End-user rdp Workflow

Here is an example workflow for connecting to a windows box using rdp:

1. Install Ark SDK: pip3 install ark-sdk-python
2. Create a profile:
   • Interactively:

     ark configure
     

   • Silently:

     ark configure --silent --work-with-isp --isp-username myuser
     

3. Log in to Ark:

   ark login --silent --isp-secret <my-ark-secret>
   

4. Get a short-lived RDP token as either:
   • RDP file single usage for a windows box from the SIA service:

     ark exec sia sso short-lived-rdp-file -ta targetaddress -td targetdomain -tu targetuser
     

   • Password for continous usage for a windows box from the SIA service:

     ark exec sia sso short-lived-password --service DPA-RDP
     

5. Use the RDP file or password with mstsc or any other RDP client to connect
