Authentication of users without a license

By default, RDP Windows Logon works with users who have the AM RDP Windows Logon license.

Nevertheless, you can configure the authentication of users without a license. To do this:

  1. Open Windows Registry Editor.

  2. In the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Axidian-ID\RemoteAuth section, create a DWORD parameter named AllowNonEAUsers:

    • If the AllowNonEAUsers parameter value is 1, users without the RDP Windows Logon license can authenticate with the domain password (without using Axidian Access technology).

    • If the AllowNonEAUsers parameter value is 0 or not specified, authentication is performed only for users with the RDP Windows Logon license. A user without a license cannot authenticate.

    Parameter operation scenarios
    • If the user is outside the Axidian Access user catalog — the AllowNonEAUsers setting applies to the user; the user cannot authenticate if the parameter value is not 1.
    • If the user is in the user catalog without a license, but there is no application in the policy for the user or the user is not included in a policy — the AllowNonEAUsers setting applies to the user; such users cannot authenticate if the parameter value is not 1.
    • If the user is in the user catalog without a license and there is an application in the user policy — the AllowNonEAUsers setting does not apply to the user. A login attempt with automatic license capture is always performed.
