One of our users reported that he can’t login to the RDWeb access and throwing the Application.Runtime Error after entering the login page as the image below:

How to resolve

Check if the user’s password has special character “<“

This is recommended solution. After confirming with the end-user, I found they change their password with the special character “<“ on the password.  The result of the password change resolved the error when accessing RDWeb.

Modifying your RDWeb login.aspx

Please make a backup copy before making any changes.

By default login.aspx is located under C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\Pages\en-US on a US English install. On the page, change the validateRequest to false.

<% @Page Language="C#" Debug="true" validateRequest="false" %>
