Allow customization of RDP display size for SSL VPN web mode 7.0.4

The RDP display size (width and height settings) can be customized for SSL VPN web mode when creating a new connection or bookmark. Administrators can also specify the display size when preconfiguring bookmarks.

Example

In this example, a user has a monitor with a resolution of 1920 × 1080. The user creates two bookmarks for RDP servers with different resolutions:

  • Windows 7: 1360 × 768
  • Ubuntu 20.04: 800 × 600

To customize the RDP bookmark display size:
  1. Log in to the SSL VPN web portal.
  2. Create a new RDP bookmark (+ New Bookmark), or hover over an existing bookmark and click the edit (pencil) icon.
  3. Set the Screen Width and Screen Height fields as required.
    1. Windows 7: 1360 width and 768 height.

    2. Ubuntu 20.04: 800 width and 600 height.

  4. Click Save.
Verification:

When the user connects to the RDP servers using the bookmarks, the customized screen resolutions are applied regardless of the client PC's screen resolution (1920 × 1080).

Ubuntu 20.04:

To view the bookmarks created by the user:
