Remote Desktop

RDP sessions launched from the same saved connection list.

The thing you need is a Windows box, not a switch.

Remote Desktop: RDP sessions launched from the same saved connection list.

RDP entries sit alongside SSH and SFTP in the same folders. Launching one hands the credential to Windows' own client through the Credential Manager rather than putting a password on a command line where any process on the machine could read it.

What you walk away with

  • Windows hosts in the same connection list as the network kit
  • Passwords handed over through the Credential Manager, not the command line

Where it stops

Stated here rather than discovered on site.

  • This launches the Windows RDP client. It is not an embedded RDP implementation, so the session opens in mstsc rather than in a tab.
