Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required. Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser. Latest release: 1.4.0 (released on 2022-01-01 21:20:13 -0800)
The Remote Desktop Gateway (RDG) is used to access your on-campus Windows computer from another remote computer. It provides additional security for our connections with university computing resources. Note: It is not recommended that you transfer files between the computers connected with RDG. No large file transfers or playing of video content on the destination machine should be attempted. Small files such as documents and spreadsheets are acceptable. For larger transfers, use Office 365's OneDrive cloud storage (instructions here), or usf.box.com. Step 1: Requirements and SetupDestination Computer: The computer you are connecting to must be running Windows 7 or above; you cannot use RDG to connect to a Mac, though you can connect from a Mac. You will need to know the computer's name (ends in forest.usf.edu), or its IP address. You can find instructions in our knowledgebase, here. Step 2: ConnectingInitiating Computer: You can use most modern web browsers to access the Gateway (Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft's). Just make sure your browser is the most recent version. If you are connecting from Windows, click here to expand instructions.
1. Open your browser and navigate to http://usfweb.usf.edu/remote, and login. Here you can set desired resolution and other options. 2. Enter the computer name or IP address you wish to connect to. 3. Click Find Computer. RDG will go through a series of checks and display the results to you, making sure the computer is found, is awake and that your connection is solid. 4. Click Connect. RDG will download a 'USFRemoteAccess.rdp' file. 5. Execute this file. 6. You will now be prompted by your destination computer to log in with your credentials. Remember to add 'forest\' as your domain if needed. 7. If you are using it, you will be prompted for dual-factor authentication as usual. Once you have completed this process, you will have a window to your destination computer and may use it as if you were sitting in front of it. When you are finished you can simply log out of your remote computer and the window will close. For more help, you may contact the Helpdesk, or review more detailed instructions in our knowledgebase, here. If you are connecting from a Mac, you can view detailed instructions in our knowledgebase, here. If you are connecting from an iPad, you can view detailed instructions in our knowledgebase, here.
PSM can be configured to work with the Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway. All information that is transferred between the user and the PSM proxy machine is encrypted and protected by the HTTPS protocol. This enables secure cross-network and remote access. Alternatively, you can configure PSM to work with an HTML5 gateway which tunnels the session between the end user and the PSM proxy machine using a secure WebSocket protocol. For details about configuring the PSM to work with HTML5, refer to Secure Access with an HTML5 Gateway. OverviewConnecting through RD Gateway requires additional authentication by the end user to the RD Gateway itself. If the connection is made through the PVWA portal, it is possible to enable single sign-on so users automatically authenticate to the RD Gateway. However, this type of connection is supported only when connecting with ActiveX and does not support RDP files, the RemoteApp user experience, or connections directly from users’ desktops. Connect with an RDP client applicationWhen the connection is made directly from the users' desktop, the RDP client application can be configured to use the RD Gateway. For more information refer to the documentation of the RDP client application you are using. Connect using the PVWA portalWhen the connection is made through the PVWA portal, you will need to configure access through the RD Gateway. Before configuration
For more information, refer to Microsoft documentation.
For more information on how to configure the RD Gateway, refer to Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway documentation. PSM connections via PVWA through RD Gateway without Single Sign-OnConfiguring PSM connection through RD Gateway without SSO is done in the connection component level. When a connection using this connection component is established, the user will be prompted to enter credentials to authenticate to the RD Gateway. Once this authentication is completed successfully, the user will be automatically authenticated to the remote machine. Configure a connection component to use RD gateway

PSM connections via PVWA through RD Gateway with Single Sign-OnWhen enabling single sign-on, users are automatically authenticated to the RD Gateway and the remote machine. However, this type of connection is supported only when connecting with ActiveX. In addition, RDP files, the RemoteApp user experience, or connections directly from users’ desktops are not supported.
