What is the difference between RDS and Wvd?

Typically, windows virtual Desktop (WVD) differs from remote desktop services (RDS) since WVD focuses on providing a central location for users to access various applications hosted by a central server.

How does Remote Desktop services work?

With Remote Desktop, the host device powers the software and operating system, and displays it on the client device. Remote Desktop software captures mouse and keyboard inputs from the client device and sends them back to the host machine.

What is Application Gateway in Azure?

Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. Traditional load balancers operate at the transport layer (OSI layer 4 - TCP and UDP) and route traffic based on source IP address and port, to a destination IP address and port.

How does Azure application proxy work?

After a successful sign-in, Azure AD sends a token to the user's client device. The client sends the token to the Application Proxy service, which retrieves the user principal name (UPN) and security principal name (SPN) from the token. Application Proxy then sends the request to the Application Proxy connector.

Can a point to site client connect to a VNet?

Yes, Point-to-Site client connections to a virtual network gateway that is deployed in a VNet which is peered with other VNets may have access to other peered VNets. Point-to-Site clients will be able to connect to peered VNets as long as the peered VNets are using the UseRemoteGateway / AllowGatewayTransit features.

Do you need a VPN for a resource manager?

Yes. For the Resource Manager deployment model , you must have a RouteBased VPN type for your gateway. For the classic deployment model, you need a dynamic gateway. We do not support Point-to-Site for static routing VPN gateways or PolicyBased VPN gateways.

What is Azure VPN gateway?

Azure VPN gateway supports both Point-to-Site (P2S) and Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN connections. Using the Azure VPN gateway you can scale your employee's connections to securely access both your Azure deployed resources and your on-premises resources. For more information, see How to enable users to work remotely.

Because the RD Gateway role is supposed to be public, we recommend you use a publicly issued certificate. If you use a privately issued certificate, you'll need to make sure to configure all clients with the certificate's trust chain beforehand.

What is Azure Application Gateway?

Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. Traditional load balancers operate at the transport layer (OSI layer 4 - TCP and UDP) and route traffic based on source IP address and port, to a destination IP address and port.

Can you route traffic to a pool?

For example, you can route traffic based on the incoming URL. So if /images is in the incoming URL, you can route traffic to a specific set of servers (known as a pool) configured for images. If /video is in the URL, that traffic is routed to another pool that's optimized for videos.

How does Azure work?

Azure subscribers may manage their cloud environments from multiple devices, including management workstations, developer PCs, and even privileged end-user devices that have task-specific permissions. In some cases, administrative functions are performed through web-based consoles such as the Azure portal. In other cases, there may be direct connections to Azure from on-premises systems over Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Terminal Services, client application protocols, or (programmatically) the Azure Service Management API (SMAPI). Additionally, client endpoints can be either domain joined or isolated and unmanaged, such as tablets or smartphones.

What is Azure cloud service?

Azure cloud services configuration is performed through either the Azure portal or SMAPI, via the Windows PowerShell command-line interface or a custom-built application that takes advantage of these RESTful interfaces. Services using these mechanisms include Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Azure Storage, Azure Websites, and Azure Virtual Network, and others.

What is RD gateway?

To centralize all administrative access and simplify monitoring and logging, you can deploy a dedicated Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) server in your on-premises network, connected to your Azure environment.

How to minimize client attack surface?

For more secure management and operations, you can minimize a client’s attack surface by reducing the number of possible entry points. This can be done through security principles: “separation of duties” and “segregation of environments.”

What are the two approaches to secure management?

Typically, there are two approaches for helping to secure management processes: auditing and policy enforcement. Doing both provides comprehensive controls, but may not be possible in all situations. In addition, each approach has different levels of risk, cost, and effort associated with managing security, particularly as it relates to the level of trust placed in both individuals and system architectures.

Can you use Azure logon restrictions?

You can use Azure logon restrictions to constrain source IP addresses for accessing administrative tools and audit access requests. To help Azure identify management clients (workstations and/or applications), you can configure both SMAPI (via customer-developed tools such as Windows PowerShell cmdlets) and the Azure portal to require client-side management certificates to be installed, in addition to TLS/SSL certificates. We also recommend that administrator access require multi-factor authentication.

How does Azure AD work?

Azure AD, the Application Proxy service, and the Application Proxy connector work together to securely pass the user sign-on token from Azure AD to the web application.

On-premises applications can use Azure's authorization controls and security analytics. For example, on-premises applications can use Conditional Access and two-step verification. Application Proxy doesn't require you to open inbound connections through your firewall. Cost-effective.

Does Azure AD require a proxy?

Like most Azure AD hybrid agents, the Application Proxy Connector doesn't require you to open inbound connections through your firewall. User traffic in step 3 terminates at the Application Proxy Service (in Azure AD). The Application Proxy Connector (on-premises) is responsible for the rest of the communication.

What is Azure AD MFA?

Recall that the NPS server with the Azure AD MFA extension is the designated central policy store for the Connection Authorization Policy (CAP). Therefore, you need to implement a CAP on the NPS server to authorize valid connections requests.

Does RDG use RADIUS?

The RDG server doesn't use the RADIUS protocol with its client, so the extension can't interpret and perform the MFA. When the RDG server and NPS server with NPS extension are different servers, RDG uses NPS internally to talk to other NPS servers and uses RADIUS as the protocol to correctly communicate.

Is Azure AD MFA compatible with NPS?

Consumption-based licenses for Azure AD MFA, such as per user or per authentication licenses, are not compatible with the NPS extension. For more information, see How to get Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication. For testing purposes, you can use a trial subscription.
