Credentials rejected by remote desktop to Windows Azure Web Role

I have created a Cloud project on VS 2012 with .net 4.5. This consists of two web roles, an API and an front end website.

I have followed the instructions here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windowsazure/gg443832.aspx in order to set up remote desktop, and deployed the service.

When I try to connect (I have double and triple checked the credentials), I get told that 'The credentials that were used to connect to did not work. Please enter new credentials.

My web roles are both operational, and I can visit them both in the browser.

I have tried waiting a while after deploying for changes to propagate, but this makes no difference. The only thing I can think of is that I have not done anything with certificates as of yet other than download the appropriate bits in order to deploy from visual studio. I can't find any documentation that says I need to though.

I have also tried out adding various domains to the username but nothing works.

Am I missing something, or is there a chance that there is a bug with azure at the moment?

EDIT: Have now tried deleting the cloud project from visual studio, deleting the cloud service in azure and redeploying with only a single web role. Still seeing the problem.

I fixed this by removing the <Import moduleName="RemoteAccess" /> and <Import moduleName="RemoteForwarder" /> lines from the .csdef then removing all references to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteAccess and Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteForwarder within the .cscfg files. I then was able to deploy and enable remote desktop access from the newer Azure portal.

After adding users to the Azure Active Directory Domain, (e.g. [email protected]), I tried logging in as one of those users, but got "Your credentials did not work." After some trial and error, I found that I had to add the users (e.g. smith) as local users on the VMs. Once I did that, and assigned, passwords, the users could RDP in.

Just checking for completeness,

Did you use the button on the website for your first access?

On the other hand, this is the link that worked for us, it includes how to set up the cert needed too.
