The user manual (Chapter 7, RDP encryption) states that TLS can be used for authentication (mode RDP5.2). It also says that the client must initiate it.
How can I install the server certificate in Virtualbox? I could not find any hints anywhere...

Re: Use TLS encryption
When you enable it, you should get a dialogue with the certificate itself. You can install it from there. This is part of the RDP client functionality, not something VB provides. It just presents a/the certificate it uses and the client should give you the option to trust it/install it.

Re: Use TLS encryption
Not sure if I understand you. The RDP-Server must know the certificate (file or something with private key and certificate) so it can present it to the client if the client requests it. But I do not know how to tell the RDP-Server which certificate to show the client? Is there a default or self-signed certificate? Or a location in the file system or a command line option one can configure the certificate on the RDP-Server?Sasquatch wrote:It just presents a/the certificate it uses and the client should give you the option to trust it/install it.
Btw. I start my VMs with: VBoxHeadless --startvm "NAME" on the command line so the RDP-Server listens on port 3389...

Re: Use TLS encryption
Checking the manual on what the feature is, you're asking one hell of a good question. I have no idea how it works. There is no documentation whatsoever about this there.
