RE: MFA on RDP

2020-05-29 Thread Wesley de Graaf
Hi Nick,

Well at least I do have some solid information to work with, I agree its not a 
good solution. But I guess we will be able to get some workaround for this.

Thanks for the info, threat can be closed.

Kind regards,

Wesley.

Hi,

Sometimes we encounter an issue with the default timeout on the RDP connection 
in the guacamole. As far as we know the default is 15 seconds. But in some 
cases a user has to give an MFA consent on RDP connection and then the 15 
seconds are to short and the connection is closed and reconnect attempt is 
started.

Does anyone have a suggestion for this?


This is something I've looked into in the past - in fact, I have a JIRA issue 
opened for the ability to configure timeouts.  Unfortunately, the way RDP 
support works in Guacamole, leveraging the FreeRDP libraries, it relies on the 
FreeRDP libraries for the ability to set things like timeout, and the FreeRDP 
library does not support that, and they have basically refused to implement it. 
 So, I'm not sure there's a good answer for this today, except to educate users 
that they'd better have MFA ready when they log in so that they can hit that 15 
second window.  And, yes, I know that's not a good answer
