Prerequisites

Before installing the SafeNet Agent for RD Gateway, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

• Administrative rights are required for installation and configuration of the agent.

• RD Gateway server must be up and running on the machine proposed for the agent installation.

• The remote machine (session host) that needs to be accessed must have the remote desktop services running. It must be accessible from the remote desktop gateway and on the same domain as the remote desktop gateway.

• Ensure that the RD Gateway service (tsgateway) is running, and the mode is set to Automatic.

• .NET framework 4.0 or above must exist on the RD Gateway machines.

• Communication must be established between the agent and the SafeNet server. To configure, add an Auth Node in SAS as follows:

  1. In the SAS Management Console, select VIRTUAL SERVERS > COMMS > Auth Nodes.
  2. Enter the name or IP address of the computer where the agent is installed.

  For details, refer to the SafeNet Authentication Service (SAS) Service Provider Administrator Guide.

  Note

  Installation of RD Gateway agent disables the existing Remote Desktop Connection Authorization Policies (RD CAP) and Resource Authorization Policies (RD RAP). Policy settings that are configured prior to the Remote Desktop Gateway integration cease to work.
