RDP connection through the gateway server using Linux application Remmina
Without having to connect via VPN, you can set up a remote desktop (RDP) connection from your Linux client to RHRK servers through the gateway server rdsgate.uni-kl.de.
Rdsgate.uni-kl.de can be used to establish a connection to the following servers:
- Linux terminal serverlinda.rhrk.uni-kl.de and lindb.rhrk.uni-kl.de
- Windows terminal serverts.uni-kl.de
- HPC login node elwe1.rhrk.uni-kl.de ... elwe4.rhrk.uni-kl.de
Configuration of Remmina to establish an RDP connection
Under "Remote Desktop Preference" select a Name you want to use to save the configuration file.
In the Basic tab, fill in the Server, for instance linda.rhrk.uni-kl.de. At Username put in your RHRK username without @rhrk.uni-kl.de and then your RHRK password.
Advanced Settings (Gateway server configuration)
Select the tab "Advanced".
You need to insert the following information:
• Remote Desktop Gateway server: rdsgate.uni-kl.de
• Remote Desktop Gateway username: Your RHRK accountname followed by @uni-kl.de
• Remote Desktop Gateway password: Your RHRK password

Now you are ready to complete the configuration. Select "Save and Connect" to save your settings and establish an RDP connection through the gateway server.
