RDP settings policies

RDP settings policies define protocol-level settings (timeout, display, protocol version, and authentication). You can create multiple policies, and choose the appropriate one for each RDP connection.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/rdp/settings_policies
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For details on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

Note that this session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).
Sample request

The following command lists RDP settings policies.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/rdp/settings_policies

The following command retrieves the properties of a specific policy.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/rdp/settings_policies/<policy-id>

Element Type Description
key string Top level element, contains the ID of the policy.
body Top level element (string) The elements of the RDP settings policy.
autologon_domain_suffix string Enter the suffix that the client will append to the domain when using autologon in conjunction with Network Level Authentication (CredSSP).
name string Name of the RDP settings policy. Cannot contain whitespace.
permit_unreliable_usernames boolean Set to true to automatically terminate RDP connections if SPS cannot reliably extract the username.
preconnect_channel_check boolean

Before establishing the server-side connection, SPS can evaluate the connection and channel policies to determine if the connection might be permitted at all. The server-side connection is established only if the evaluated policies permit the client to access the server.

To enable this function, set the parameter to true.

protocol_features Top level item Settings for RDP protocol versions, and Network Layer Authentication.
screen Top level item Display size and depth settings.
timeout int Connection timeout, in seconds.
inactivity_timeout Top level element
enabled boolean
  • true: If no user activity is detected, it terminates the session after the configured time has passed since the last user activity.
  • false: No user inactivity timeout.
value int

Only if enabled is true

The value of user activity timeout. Must be greater than or equal to the value of timeout

 

userauth_banner

string

You can display a banner message to the clients before authentication.
Elements of protocol Type Description
nla Top level item Settings for Network Level Authentication.
enabled boolean

Set to true to enable Network Level Authentication.

If set to true, the require_domain_membership element is required in the JSON.

require_domain_membership boolean

Set to true to require domain membership.

Must be in the JSON if NLA is enabled.

rdp4_auth_enabled boolean Set to true to enable RDP4 authentication within the RDP5 protocol. This might be needed for compatibility reasons with certain client applications.
rdp4_enabled boolean Set to true to enable the version 4 of the Remote Desktop Protocol.
rdp5_enabled boolean

Set to true to enable the version 5 of the Remote Desktop Protocol.

To also configure SSL-encryption for RDP5, enable the nla element, or configure a Signing CA in your connection policies.
Elements of screen Type Description
maximum_bpp int The maximum allowed color depth of the remote desktop, in bits. The following values are valid: 8, 15, 16, 24.
maximum_height int The maximum allowed height of the remote desktop, in pixels.
maximum_width int The maximum allowed width of the remote desktop, in pixels.
