Issue/Introduction

Transparent logins are prompting for passwords, even though they are configured to auto-connect.

 

Environment

Release : 4.0.x

Cause

Remote Desktop Services GPO Setting -> Always prompt for password upon connection

Resolution

When this GPO is set, on the PAM Device Group, we have the following setting:

Provide Credentials for 'Always Prompt for Password' than needs be be checked off on the Enable Tab.

This setting is directly due to the following GPO:
