Need an RDP client compatible with AVD

pathief@lemmy.world to Linux@lemmy.ml – 28 points –

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

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.

Where'd you get the .rdp file? I can't find a way to get a working version of mine.

Here's how I got mine:

  1. 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

  2. In the top right corner, click on the settings icon (cog)

  3. Under "Resources Launch Method", select the `Download the rdp file" radio option

  4. Click whatever machine you want to access

  5. The file started to download

Lovely. Thanks! Now to figure out how to redirect that YubiKey USB device, so I could use Passkey auth...
