HP t505 Connection Configuration for RDP Farm Deployments - Page 4

Deployments using RD Gateway, Network, Address, Options, Load Balance Info

Page 4 highlights

Configuring the Web Browser connection is simpler but requires that the user authenticate twice. Configuring multiple RDP connections allows for a single authentication but has the complexity that comes with managing multiple connections. If using a single Web Browser connection, follow this procedure: 1. Add a new Web Browser connection. 2. In the URL field of the Web Browser Connection Manager, enter https://Server1/RDWeb (replace Server1 with the server address). If using multiple RDP connections, follow this procedure once for each farm: 1. Add a new RDP connection. 2. On the Network page of the wizard, enter the address of Server 1 in the Address field. 3. On the Options page of the wizard, in the Load Balance Info field, enter the Load Balance Information URL (see Obtaining the Load Balance Information URL for more information). Deployments using RD Gateway The following RDS components are required: • RD Gateway • RD Licensing • RD Connection Broker • RD Web Access • RD Session Host or RD Virtualization Host RD Gateway adds proxy-like support for bridging a lower-security network (WAN, etc.) to the higher-security network running the RD server farms. The server deployment changes slightly from the non-gateway layouts. Server 1 should be configured to run RD Gateway and RD Web Access. Server 2 should have RD Licensing, RD Connection Broker, and RD Session Host installed. RD Gateway and RD Web Access are run on the same server in this case because the external network must be able to access both of those components. Thin Clients Server 1: RD Web Access RD Gateway Server 2: RD Licensing RD Connection Broker RD Session Host Farm Servers: RD Session Host or RD Virtualization Host On HP ThinPro, the connection can be configured in the same two ways as described in Multiple farm deployments. If using a single Web Browser connection, follow this procedure: 1. Add a new Web Browser connection. 2. In the URL field of the Web Browser Connection Manager, enter https://Server1/RDWeb (replace Server1 with the server address). 4

Configuring the Web Browser connection is simpler but requires that the user authenticate twice. Configuring multiple RDP
connections allows for a single authentication but has the complexity that comes with managing multiple connections.
If using a single Web Browser connection, follow this procedure:
1.
Add a new Web Browser connection.
2.
In the URL field of the Web Browser Connection Manager, enter
https://
Server1
/RDWeb
(replace
Server1
with the server address).
If using multiple RDP connections, follow this procedure once for each farm:
1.
Add a new RDP connection.
2.
On the
Network
page of the wizard, enter the address of Server 1 in the
Address
field.
3.
On the
Options
page of the wizard, in the
Load Balance Info
field, enter the Load Balance Information URL (see
Obtaining the Load Balance Information URL for more information).
Deployments using RD Gateway
The following RDS components are required:
RD Gateway
RD Licensing
RD Connection Broker
RD Web Access
RD Session Host or RD Virtualization Host
RD Gateway adds proxy-like support for bridging a lower-security network (WAN, etc.) to the higher-security network
running the RD server farms.
The server deployment changes slightly from the non-gateway layouts. Server 1 should be configured to run RD Gateway
and RD Web Access.
Server 2 should have RD Licensing, RD Connection Broker, and RD Session Host installed. RD Gateway
and RD Web Access are run on the same server in this case because the external network must be able to access both of
those components.
Thin Clients
Server 1:
RD Web Access
RD Gateway
Farm Servers:
RD Session Host
or
RD Virtualization Host
Server 2:
RD Licensing
RD Connection Broker
RD Session Host
On HP ThinPro, the connection can be configured in the same two ways as described in Multiple farm deployments.
If using a single Web Browser connection, follow this procedure:
1.
Add a new Web Browser connection.
2.
In the URL field of the Web Browser Connection Manager, enter
https://
Server1
/RDWeb
(replace
Server1
with the server address).
