David,

For LDAP authenticated accounts, VCL does not store the user's password.  This 
is by design for privacy and security reasons.

An option I have heard about is to write a small windows utility application 
that either handles .rdp files or rdp:// URLs.  The utility is then installed 
and registered to handle the desired type.  When a user then clicks the Get 
RDP File button, the utility reads the (VCL generated) password from the data, 
stores it in the windows credential store, and runs Remote Desktop Connection, 
which can then get the credentials from the store and automatically log the 
user in to the session.  If the utility is written to handle rdp:// URLs, then 
the VCL code would need to be modified to deliver something like 
"rdp://username@password:hostname?extra=parametersHere" when the Get RDP File 
button is clicked.

I'm not a windows coder.  So, writing one of these utilities is not something 
I've tried to do.
