    Persistence Mode

    Session Broker

    The LoadMaster is able to redirect a user to an existing (disconnected) session based on the persistence token. If you performed a deployment without an RD Connection Broker (role-based deployment), the persistence token is the pre-populated username sent by the client. Also, the pre-populated username relies on users to always pre-populate the username field and is limited to a total of eight characters including the domain name.
    Persistence Timeout 1 Hour

    Scheduling Method

    least connection

    To ensure that user sessions are equally spread over the RD Session Host servers, select the option Least Connection, or if you have configured a Weight on the Real Servers, set it to Weighted Least Connection.
