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.
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/rdp/settings_policies
| 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). |

| hostkey_check | string |
Defines the method for checking the host keys of the target server. Possible values are:
| ||
| x509_hostkey | Top level element | Verifies the identity of the servers based on their X.509 certificates. | ||
| enabled | string |
Set to true to enable X.509 hostkey verification. If enabled, the x509_check element is mandatory. | ||
| x509_check | Top level item | Contains the configuration settings for verifying X.509 certificates. | ||
| selection | string |
Configures the validation of X.509 certificates. Possible values are:
| ||
| trusted_ca | string |
Must be used if the selection element is set to accept-signed-by. References the identifier of the trusted CA. You can add or modify the list of trusted CAs at the /api/configuration/policies/trusted_ca_lists/ endpoint. To modify or add a trusted CA, use the value of the returned key as the value of the trusted_ca element, and remove any child elements (including the key). | ||
For practical purposes, the following examples show only the relevant parts of a connection policy JSON object. To modify or add a connection policy, always submit the full JSON object.
Access control list: configuring the "security" usergroup to only audit connections made by the "root_only" usergroup.
"access_control": [
{
"authorizer": "security",
"permission": "audit",
"require_different_ip": true,
"require_different_username": true,
"subject": {
"group": "root_only",
"selection": "only"
}
}
Target server: use the address specified by the client.
"server_address": {
"selection": "original"
}
Target server: use a fix address.
"server_address": {
"address": "<fix-IP>",
"port": 22,
"selection": "fix"
}
Target server: configure inband destination selection, where the client can specify the target address in the username. The target can be either an IP range, or a domain.
"server_address": {
"dns_server": "<ip-of-dns-server>",
"dns_suffixes": null,
"domains": [
{
"domain": {
"selection": "address",
"value": "<IP-range>"
},
"port": 22
},
{
"domain": {
"selection": "domain",
"value": "*.example"
},
"port": 22
}
],
"selection": "inband"
}
Source address: use the same fix IP when connecting to the remote server.
"source_address": {
"address": "<ip-address>",
"selection": "fix"
}
Web gateway authentication: require the admin usergroup to perform an additional gateway authentication on the SPS web interface. They must authenticate from the same host which initiated the connection.
"web_gateway_authentication": {
"enabled": true,
"groups": [
"admin"
],
"require_same_ip": true
}
Client-side hostkey: use plain hostkeys uploaded to SPS, and generate X.509 certificates for the connection.
"client_side_hostkey": {
"plain_hostkey": {
"dsa_key": "<id-of-dsa-key>",
"enabled": true,
"rsa_key": "<id-of-rsa-key>"
},
"x509_hostkey": {
"enabled": true,
"x509": {
"selection": "generate",
"signing_ca": "<key-of-signing-ca>"
}
}
}
Policies: configure only the required policies.
"policies": {
"aa_plugin": null,
"analytics_policy": null,
"archive_cleanup_policy": null,
"audit_policy": "<key-of-audit-policy>",
"authentication_policy": "<key-of-auth-policy>",
"backup_policy": null,
"channel_policy": "<key-of-channel-policy>",
"credential_store": null,
"ldap_server": null,
"settings": "<key-of-settings-policy>",
"usermapping_policy": null
}
Server-side hostkey: accept the hostkey or X.509 certificate presented at the first connection, and require the same hostkey or certificate for any subsequent connections.
"server_side_hostkey": {
"plain_hostkey": {
"enabled": true,
"hostkey_check": "accept-first-time"
},
"x509_hostkey": {
"enabled": true,
"x509_check": {
"selection": "accept-first-time"
}
}
}
Server-side hostkey: only accept X.509 certificates that are verified by a trusted CA.
"server_side_hostkey": {
"plain_hostkey": {
"enabled": false
},
"x509_hostkey": {
"enabled": true,
"x509_check": {
"selection": "accept-signed-by",
"trusted_ca": "<id-of-trusted-ca>"
}
}
}
