General Settings and Introduction

This guide was created and tested on Ubuntu 19.10 using the Remmina package.

Other RDP packages exist for Ubuntu and other distros, if you are not using Remmina the settings below can help set up the client you are using. However, the client must support RDP gateways. 

• Remote Desktop Gateway: rdg.austin.utexas.edu

• Username: eid or austin\eid (if the client does not have a field for domain)

• Password: eid password

• Domain: austin
