Once it is installed, lets start the xrdp
service.
# systemctl start
xrdp.service
xrdp will listen on 3389, lets confirm this by issuing
following command.
# netstat -antup
| grep xrdp
tcp 0
0 0.0.0.0:3389
0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN
1508/xrdp
tcp 0
0 127.0.0.1:3350
0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN
1507/xrdp-sesman
By default, services wont auto start after system reboot.
Issue the following command to enable the service at system start
up.
# systemctl enable
xrdp.service
lets start firewall enabled
# systemctl start
firewalld
By default, firewall wont auto start after system reboot.
Issue the following command to enable the firewall at system start
up.
# systemctl enable
firewalld
Next is to create iptables rule to allow rdp connection from
the external machines, following command will add the exception for
rdp port (3389).
# firewall-cmd --permanent
--zone=public --add-port=3389/tcp
# firewall-cmd --reload
Configure SELinux
# chcon --type=bin_t /usr/sbin/xrdp
# chcon --type=bin_t /usr/sbin/xrdp-sesman
Test:
Now take rdp from any windows machine using Remote Desktop
Connection, enter ip address of Linux server in computer field and
click on connect.
