LoginTC authentication window doesn't load

If you are running the LoginTC Windows Logon and RDP Connector on a network where outgoing internet traffic is firewalled off, you may encounter an empty window after entering your username and password on the Windows logon screen or an error:


Timeout loading the authentication methods, close this window to try again.


If you encounter this, you may need to ensure that Windows can reach:


  • Windows Update Certificate Trust List (ctldl.windowsupdate.com)
  • DigiCert Certificate Authority Certificate Revocation List (crl3.digicert.com, crl4.digicert.com)



Windows Update Certificate Trust List


Before contacting our service (cloud.logintc.com), Windows will attempt to download a certificate trust list (CTL) from the following Windows host: ctldl.windowsupdate.com. Configure your firewall to allow access to ctldl.windowsupdate.com on TCP port 80.


You may also manually download and distribute this CTL to your Windows hosts.

DigiCert Certificate Authority Certificate Revocation List


Prior to establishing a TLS connection with our service (cloud.logintc.com), Windows will attempt to download certificate revocation lists (CRLs) from our certificate authority (DigiCert). Ensure that the Windows hosts running the LoginTC Windows Logon and RDP Connector can reach the following hosts on TCP port 80:



DigiCert publishes the following current IP address:


  • 192.229.211.108
  • 192.229.221.95
  • 152.195.38.76
  • 192.16.49.85


LoginTC Managed On-premises and Other Certificate Authority


If you are using LoginTC Managed and use another public or private Certificate Authority. Make sure that the Windows hosts running the LoginTC Windows Logon and RDP Connector can reach the relevant hosts on TCP port 80.
