Windows do not allow saving password in rdp files. Even if I select "Allow me to save credentials" while connection via Remote Desktop Connection.
After searching a lot, I found that it requires modifying entry "Do not allow passwords to be saved" to "Disabled" in Group Policy under Computer Configuration -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Connection Client.
However, after doing so it is still not allowing me to save password. Let me know if there's some other setting that needs to be done.
By default, Windows allows users to save their passwords for RDP connections. To do it, a user must enter the name of the RDP computer, the username and check the box “Allow me to save credentials” in the RDP client window.
Select the Remote Desktop Connection Client item under Remote Desktop Services. In the Setting list on the right, double-click on the Do not allow passwords to be saved setting.
These credentials are stored in an encrypted form in the Credential Manager of Windows by using the Data Protection API.
rdp is stored for each user as a hidden file in the user's Documents folder. User created . rdp files are saved by default in the user's Documents folder but can be saved anywhere.
