I'm trying to station restrict one of a few apps on a Terminal Server. You can do this from inside 2x and it works great but you can still RDP directly to the server and log in. I can't forbid RDP cause that'll break 2x. I can't use SecureRDP because I have other apps on this server that I don't want IP restricted. Any ideas on how to restrict this? On a slightly related topic is there any way to forbid saving passwords on the 2x client?
maybe change listener port? I realize that this is security through obscurity but perhaps I could change the TS listening port from 3389. That way when people use mstsc it will fail but if they use the 2x client it'll work. I tried this but I can't get it to work. I have one server acting as the gateway and a separate server as the Term server. If I change the port on the term server and Check Agent under Servers in Farm then it correctly says the new port. But clients won't connect. I just get a "client could not access the remote application" error. Terminal services still work from mstsc if you add the port to the computer name.
The latest 2x client, has a save password option. Make sure you a have updated the port number from the console too, Connection settings, RDP Port. Nixu
yeah, missed the listener port Yeah, I didn't change the RDP port on the server properties. I assumed that since the Check Agent dialog knew what RDP port was being used that all was well. I know I can save the password. I want to forbid saving of the password so that users have to enter it every time. I want to take away the save password check boxes.
