# RDP Remote Access with XRDP

Note: this currently only works with RHEL8.

The basic configuration in Hiera is:

```
xrdp::enable: true
```

This allows by default to create new virtual desktop sessions or to connect to a local desktop session which is shared over VNC using port 5900.

Some more details could be ajusted when needed:

To disallow access to a shared desktop do
```
xrdp::shared_desktop::enable: false
```

whereas to disallow virtual desktop sessions there is

```
xrdp::virtual_desktop::enable: false
```

Also you may choose the backend for the virtual sessions, either `libxup.so` (default) or `libvnc.so`:

```
xrdp::virtual_desktop::backend: 'libvnc.so'
```
