Enabling Remote Desktop Connections
A system administrator can create a custom remote desktop protocol file that tenant administrators and
business group managers use in blueprints to configure RDP settings.
The following high-level overview is the sequence of tasks required to enable machine users to connect
using RDP.
1 A system administrator creates a custom RDP file and places it in the Website\Rdp subdirectory of
the vRealize Automation installation directory. Provide fabric administrators, tenant administrators,
and business group managers with the full pathname for the custom RDP file so that it can be
included in blueprints.
2 (Optional) A fabric administrator creates a build profile using the property set
RemoteDesktopProtocolProperties to compile RDP custom properties and values for tenant
administrators and business group managers to include in their blueprints.
3 A tenant administrator or business group manager adds the RDP custom properties to a blueprint to
configure the RDP settings of machines provisioned from the blueprint.
4 A tenant administrator or business group manager enables the Connect using RDP or SSH option in
a blueprint.
5 A tenant administrator or business group manager entitles users or groups to use the Connect using
RDP or SSH option. See Tenant Administration.
Create a Custom RDP file
A system administrator creates a custom RDP file and provides fabric administrators, tenant
administrators, and business group managers with the full pathname for the file so it can be included in
blueprints.
Note If you are using Internet Explorer with Enhanced Security Configuration enabled, .rdp files cannot
be downloaded.
Prerequisites
Log in to the IaaS Manager Service as an administrator.
Procedure
