RDP over VPN

[rdagijones]

Here's my stats:
Amahi 6 on Fedora 14
HDA connect works outside of network.

I want to Remote Desktop to client computers in my network and cannot get it working. I have setup UltraVNC on all computers in the network and can VNC into each one of them from inside the network but I cannot reach them when connected by HDAConnnect. HDAConnect is successful and I am assigned a 10.6.0.x address but VNC does not work. I also assume, from what I am reading on the forum, that, even if I get it working, only one computer can VPN into the network at one time.

Here's my questions:
Can OpenVPN-ALS do Remote Desktop Protocol into not only the server but client computers on my network?
Is anyone having success at this?

This may help.

Your best bet is to check the internet for guidance.

If you find an answer Please Post it HERE, I am looking for the same info.
I was hoping that Amahi would have a web page similar to WHS to view shares and access RDP from the web.

Thanks

It's been a long time coming but I did find the information to get RDP over OpenVPN ALS working.

First check out this site

Start at Step 2. You will find the RDP extension download link right on the page. You leave it as a .zip file and upload the extension. (Just a little hint.) Under step 3, I put in the name for the client computer to which I wanted to connect and then put the local ip address for that client under "hostname" (e.g. 192.168.1.x or whatever it is in your network).

Before connecting to the RDP from a remote pc, you will need to add an exception to the remote pc's Java's URL Exception List to get passed the errors. Here is how in windows:

• Steps to Add URLs to the Exception Site list
  Go to the Java Control Panel (On Windows Click Start and then Configure Java)
  Click on the Security tab
  Click on the Edit Site List button
  Click Add in the Exception Site List window
  
  Add url to Exception Site list
  Click in the empty field under the Location field to enter the URL

The url that I added was my dns domain (whatever.yourhda.com)

That's it. Should I add this to the wiki?

System Specs:
Amahi 7
Fedora 19

Thanks for the documentation on this functionality. Yes please most definitely add this to the wiki.

The more we can capture there, the better it will be for other users. That is why I built the Troubleshooting page in the wiki. Link to common problems and admin tasks all in one place for users.
https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Troubleshooting

Once you get a page added with the guidance, let me know and I can add it to that area. It is a protected page that only a few of us have rights to update for good reason.

Where would you suggest would be the best place to put this information on the wiki? I could put it under Adito or if you could make a new heading for Remote Desktop I would put it there. Just want the information to be easy to find for users.

[bigfoot65]

Is it used from Adito? If so, then would make sense to put it there. Add it to the bottom and I can move it around if needed.
