Connecting to a remote environment using the RDP application

In the RDP application, you can connect to remote desktops and virtual applications via RDP.

To connect to a remote desktop in the RDP application:

1. Turn on Kaspersky Thin Client.
2. On the Kaspersky Thin Client desktop, click the RDP button.
3. In the window that opens, specify the connection settings:
   1. In the Server field, specify the IP address or name of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Broker server.

      Kaspersky Thin Client saves the last entered server address with which a connection was successfully established, so you do not need to enter it again when reconnecting.

   2. In the User name field, enter the local or domain user name. You can specify the domain user name in Domain\User name format or in User name format.

      Kaspersky Thin Client saves the last entered user name that successfully connected to the server, so you do not need to enter it again when reconnecting.

   3. In the Password field, enter the user password.

      If you have not activated the automatic connection function, the password is not saved and you must enter it again the next time you connect.

4. To configure settings for connecting to a remote desktop, click Settings in the left part of the window.
5. Press Enter or click Connect.

   If you are connecting to a remote environment for the first time in the Kaspersky Thin Client interface and the thin client is in one of the following states:

   • not connected to Kaspersky Security Center
   • not added to the administration group

     A set of devices managed by Kaspersky Security Center and grouped by function. Devices are grouped for easy management as a whole. A group may include other groups. For each device added to the group, you can create group policies and group tasks that will apply to all devices in the group.

   • no certificates for connecting to the remote environment have been added for the administration group to which the thin client belongs

   then you will see a window prompting you to add a certificate to connect to the remote environment.

   Check the certificate settings and click the Add certificate button. The certificate will be added to the system certificate store of Kaspersky Thin Client and will be used for subsequent connections.

6. If you specified the Remote Desktop Connection Broker collection ID when configuring a remote desktop connection and multiple desktops are available to you, in the remote desktop selection window that opens, click the button with the name of the desktop to which you want to connect.

   A remote desktop window opens, and a remote session starts.

To connect to a virtual application in RDP application:

1. Turn on Kaspersky Thin Client.
2. On the Kaspersky Thin Client desktop, click the RDP button.
3. In the window that opens, specify the connection settings:
   1. In the Server field, specify the IP address or name of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Broker server.

      Kaspersky Thin Client saves the last entered server address with which a connection was successfully established, so you do not need to enter it again when reconnecting.

   2. In the User name field, enter the local or domain user name. You can specify the domain user name in Domain\User name format or in User name format.

      Kaspersky Thin Client saves the last entered user name that successfully connected to the server, so you do not need to enter it again when reconnecting.

      If you have not activated the automatic connection function, the password is not saved and you must enter it again the next time you connect.

6. In the Application alias field, specify the alias of the virtual application that you want to open.

   Kaspersky Thin Client saves the alias that you entered last, so you do not need to enter it again when reconnecting.
