My employer switched from VPN and RDP to using what our admin calls "RDP over HTTPS". Since that switch I find myself unable to connect to the "new" RDP server.
I think the progress is as follows:
- A RDP gateway-server is connected via TLS
- the requested sever (different from the gateway-server) is then connected through the TLS connection.
In Windows mstsc-settings
the server name is the "internal network name" of the machine I wish to connect to. And on the last tab (in German it is called "leistung" - could be "activity"), I go to the "connection from everywhere" settings and set the gateway-server under "gateway-server".
Now: Is there any way to use this scenario under Linux (apart from a virtual machine running Windows)?
I am interested in
- free ideas (e.g. is it possible to create a TLS tunnel and connect through that using
freerdp
/rdesktop
?) - non-free ideas. As long as they work I'll worry about the costs later.
EDIT (2013-09-27):
As of now the former accepted answer (iTap) is no longer available (see comments there) but by now FreeRDP is the correct answer (for now FreeRDP has TS Gateway Support in it's master/stable-1.1-branch) - so I switched the accepted answer.
