Need an RDP client compatible with AVD
Need an RDP client compatible with AVD
I work with a client that migrated their infrastructure to Microsoft. In order to connect to their Linux Server, I now have to Remote Desktop to their Azure Virtual Desktop thing. I'm not pleased but it's out of my control.
I tried remmina freerdp but doesn't seem to support that Azure thing, there doesn't seem to be an option to add the workspace.
Any recommendations or do I have to setup a virtual machine just for this? :/ Cheers
I specialize in Azure admin.
Sounds like this might be by design to ensure secure connections.
Using AVD as a bastion replacement.
Only option with similar security would be VPN into the vnet and just ssh normally.
- AVD as a jumpbox
- Bastion (costly solution)
- VPN then SSH/RDP
@pathief just use the webclient. By far the easiest option
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/users/connect-webFreerdp 3.x has this support. I have been using it half a year back for this very purpose. Ask for help on #FreeRDP:matrix.org they are very helpful
My example:
xfreerdp "$RDPW_FILE" /u:"$RDP_USERNAME" /p:"$RDP_PASSWORD" /sec:nla /cert:ignore +clipboard /multimon /monitors:0 /gateway:type:arm /network:auto /gfx:AVC444 /rfx /dynamic-resolution
Keep in mind that I was using for accessing Windows machine... Some flags might need to be a bit different
This worked perfectly, thank you so much. Now let's check if I can add some port forwarding through this...
In arch it's
xfreerdp3, just in case anyone needs it.
Can you use it though a web browser?
I can use it, just not very efficiently.
Ideally, I can set port forwards/tunnels so that I can then work from my machine's terminal.
