RDP Proxy

The RDP Proxy feature in Secret Server enhances security by routing Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections through Secret Server, ensuring that secret credentials are protected during remote access sessions. This proxying mechanism can be configured in two ways: the recommended method, which uses temporary credentials to connect to the RDP proxy and then to the remote server, and an alternative method that tunnels the RDP connection through an SSH proxy. The recommended method is preferred as it prevents secret credentials from reaching the client machine, thereby enhancing security. The RDP Proxy supports up to 100 concurrent connections and ensures that all RDP traffic is securely monitored and recorded if session recording is enabled. This setup mitigates risks associated with direct RDP access and helps prevent lateral movement of malware between machines.
