How to make off-campus remote desktop connections at IU
To protect the Indiana University network from a vulnerability in the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) announced March 13, 2012, UITS blocks incoming remote desktop connections from computers on non-IU networks. (The block went into effect June 21, 2012.) UITS does not block RDP for those on campus; making a remote desktop connection from one campus system to another is still possible as long as both systems are on the IU network.
Note:
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is blocked in campus housing.
To make remote desktop connections, you can either establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection or use the Remote Desktop application in IUanyWare:
- Connect to VPN: Establish a VPN connection if you are off campus, connecting to a computer on campus. Use the recommended SSL VPN, if your campus supports it.
- Use IUanyWare: Log into IUanyWare. Click the tab, and then, in the Search field, type
remote desktop connection
, and select the icon. For more, see Set up and use IUanyWare.
