How can i set encryption of the traffic sent between the host / client and visa versa in a Windows remote desktop session, when using Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac as the client ?
In the setup where looking at using :
- CLIENT : Remote Desktop for Mac v 10.x (latest at time of writing)
- HOST : W10 pro (latest at time of writing)
Thanks @tonny, So does that mean that i would have to set the encryption on the host windows machine (running w10 pro) or when the host and client initially communicate do they default between them to strongest available ? If so is there a way to see what encryption is being used ? – sam – 2018-04-06T15:34:07.050
1@sam Encryption on the Windows side is always on (since NT4 or WIn2000, not sure). You can downgrade the encryption by changing registry settings or using the group-policy editor. Not something the average user will ever do. Another thing is NLA which you can enable in the Remote Settings control panel. Strictly speaking not encryption but a more secure way of logging in to the remote system. The current Microsoft RDP client for macOS is compatible with this. The older RDP client (prior to 2017 if I recall correctly) wasn't. – Tonny – 2018-04-07T10:24:55.277
