- | ===== Configuring Nova for RDP support ===== | ||
- | |||
- | RDP console configuration is quite straightforward. All you need to do is to add the following configuration settings in your Hyper-V compute node's **nova.conf**: | ||
- | |||
- | [rdp] | ||
- | enabled=True | ||
- | html5_proxy_base_url=http:// | ||
- | | ||
- | Where the url specified in the **html5_proxy_base_url** setting is provided by the FreeRDP HTML5 proxy as detailed in the next section. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Installing and configuring the FreeRDP HTML5 proxy ===== | ||
- | |||
- | The FreeRDP HTML5 proxy can be installed on various Linux distributions (currently Ubuntu >= 12.04, RHEL 6.x / CentOS 6.x and Fedora >= 16) or on Microsoft Windows, including Hyper-V Server. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Ubuntu 12.04 and above ==== | ||
- | |||
- | A shell script is provided to simplify the installation of the application and the dependencies, | ||
- | |||
- | sudo apt-get install -y git | ||
- | git clone https:// | ||
- | cd FreeRDP-WebConnect | ||
- | sudo ./ | ||
- | | ||
- | At this point the proxy, called **wsgate** can be installed by running: | ||
- | |||
- | sudo make install | ||
- | |||
- | ==== wsgate configuration ==== | ||
- | |||
- | The default configuration file is located here: | ||
- | |||
- | / | ||
- | | ||
- | Change the following options to match your environment configuration: | ||
- | |||
- | [global] | ||
- | port = 8000 | ||
- | |||
- | Note: make sure to open the port in your operating system firewall. | ||
- | |||
- | [openstack] | ||
- | authurl = http:// | ||
- | username = admin | ||
- | password = secret | ||
- | tenantname = admin | ||
- | |||
- | [hyperv] | ||
- | # Credentials used to connect to the Hyper-V hosts when accessing | ||
- | # OpenStack instances consoles | ||
- | |||
- | hostusername = Administrator | ||
- | hostpassword = secret | ||
- | |||
- | It is also strongly recommended to encrypt the traffic using HTTPS. Here are the relevant parameters, including a PEM file containing both the certificate and the private key. | ||
- | |||
- | [ssl] | ||
- | port = 4430 | ||
- | certfile = / | ||
- | certpass = verysecret | ||
- | |||
- | HTML, CSS and Javascript files are available at the following location for further customization: | ||

- | |||
- | ==== Running wsgate ==== | ||
- | | ||
- | wsgate can be executed as a demon with the following instruction: | ||
- | |||
- | wsgate -c / | ||
- | |||
- | In case you should prefer to execute wsgate in a shell for debugging purposes, just set: | ||
- | |||
- | [global] | ||
- | daemon = false | ||
