SSH client that SDT Connector launches (e.g. Putty, OpenSSH) and the host's SSH server for public key
authentication. Essentially, what you are using is SSH over SSH, and the two SSH connections are entirely
separate.
6.8 Setting up SDT for Remote Desktop Access
Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) enables the system manager securely to access and manage
remote Windows computers: to reconfigure applications and user profiles, upgrade the server’s
operating system, reboot the machine, etc. Secure Tunneling uses SSH tunneling, so this RDP traffic is
securely transferred through an authenticated and encrypted tunnel.
SDT with RDP also allows remote Users to connect to Windows XP, Vista, Windows 2003 computers and
to Windows 2000 Terminal Servers, and to have access to all of the applications, files, and network
resources (with full graphical interface just as though they were in front of the computer screen itself).
To set up a secure Remote Desktop connection, you must enable Remote Desktop on the target
Windows computer that is to be accessed and configure the RPD client software on the client computer.
6.8.1 Enable Remote Desktop on the target Windows computer to be accessed
To enable Remote Desktop on the Windows computer being accessed:
Open System in the Control Panel and click the Remote tab
