Use the Authorization Policies Wizard to Create TS CAPs and TS RAPs
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Terminal Services connection authorization policies (TS CAPs) allow you to specify who can connect to a TS Gateway server. Terminal Services resource authorization policies (TS RAPs) allow you to specify the internal network resources (computers) that remote users can connect to through a TS Gateway server. To allow users to connect to network resources through a TS Gateway server, you must create both a TS CAP and a TS RAP.
This procedure describes how to open the Authorization Policies Wizard, which enables you to quickly create a local TS CAP and a TS RAP. Alternatively, you can create custom TS CAPs and TS RAPs.
Note
You cannot use the Authorization Policies Wizard to specify a centrally stored TS CAP.
For information about how to create custom TS CAPs and TS RAPs, see Manage Terminal Services Connection Authorization Policies (TS CAPs) and Manage Terminal Services Resource Authorization Policies (TS RAPs).
Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, on the TS Gateway server that you plan to configure, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
