Secure Mobile Access 12.4 Administration Guide

Creating a Resource Pointing to Users’ Remote Desktops

In order to create a resource that points to users’ remote desktops, you need to modify your LDAP store and add an attribute named rdp.

To create a resource variable that points to users’ remote desktops

In the AMC, navigate to Security Administration > Resources.
Click the Variables tab.
Click the + (New) icon.
Enter a name for the variable (for example, Desktop), and then select User attribute as the Type. The options change.
Enter rdp in the Attribute field.
From the Output drop-down menu, leave Single result (default) selected if each user has only one computer associated with him or her in the LDAP store.
Select the realm to which this new variable applies, and then enter the username of someone who has access to that realm in the User field.
Click Test to make sure that the user attribute you specified returns a value for this user.
Click Save.
On the Resources tab, click New, and then select Host name or IP.
Give a name to this resource (for example, Personal computer).
In the Host name or IP address field click {variable}, and then select {Desktop}, the variable you created earlier. Click Insert.
Edit the entry for Host name or IP address to add the portion of the address that the personal computers on your network share. The completed entry might look something like this:

{Desktop}.dept.company.com

As each user logs in, {Desktop} is replaced by the machine name associated with him or her in the LDAP store using the rdp attribute.
Click Save.
