I work with a client that migrated their infrastructure to Microsoft. In order to connect to their Linux Server, I now have to Remote Desktop to their Azure Virtual Desktop thing. I’m not pleased but it’s out of my control.

I tried remmina freerdp but doesn’t seem to support that Azure thing, there doesn’t seem to be an option to add the workspace.

Any recommendations or do I have to setup a virtual machine just for this? :/ Cheers

    Freerdp 3.x has this support. I have been using it half a year back for this very purpose. Ask for help on #FreeRDP:matrix.org they are very helpful

      My example:

      xfreerdp “$RDPW_FILE” /u:“$RDP_USERNAME” /p:“$RDP_PASSWORD” /sec:nla /cert:ignore +clipboard /multimon /monitors:0 /gateway:type:arm /network:auto /gfx:AVC444 /rfx /dynamic-resolution

      Keep in mind that I was using for accessing Windows machine… Some flags might need to be a bit different

        This worked perfectly, thank you so much. Now let’s check if I can add some port forwarding through this…

        In arch it’s xfreerdp3, just in case anyone needs it.

          Here’s how I got mine:

          1. Go to the web version: https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html

            • You should have a list of machines, in my case I only have one

          2. In the top right corner, click on the settings icon (cog)

          3. Under “Resources Launch Method”, select the `Download the rdp file" radio option

          4. Click whatever machine you want to access

          5. The file started to download

            Lovely. Thanks! Now to figure out how to redirect that YubiKey USB device, so I could use Passkey auth…
