Frequently Asked Questions on Remote Desktop Access

Single Sign-on (SSO) is a one-step user authentication process. If you are the admin of a Team or Enterprise account, you can set up SSO with the identity providers (IdP) of your choice. Your users can access RemotePC using the IdP credentials without another password to manage.

Yes, you can configure your own identity provider for SSO along with a set of parameters as described below:

• RemotePC uses SAML2 with the HTTP Redirect binding for RemotePC to IdP and expects the HTTP Post binding for IdP to RemotePC.
• While configuring with SAML, use the following URLs and save the changes.
  
  1. Single sign on URL:
     https://sso.remotepc.com/rpcnew/sso/process
  2. Audience URL (SP Entity ID):
     https://sso.remotepc.com/rpcnew/sso/metadata
• Your identity provider may ask if you want to sign the SAML assertion, the SAML response, or both.

All computers and mobile devices that are currently linked to RemotePC accounts will continue to work as usual. However, if users need to login via an already configured or new device, they'll need the latest versions* of the desktop application and mobile app in order for single sign-on to work. If they haven't signed in to your identity provider, they'll be automatically redirected to the IdP on login.

^*Note: SSO is supported for RemotePC Windows application version 7.6.31 and higher / and Mac application version 7.6.23 and higher / and iOS app version 7.6.26 and higher / and Android app version 4.2.3 and higher.
