Remote access to CentOS 7 from Windows 10.................?

Step 1: Install and configure EPEL Repository as Xrdp is available in EPEL Repository

rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

yum -y install xrdp tigervnc-server

 Step3: Once xrdp is installed, restart the xrdp service using the following command.

Sudo systemctl restart xrdp.service

Step 4: Confirm that xrdp is listening to 3389 port.

Netstat –antup | grep xrdp

                                                                                  

  

 

Step 5: Enable xrdp to start at startup.

Systemctl enable xrdp

 

Step 6: Configure Firewall to allow rdp connections from external machines. 

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=3389/tcp

 

 

Step 7: Configure SELinux:

chcon   --type=bin_t /usr/sbin/xrdp

 

chcon     --type=bin_t /usr/sbin/xrdp-sesman

Step 8: Now you can use remote desktop from windows and access the linux machine.
