RD Web
Hi Guys,
I have an application I wish to publish through RD Web, it is currently accessible via terminal services.
I would like to publish the web with an SSL certificate, and no user login required.
The application already has security / login features available.
Is this possible?

no since rdweb must first authenticate and then authorize the user.
The user would have to log on at least once - to the RDWeb site itself. You can configure webapps for single sign on so that after the initial website logon they don't have to log on again. Is that what you mean?
anonymous logins are possible with citrix ...
but you have to license all possible users for RDS ... the whole internet , without authentication.
There are ISP licenses i think.

Hypercat, I would ideally like to use single sign-on ...
The problem is that the application on the server side is not web-enabled (standard Windows App)
Thus, I was hoping to use RDWeb "without authentication" so that the user would only sign-on once - launching the actual application.

What OS is your server running?
I'm not sure what you mean by a "standard Windows app." I have, for example, some 3rd party apps that I run using RDWeb with single sign-on. The users do have a second sign-on but that's because the app requires its own authentication. IOW, they sign on to the RDWeb site with their domain credentials, click to run the app and then when the app opens it presents its own login screen and the credentials used are different from the standard Windows logon credentials. However, if they run what I would describe as a standard Windows app, like Word or Adobe Reader, they don't have to sign on again because the app runs in the context of the Windows user credentials that they used when logging on to the website.

What I meant by standard Windows app is that the application is not web based.
This is a 3rd party app, with it's own authentication.
I was hoping for a single sign-on (thus in the application itself),
... bypassing the RDWeb sign-on.
As you've mentioned, users have to log on twice. (once into RDWeb and then into the 3rd party app)
Users are complaining about the double sign-in process.
