Step 2: Install xfce
CentOS 7: 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
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:
[root@tutorialspots ~]# systemctl enable xrdp Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/xrdp.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/xrdp.service. [root@tutorialspots ~]# systemctl start xrdp
Check status:
[root@tutorialspots ~]# systemctl status xrdp
