For this we will be setting up VNC server and XRDP which allow you to use windows remote desktop terminal services client to connect to your linux desktop as you would any windows machine with centralized authentication using Active directory.<\/p>\n
XRDP is a wonderful Remote Desktop protocol application that allows you to RDP to your servers\/workstations from any Windows machine, MAC running an RDP app or even Linux using an RDP app such as\u00a0Remmina<\/a>. Now since there was no xrdp package in the opensuse repository it was a bit of dirty install to get it all working.<\/p>\n 1. First you will need to install VNC Server using yast2<\/p>\n Should like below<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n New ‘X’ desktop is bvanhm01:1<\/p>\n Starting applications specified in \/root\/.vnc\/xstartup<\/p>\n Log file is \/root\/.vnc\/nicktailor.1:1.log<\/p>\n Now we want to install xrdp. Since Opensuse doesn\u2019t come with a built in repository or rpm that has xrdp lalready compiled to use. We will have to make \u00a0this \u00a0setup just a little dirty and compile our own xrdp and then configure it to work the VNC. Im not 100% sure if there is one, however when I looked for one I didn\u2019t see one so I chose this route which worked out. However it is a bit of a dirty setup<\/p>\n First we need to download xrdp source<\/p>\n 2. Once the application is installed you will need to add the library files so the system can read it<\/p>\n [globals] [xrdp1] For the next portion please ensure you opensuse is already added to AD and authenticating against AD. If not please refer to my earlier blog post on how to add opensuse to Active Directory<\/strong>. If you did everything correctly your pam.d authentication will be using pam_winbind to authenticate against AD and the following includes will use that authentication process for xrdp to get to VNC<\/strong><\/p>\n #%PAM-1.0 ISSUES YOU CAN RUN INTO WITH GNOME<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 2015-08-27T14:15:44.341964-07:00 nicktailor01 gnome-session[10533]: ShellUserVerifier<._userVerifierGot@\/usr\/share\/gnome- 2015-08-27T14:15:44.342139-07:00 nicktailor01 gnome-session[10533]: wrapper@\/usr\/share\/gjs-1.0\/lang.js:213 2015-08-27T14:15:44.721381-07:00 nicktailor01 gnome-session[10533]: ShellUserVerifier<._userVerifierGot@\/usr\/share\/gnome- 2015-08-27T14:15:45.100944-07:00 nicktailor01 gnome-session[10533]: (gnome-shell:10609): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Failed to obtain user Now reboot your machine and you should be able to remote desktop via rdp to your linux machine with no issues from opensusu.
