Please see the following Microsoft article for the more information:
