Identity problem during RDP access

Hello,
when I try to open an RDP connection to one of the registered computers via the console, I get a warning message: "Unable to verify identity...".
I don't get this warning when I open the remote desktop connection using the Windows program.

Is there a specific configuration related to launching it via the console?

Thank you in advance.

Opening an RDP connection can be done the old-fashioned way (directly opening to a graphical buffer with the login screen) or with the "Network Level Authentication" option which will validate the fingerprint of the machine on the other side and validate the authentication before opening a graphical buffer (basically a bit like how ssh works).

It seems your RDP client isn't performing NLA, or it has already registered the fingerprint. Otherwise, you would see the same message. The command launched by the WAPT console is simply: mstsc /p:<ip_poste>

Sincerely,

Denis
