12 Connecting via RDP #
If you installed SLES for SAP with the RDP option activated or if you installed
from a KIWI NG image, RDP is enabled on the machine via the service
xrdp
. Alternatively, you can enable
RDP later as described at the end of this section.
You can connect using any software that supports RDP, such as:
Linux: Vinagre (available in SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop/SLE WE and openSUSE) or Remmina (available in openSUSE)
Windows: Remote Desktop Connection
Make sure to set up the connection with the following parameters:
Port: 3389
Color depth: 16-bit or 24-bit only
If you have not set up an RDP connection during the installation, you can also do so later using the following instructions.
First, create the necessary exception for your firewall, opening port TCP 3389 in all relevant zones. For example, if your internal network uses the
internal
zone, use the following command:#
firewall-cmd
--zone=internal --add-port=3389/tcpThis is a temporary assignment for testing the new setting. If you need to change more than one zone, change and test each zone one at a time.
When you are satisfied that new configuration is correct, make it permanent:
#
firewall-cmd
--runtime-to-permanent#
firewall-cmd
--reload
