1.3.8.1 RDSTLS

The RDSTLS Security Protocol (section 5.4.5.3) is primarily used in the context of server redirection scenarios. When the Redirection PDU is sent to the client (step 3 in section 1.3.8), RDSTLS should be used for the subsequent reconnection and authentication phase (steps 4 and 5 of section 1.3.8) if it contains two key data items:

  • The authentication certificate of the target server.

  • An encrypted password for user authentication.

These two items are used in the context of RDSTLS to facilitate mutual authentication when reconnecting to the target server.
