If you already have configured them, you can use existing configuration objects: a machine account, an NTLM authentication configuration, a VDI profile, a connectivity profile, and a client SSL profile.
Supported Microsoft RDP clients can use APM® as a gateway. The configuration supports Microsoft RDP clients on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
Refer to BIG-IP® APM® Client Compatibility Matrix on the AskF5™ web site at http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us.html for the supported platforms and operating system versions for Microsoft RDP clients.
On a Microsoft RDP client, a user types in settings for a gateway and a connection. The names for the settings vary depending on the Microsoft RDP client.
Supported Microsoft RDP clients can specify a virtual server on the BIG-IP® system to use as a remote desktop gateway. Access Policy Manager® (APM®) can authorize the clients and authorize access to target servers as the clients request them.
