I am trying to use Remote Desktop connection on Linux. After some research, it seems that xfreerdp can do what I need. The basic usage example provided by that tool is:

xfreerdp /u:CONTOSO\\JohnDoe /p:Pwd123! /v:rdp.contoso.com

Some comments:

  • /u corresponds to User name: in picture 1
  • /v corresponds to Server name: in picture 2

I also need to enter a Computer name: (see picture 1). How could xfreerdp take this into account?

I am ok with using another tool other than xfreerdp if it can accomplish this as well.

  • /v: corresponds to Computer on Pic1. Pic2 is about RD Gateway which is another story, you hardly need it unless you know you do – Tagwint Jul 06 '18 at 18:07
  • Could you provide a command I can use that takes into account the "Computer:", "User name:" and "Server name:" fields shown the pictures? @Tagwint – nathanesau Jul 06 '18 at 19:02
  • Here it is `xfreerdp +clipboard /size:1920x1145 /u:'[email protected]' /p:'SuperSecurePwd!' /v:rdp.fun.com -grab-keyboard` No need of specifiyn Server name in my case. Are you sure you need it in yours? – Tagwint Jul 09 '18 at 08:15

This is how you use a remote desktop gateway but as of writing I think there may be a problem with sslv3 support in the version I used which is FreeRDP version 1.1.0-beta1 (git n/a)

xfreerdp /g:<RD gateway ip or hostname> /gu:<RDGatewayUser> /gd:<RDGatewayDomain> /gp:<RDGatewayPassword> /v:<computer>
connected to 10.11.12.13:443
connected to 10.11.12.13:443
SSL_connect: Failure in SSL library (protocol error?)
SSL_connect: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
Error: protocol security negotiation or connection failure
