The latest Royal TS V26 (Windows) and Royal TSX V26 (macOS) Betas introduce support for Remote Desktop Gateway Pluggable Authentication and Authorization (PAA) using access tokens.
This allows Royal TS/X to connect through Remote Desktop Gateway deployments that require an access token in addition to (or instead of) standard username/password authentication, such as secure access solutions that issue token-based credentials.
Since PAA can be configured to work with different authentication providers, the exact configuration depends on the specific RD Gateway vendor/solution in use.
To use this functionality, at least version 26.0.8 of the Royal TSX V26 Beta and the latest FreeRDP plugin need to be installed.
As for Royal TS V26 (Windows) at least version Beta 20 is required.
Furthermore, an RD Gateway environment configured for PAA / access token-based authentication needs to exist.
