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 SSO RDP file for a windows box from the SIA service:
    ark exec dpa sso short-lived-rdp-file -ta targetaddress -td targetdomain -tu targetuser
    
  5. Use the RDP file with mstsc or any other RDP client to connect
