Yeah, I don't think this is really a thing in the RDP world as far as I can tell.
Also, we are using GNOME remote desktop to provide the RDP access & its remote desktop control tool (grdctl) does not seem to provide a way to configure something like that: https://www.mankier.com/1/grdctl For the record, it does not seem to support the VNC connect mode as as well. I'm also not sure how well is VNC actually supported in GNOME remote desktop, as IIRC it is not even exposed as an option in modern Fedora Workstation options page - only RDP can be configured from there. > > The point of the `vnc --connect` mechanism anaconda currently has is > to > allow remote installs to a heavily-firewalled system, by having that > system connect *out* to a server running on the system from which you > will run the install, instead of the other way around. > -- > Adam Williamson (he/him/his) > Fedora QA > Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @ad...@fosstodon.org > https://www.happyassassin.net > > > > -- > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > Do not reply to spam, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
