Step 2: Install xfce
CentOS 8: how to install xfce Desktop
Step 3 – Configure xRDP
In this step, we create 2 new files: ~/startwm.sh and ~/.xsession
su - tutorialspots vi ~/startwm.sh
Content:
#!/bin/sh if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then . /etc/default/locale export LANG LANGUAGE fi startxfce4
chmod a+x ~/startwm.sh
echo xfce4-session > ~/.xsession
Step 4: edit file /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
sudo vi /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
Content:
... ; security layer can be 'tls', 'rdp' or 'negotiate' ; for client compatible layer security_layer=rdp ; minimum security level allowed for client for classic RDP encryption ; use tls_ciphers to configure TLS encryption ; can be 'none', 'low', 'medium', 'high', 'fips' crypt_level=none ...
Step 5:
sudo systemctl enable xrdp sudo systemctl start xrdp
Check status:
[tutorialspots@CentOS-82-64-minimal ~]$ sudo systemctl status xrdp

Step 6: open port 3389
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" port protocol="tcp" port="3389" accept' sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" port protocol="udp" port="3389" accept' sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Step 7: connect RDP by mstsc
