Customizing the RDP display size

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.

To configure the default window dimensions in an RDP web portal:

config vpn ssl web portal
    edit <name>
        set default-window-width <integer>
        set default-window-height <integer>
    next
end

default-window-width <integer>	Set the default RDP screen width, in pixels (0 - 65535, default = 1024).
default-window-height <integer>	Set the default RDP screen height, in pixels (0 - 65535, default = 768).

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 personal RDP bookmark (+ New Bookmark), or hover over an existing bookmark and click the edit (pencil) icon.
3. Set the Resolition width and 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).

Windows 7:

Ubuntu 20.04:

To view the bookmarks created by the user:

show vpn ssl web user-bookmark
config vpn ssl web user-bookmark
    edit "rdp_user#"
        config bookmarks
            edit "RDP_win7"
                set apptype rdp
                set host "172.18.58.94"
                set port 3389
                set logon-user "fosqa"
                set logon-password ********
                set color-depth 32
                set width 1360
                set height 768
            next
            edit "RDP_ubuntu"
                set apptype rdp
                set host "172.18.58.109"
                set port 3389
                set logon-user "auto"
                set logon-password ********
                set color-depth 32
                set width 800
                set height 600
            next
        end
    next
