Set RD Gateway authentication method

UserNative Intune settingTS_GATEWAY_POLICY_AUTH_METHOD

Supported on At least Windows Server 2003 operating systems with SP1 or Windows XP Professional with SP2

23H2 · 1.0

What it does

Specifies the authentication method that clients must use when attempting to connect to an RD Session Host server through an RD Gateway server. You can enforce this policy setting or you can allow users to overwrite this policy setting. By default, when you enable this policy setting, it is enforced. When this policy setting is enforced, users cannot override this setting, even if they select the "Use these RD Gateway server settings" option on the client. To allow users to overwrite this policy setting, select the "Allow users to change this setting" check box. When you do this, users can specify an alternate authentication method by configuring settings on the client, using an RDP file, or using an HTML script. If users do not specify an alternate authentication method, the authentication method that you specify in this policy setting is used by default. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the authentication method that is specified by the user is used, if one is specified. If an authentication method is not specified, the Negotiate protocol that is enabled on the client or a smart card can be used for authentication.

These deployment candidates come from the ADMX template; they are separate from the native CSP mapping above.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: TS_GATEWAY_OVERRIDE, TS_GATEWAY_AUTH_MODE
