Remote Desktop Connections

The Remote Desktop Connections tab configures Windows passwords to launch RDP sessions. Any Windows password stored in a vault can be RDP-enabled. Once configured, you can click the desktop icon displayed by an RDP-enabled password to launch the RDP session. You can also set various policies to restrict the actions allowed during an RDP connection.

Note: For more information, see How do I configure Remote Desktop Connections with AuthAnvil Password Server?
