By default RD Web Access uses Forms authentication, but can you configure it to use Windows Integrated authentication instead? Sure, just open the following web.config file in Notepad:

%windir%\web\rdweb\Web.config

Then browse the comments in this file and you’ll find instructions on how to do so.

Note however that if you use Windows Integrated authentication then Web Single Sign On (SSO) isn’t supported:
