rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
rdesktop is an open source client for Microsoft's RDP protocol. It is
|
|
known to work with Windows versions ranging from NT 4 Terminal Server
|
|
to Windows 2012r2 RDS. rdesktop currently implements the RDP version 4
|
|
and 5 protocols.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
rdesktop uses a GNU-style build procedure. Typically all that is necessary
|
|
to install rdesktop is the following::
|
|
|
|
% ./configure
|
|
% make
|
|
% make install
|
|
|
|
The default is to install under /usr/local. This can be changed by adding
|
|
--prefix=directory to the configure line.
|
|
|
|
Note for users building from source
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
If you have retreived a snapshot of rdesktop source, you will first
|
|
need to run ./bootstrap in order to generate the build infrastructure.
|
|
This is not necessary for release versions of rdesktop.
|
|
|
|
Invocation
|
|
----------
|
|
Simply run::
|
|
|
|
% rdesktop server
|
|
|
|
where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. (If you receive
|
|
"Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
|
|
Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.)
|
|
|
|
You can also specify a number of options on the command line. These are listed
|
|
in the rdesktop manual page (run "man rdesktop").
|

|
Smart-card support notes
|
|
------------------------
|
|
The smart-card support module uses PCSC-lite. You should use PCSC-lite 1.2.9 or
|
|
later.
|
|
|
|
To enable smart-card support in the rdesktop just run "./configure" with the
|
|
"--enable-smartcard" option. Also you can enable smart-card debug with
|
|
additional "--with-debug-smartcard" option.
