RDP Device Properties

there are properties that can be configured at the “device” level to set device based configurations navigate to device management > device inventory right click the desired device and select the show properties option set the related properties property definition remotedesktop color depth this parameter is optional the color depth to request, in bits per pixel if specified, its value must be either 8, 16, or 24 regardless of what value is chosen, if a particular update uses less than 256 colors, the kron pam remote desktop client will always send that update as a 256 color png remotedesktop disable audio audio is enabled by default in both the client and in “libguac client rdp” if you are concerned about bandwidth usage, or if the audio is causing problems, you can explicitly disable audio by setting this parameter as "true" remotedesktop domain this parameter is optional the domain to use when attempting authentication, if any remotedesktop dpi this parameter is optional the desired effective resolution of the client display, in dpi if this value is not specified, the resolution and size of the client display will be used together to determine, heuristically, an appropriate resolution for the rdp session remotedesktop enable audio input if set to "true", audio input support (microphone) will be enabled, leveraging the standard "audio input" channel of rdp by default, audio input support within rdp is disabled remotedesktop enable drive file transfer is disabled by default, but if enabled, rdp users can transfer files to and from a virtual drive which persists on the kron pam server enable file transfer support by setting this parameter as "true" remotedesktop enable printing printing is disabled by default, but if enabled, rdp users can print to a virtual printer that sends a pdf to the kron pam remote desktop client enable printing by setting this parameter as "true" remotedesktop height this parameter is optional the height of the display to request, in pixels if this value is not specified, the display height of the connecting client will be used remotedesktop ignore cert if set as "true", the certificate returned by the server will be ignored, even if that certificate cannot be validated this is useful if you universally trust the server, and your connection to it, and know that the server's certificate cannot be validated (for example, if it is self signed) remotedesktop remote app specifies the remoteapp to start on the remote desktop if supported by your remote desktop server, this application, and only this application, will be visible to the user remotedesktop resize method this parameter is optional and used to update the rdp server when the width or height of the client display changes if this value is not specified, no action will be taken when the client display changes size usually, the display size of an rdp session is constant and can only be changed when initially connecting as of rdp 8 1, the "display update" channel can be used to request that the server change the display size for older rdp servers, the only option is to disconnect and reconnect with the new size possible values are display update uses the "display update" channel added with rdp 8 1 to signal the server when the client display size has changed reconnect automatically disconnects the rdp session when the client display size has changed, and reconnects with the new size remotedesktop security the security mode to use for the rdp connection this mode dictates how data will be encrypted and what type of authentication will be performed, if any by default, standard rdp encryption is requested, as it is the most widely supported possible values are rdp standard rdp encryption this is the default and should be supported by all rdp servers nla network level authentication this mode requires login information and performs an authentication step before the remote desktop session actually starts if the username and password are not provided, the connection cannot be made tls tls (transport layer security) encryption tls is the successor to ssl any allows the server to choose the type of security remotedesktop server layout possible values are de de qwertz german keyboard (qwertz) en us qwerty english (us) keyboard fr fr azerty french keyboard (azerty) fr ch qwertz swiss french keyboard (qwertz) it it qwerty italian keyboard ja jp qwerty japanese keyboard sv se qwerty swedish keyboard tr tr qwerty turkish keyboard failsafe unknown keyboard this option sends only unicode events and should work for any keyboard, though not necessarily on all rdp servers or applications if your server's keyboard layout is not yet supported, this option should work in the meantime if mapping is desired, ti must be added to the end of the relevant keyboard parameter supported keyboards with mapping da dk qwerty ti danish keyboard de ch qwertz ti – swiss

remotedesktop enable font smoothing if set to true, text will be rendered with smooth edges text over rdp is rendered with rough edges by default, as this reduces the number of colors used by text, and thus reduces the bandwidth required for the connection remotedesktop width this parameter is optional the width of the display to request, in pixels if this value is not specified, the width of the connecting client display will be used isenabledocrfordevice to disable ocr on a per device basis this parameter can be set to false on the device properties isenabledocrfordevicegroup to disable ocr on a per device group basis this parameter can be set to false on the device group properties some of these settings can be set up on the fly using the settings tab in the rdp session these are keyboard layout (remotedesktop server layout), input method, mouse emulation mode, color depth (remotedesktop color depth), resolution (remotedesktop dpi), audio input (remotedesktop enable audio input), audio output (remotedesktop disable audio), and printing to pdf image (remotedesktop enable printing) the remote desktop properties can also be set globally on the system config management page to do this we need to add the rdp parameter as sc rdp default xxxx if you want to add the parameter remotedesktop dpi as global in the system config manager you can add it as sc rdp default remotedesktop dpi when we set this parameter in the system config manager it will apply to all rdp devices sometimes, the toolbar which contains the settings, and the other elements can obstruct the view in an rdp session to hide this toolbar by default users can use the rdp hide top menu by default parameter when a user adds this parameter to the system config manager as true, this toolbar will be hidden at the start of the rdp session
