== Remote Desktop (RDP) Through OpenVPN ALS (Adito) ==
Download the RDP extension [http://lars.werner.no/adito-application-advancednativerdpwin32.zip here] Leave it as a .zip file to upload the extension.
=== Credit Due ===
Nearly all of these instructions are taken from http://lars.werner.no/?p=640 and are the work of Lars Werner. His website has images as well and may be a better source of instruction. These notes are included here so that this hard-to-come-by information is not lost. If you go there, start on "Step 2."
=== Installing the RDP extension ===
The Adito client can publish software to download and execute.
Typical portable software is preferred, since clients does not always have registry write access.
The RDP Extension uses the RDPsso.exe command from Microsoft and is based on the old less secure RDP. But you are connecting through a SSL encrypted tunnel, so it is considered “safe”.
If you are not in managementconsole press the changebutton now (Third icon from the left located in the upper right of the Adito screen. If it says "Management Console" when you mouse over it, you need to click it to change into Management mode.)
* Press “Extensions” in the “Configuration” tab (Left side menu)
* Then press the “Upload Extension”. (Upper Right menu)
* Press the Browse-button and select the adito-application-advancednativerdpwin32.zip file, press “Upload”
The upload may take some time. Be patient.
You should now have the Microsoft RDP client installed
=== Creating an Application ===
* Select “Application” under the Resources section of the Left Menu.
* Press the “Create Application shortcut” (Upper Right corner)
* <u>Step 1: Application Extension.</u> Select the RDP application. Press "Next."
* <u>Step 2: Application Details.</u> Input the name for the client computer to which I wanted to connect and give it a short description.
* <u>Step 3: Application Options.</u> Input the local ip address for that client under "hostname" (e.g. 192.168.1.x or whatever it is in your network) and leave everything else the same. The default RDP port is 3389 and is usally left alone.
::(Note: You aren’t restricted to local-ips or -hosts here, you can also use internet hosts. Some people use the Adito server as the only entrypoint on their firewall)
* Press next
* <u>Step 4: Application Shortcut Policy Selection.</u> Click on "Everyone" in the left list and then click on the "Add" button. This gives permission to use the application to all users in the Everyone group.
* Press next and look over the summary, then press Finish.
You have now published an app called “Adito server” to the group “Everyone”.
That means that every user that you have, will gain access to this app.
You can create as many applications as you need, just repeat the wizard
=== Troubleshooting: ===
* "This Connection is Untrusted" in FireFox or "There is a problem with this website's security certificate." in Internet Explorer, there is no cause for alarm. Follow the guidance [http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Browser_Tip here].
