Rdsgate.uni-kl.de can be used to establish a connection to the following servers:

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 linux-ts1.rptu.de. At Username put in your RPTU accountname without @rptu.de and then your RPTU 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  RPTU accountname followed by @uni-kl.de
• Remote Desktop Gateway password: Your RPTU password

Important notice: If you want Remmina to save your passwords, Remmina must be protected by a master password. You may find it under Preferences -> Security -> Use a master password.
 

Save and Connect

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.
Configuration is saved with the name you chose and can be used for future connections.
