RDP profiles can go through a Remote Desktop Gateway (MS-TSGU over an
HTTPS WebSocket) with its own username and password, stored like other
credentials (rdp-gateway-password). The gateway stream is bridged to a
loopback socket so the blocking RDP client uses it like any transport.
IronRDP's gateway crate (0.0.1) is vendored with fixes: it used
ironrdp-tls, which accepts any certificate, before sending Basic
credentials — the gateway is now verified against the web PKI; its
asserts on gateway-supplied lengths are errors instead of panics; and
the server port is passed through. Checked against a self-signed
openssl s_server: the connection is refused ('invalid peer certificate')
before any request or credential is sent. Not tested against a real
gateway; Basic-auth gateways only (no NTLM).
IronRDP MS-TSGU
Terminal Services Gateway Server Protocol implementation for IronRDP.
This crate
- implements an MVP state needed to connect through Microsoft RD Gateway,
- only supports the HTTPS protocol with WebSocket (and not the legacy HTTP, HTTP-RPC or UDP protocols),
- does not implement reconnection/reauthentication, and
- only supports basic auth.
