Configure RDM Active Directory Interactive (with MFA)

Index

This topic is for Remote Desktop Manager version 2022.1 and higher. If you are using an older version please follow this topic instead.

Active Directory Interactive (with MFA Support) allows you to authenticate on your Microsoft Azure SQL data source using your Office365 account + MFA.

When creating SQL Active Directory users, you must be logged in with an Azure Active Directory user. Otherwise it will fail and you will be notified of the error.

Use the servers defined Azure Active Directory Admin to create your first RDM admin users. Once you've created, you can use this new account to create other users.
