# Remote Desktop sign-in with Windows Hello for Business
You can use Windows Hello for Business to sign in to a remote desktop session, using the redirected smart card capabilities of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). This is possible by deplyoing a certificate to the user's device, which is then used as the supplied credential when establishing the RDP connection to another Windows device.

This article describes three certificate deployment approaches, where authentication certificates are deployed to the Windows Hello for Business container:

> * A PKI infrastructure based on AD CS or third-party
> * Windows Hello for Business deployed to the clients
> * If you plan to support Microsoft Entra joined devices, the domain controllers must have a certificate, which serves as a *root of trust* for the clients. The certificate ensures that clients don't communicate with rogue domain controllers

## Create a certificate template
The process of creating a certificate template is applicable to scenarios where you use an on-premises Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) infrastrusture.\
The process of creating a certificate template is applicable to scenarios where you use an on-premises Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) infrastructure.\
You must first create a certificate template, and then deploy certificates based on that template to the Windows Hello for Business container.
The certificate template configuration is different depending on whether you deploy certificates using Microsoft Intune or an AD CS enrollment policy. Select the option that best suits your needs.

## User experience
Once users obtain their certificate, they can RDP to any Windows devices in the same Active Directory forest as the users' Active Directory account by opening the Remote Desktop Client (`mstsc.exe`). When connecting to the remote host, they are prompted to use Windows Hello for Business to authenticate.

## Compatibility
While users appreciate the convenience of biometrics, and administrators value the security, you may experience compatibility issues with applications and Windows Hello for Business certificates. In such scenarios, you can deploy a policy setting to revert to the previous behavior for the users needing it.

### Use Windows Hello for Business certificates as smart card certificates
If you enable this policy setting, applications use Windows Hello for Business certificates as smart card certificates. Biometric factors are unavailable when a user is asked to authorize the use of the certificate's private key. This policy setting is designed to allow compatibility with applications that rely exclusively on smart card certificates.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, applications don't use Windows Hello for Business certificates as smart card certificates, and biometric factors are available when a user is asked to authorize the use of the certificate's private key.
