From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Need an RDP client compatible with AVD (lemmy.world)

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

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

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.

@pathief just use the webclient. By far the easiest option

Can you use it though a web browser?

[–] pathief@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.
