Configuring Microsoft Remote Desktop Services
Microsoft Remote Desktop application allows you to access and manage the data and resources of a remote device using
an internet connection. ThinOS supports RC4_HMAC_MD5 for RDP connections to compliment with AES128_HMAC_SHA1 or
AES256_HMAC_SHA1.
About this task
This section describes how to configure the Microsoft Remote Desktop Services on your thin client.
Steps
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Remote Connections.
The Remote Connections dialog box is displayed.
2. In the Broker Setup tab, select Microsoft Remote Desktop Service from the Select Broker Type drop-down list, and
do the following:
Broker ServerEnter the IP address, hostname, or FQDN of the Broker Server.
Auto Connect ListEnter the name of the desktops that you want to launch automatically after logging in to the
respective broker. More than one desktop can be entered. Each desktop name is separated by semi-colon, and is
case-sensitive.
3. Click OK to save your settings.
Enable Terminal Services Gateway
Terminal Services Gateway (TS Gateway) provides a secure access to a remote desktop. In a TS Gateway II or III connection,
the setup uses a two half-duplex communication between the Terminal Server (TS) Gateway server and the thin client. In the
WebSocket connection, the session connection setup uses a duplex communication between TS Gateway and thin client. TS
Gateway II and TS Gateway III are downward compatible with Windows Server 2016, that means, if the WebSocket connection
fails or the TS Gateway server or thin client version does not support WebSocket, then TS Gateway II or TS Gateway III is used.
Steps
1. Log in to Wyse Management Suite or open the Admin Policy Tool on ThinOS.
2. In the Advanced tab, expand Session Settings, and click RDP and WVD Session Settings.
3. Click the Enable Remote Desktop Services Gateway toggle switch to enable TS Gateway for your connection.
4. Click Save & Publish.
5. Log in to the RDS or WVD Broker agent.
6. Launch the RDS or WVD session.
TS Gateway connection is established.
