1. A client-based method for connecting a client device to a remote desktop protocol (RDP) server through a zero trust cloud environment, comprising:
receiving a request based on a user account to connect to a zero trust cloud environment;
verifying an identity of the user account, the user account utilized by a client device;
initiating a first RDP session between the client device and a frontend RDP server of the zero trust cloud environment, wherein the frontend RDP server is configured to direct data received from the client device to a virtual workload;
capturing through the virtual workload login credentials from the client device, wherein the login credentials are for a target server deployed in a secure network environment;
authenticating the captured login credentials with the target server; and
in response to determining that the captured login information is authenticated by the target server, sending the client device a reconnect instruction, which when executed by the client device configures the client device to reconnect to the frontend RDP server.
