I setup an internal RD Web site. If I log directly into the site I get logged in just fine, but when I go to launch a remote application it uses the account I used to launch the browser with and not the account I logged into the site with. I guess if it doesn’t use the account I used to log into the site with, what is the purpose of that initial login? Is there something I’m missing to get this to work properly? I don’t want to have to launch a browser with a different account each time I want to launch apps from RDS.

I’m not sure I’m following what you mean here. Are these RemoteApps? When you click on a RemoteApp it runs that as a separate app.
When you directly login to an RDS server, everything should run as normal, but RemoteApps are a different animal.
Yes, these are RemoteApps. Is there something configuration wise that I’m missing to get the RemoteApp to launch using the credentials you actually logged in with?
Why are you logging into the browser? It sounds like there’s some kind of SSO going on. If you try an incognito / private session does it work as expected?
I’m not logging into the browser but into the RDS Web Access site itself. After logging into the site I get access to the RemoteApps. When launching the apps, it does not launch using the account I just used to log into the site, rather it uses the account I logged into the PC with which is also the account the browser is launched with. Does that make sense?
I think I see what you mean now. So to answer “what is the purpose of that initial login?” - this is to gain access to the portal, which can be external facing. This prevents people that should not be able to access your system from ever seeing anything. This is very similar to a VPN and once connected, this part of the login / credential setup doesn’t really matter anymore.
When you go to open an app it’s looking at your PC credentials and if they are valid for the RemoteApp, should let you run it. If not, it should prompt you to provide credentials. I think you can config it to always ask for credentials, but I’m not positive about that.
Does that make sense?
Gotcha, I was hoping there was a way to have it pass the credentials that you use to login. Makes it difficult to use when you have multiple accounts, the only way to do it would be to launch a browser with the account you want to use without completely logging out of your session.
