I initially tried using standard Remote Desktop clients like Remmina and KRDC, but none of them could successfully connect.</p> <p>The core roadblock has always been that Linux clients couldn&rsquo;t handle the &ldquo;Web Account Authentication&rdquo; flow (enablerdsaadauth) that Microsoft Entra ID uses to trigger the MFA prompt.</p> <p>After some troubleshooting, I realized the main issue was NLA (Network Level Authentication). NLA is enabled by default on Azure VMs, and the Linux clients I was testing either didn&rsquo;t support it or only offered partial support.</p>
