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
I wasn’t able to set up a reverse tunnel, because I’m also under a corporate VPN :( I was able to get xfreerdp to work, though! Maybe I can add some port-forward + tunnels and be free :P
Freerdp 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
Here’s how I got mine:
-
Go to the web version: https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html
- You should have a list of machines, in my case I only have one
-
In the top right corner, click on the settings icon (cog)
-
Under “Resources Launch Method”, select the `Download the rdp file" radio option
-
Click whatever machine you want to access
-
The file started to download
Can you use it though a web browser?
@pathief just use the webclient. By far the easiest option
