RDP Gateway Docker Compose Installation

Introduction

Soffid allows you to deploy a new docker container with the RDP gateway. The configuration is similar to the sync server configuration.

Prerequisites

The RDP Service is only released as a docker service.

1. Install docker (https://docs.docker.com/install/)

2. Install docker compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

3. Install Soffid PAM (store container and launcher container)

You can visit the PAM Jump Server Installation page for more information about how to install PAM

Installation

The steps required to install RDP container are:

1. Create a user

We need to create a user in the pam store container. To do this, we need to connect to the store container.

sudo docker exec -it soffid-pam-store /bin/bash

Once, we are connected to the container, we need to run a script to create the user. This script has two parameters, the user name, and the role. We have to type launcher in the role parameter

root@soffid-pam-store:/# /opt/soffid/tomee/bin/add-user.sh proxyrdp-user launcher
Password: c4ZRcmgemq3nMr1VQJCD1pJRhPbdX5hrmmrP6RX7zBE4HSs3RV3+cGwDdL1WaaqZ
root@soffid-pam-store:/#

As a result of the script, we receive the password for the created user. This password will be needed later when we create the container.

2. Execute the YAML

version: '3.8'

services:
  ssh-gateway:
    image: soffid/pam-rdp:1.4.47
    environment:
      SOFFID_SERVER: https://syncserver01.soffid.com:1760
      SOFFID_USER: admin
      SOFFID_PASS: admin123
      SOFFID_HOSTNAME: rdp-gateway-2
      STORE_SERVER: https://soffid-pam-store:8443
      STORE_PASSWORD: c4ZRcmgemq3nMr1VQJCD1pJRhPbdX5hrmmrP6RX7zBE4HSs3RV3+cGwDdL1WaaqZ
      STORE_USER: proxyrdp
    ports: 
      - "2222:22"
    networks:
      - network
    volumes:
      - rdp-gateway-data:/opt/soffid/iam-sync/conf
     
networks:
  network:
    name: netcompose
    driver: bridge

volumes:
  rdp-gateway-data:
    name: compose-rdp-gateway-data

Execute:

sudo docker compose up -d

Environment Variables

To create the new SSH container you need to set the following environment variables:

Variable	Description	Example
SOFFID_SERVER	Sync Server URL	https://syncserver01.soffid.com:1760
SOFFID_USER	Soffid user to join the security domain	admin
SOFFID_PASSWORD	Soffid user password	changeit
SOFFID_HOSTNAME	The hostname used to access the ssh gateway	ssh-gateway
STORE_SERVER	Store URL	http://soffid.pat.pam:8082
STORE_PASSWORD	Password received when you created the user in the store container.	************
STORE_USER	Store user	proxyrdp

RDP Gateway Docker Installation

Introduction

Soffid allows you to deploy a new docker container with the RDP gateway. The configuration is similar to the sync server configuration.

Prerequisites

The RDP Service is only released as a docker service.

1. Install docker ( https://docs.docker.com/install/ )

2. Install Soffid PAM (store container and launcher container)

You can visit the PAM Jump Server Installation page for more information about how to install PAM

3. Create a Docker network(*), that network allows you to connect containers to the same bridge network to communicate:

sudo docker network create -d bridge NETWORKNAME

* You can use the same network defined in the Console and Sync Server installation to avoid visibility problems.

Installation

The steps required to install RDP container are:

1. Create a user

We need to create a user in the pam store container. To do this, we need to connect to the store container.

sudo docker exec -it soffid-pam-store /bin/bash

Once, we are connected to the container, we need to run a script to create the user. This script has two parameters, the user name, and the role. We have to type launcher in the role parameter

root@soffid-pam-store:/# /opt/soffid/tomee/bin/add-user.sh proxyrdptest launcher
Password: c4ZRcmgemq3nMr1VQJCD1pJRhPbdX5hrmmrP6RX7zBE4HSs3RV3+cGwDdL1WaaqZ
root@soffid-pam-store:/#

As a result of the script, we receive the password for the created user. This password will be needed later when we create the container.

2. Create volume

We need to create a volume that will be used by the docker container

sudo docker volume create soffid-rdp

3. Create a docker container

Finally, we need to execute the command to create the rdp gateway container

docker run \
  --name soffid-rdp \
  -e SOFFID_SERVER=https://iam-sync.soffidnet:1760 \
  -e SOFFID_USER=admin \
  -e SOFFID_PASS=changeit \
  -e SOFFID_HOSTNAME=rdp-gateway \
  -e STORE_SERVER=http://soffid-pam-store:8080 \
  -e STORE_PASSWORD=/Dp77Kho5QB2vVKjNNGmXYLzVa6PoPWJ8p0E4O7EP++9/ZM+l3cieGKMRSgOnFCMc \
  -e STORE_USER=proxyrdp \
  -v soffid-rdp:/opt/soffid/iam-sync/conf \
  --privileged \
  --shm-size=1024m  \
  -p 3389:3389 \
  --network=soffidnet.intenal \
  soffid/pam-rdp:1.4.2

Environment Variables

To create the new SSH container you need to set the following environment variables:

Variable	Description	Example
SOFFID_SERVER	Sync Server URL	https://syncserver01.soffid.com:1760
SOFFID_USER	Soffid user to join the security domain	admin
SOFFID_PASSWORD	Soffid user password	changeit
SOFFID_HOSTNAME	The hostname used to access the ssh gateway	ssh-gateway
STORE_SERVER	Store URL	http://soffid.pat.pam:8082
STORE_PASSWORD	Password received when you created the user in the store container.	************
STORE_USER	Store user	proxyrdp

RDP Gateway Connection

Introduction

We can establish a connection to the target system using the RDP remote access protocol. You can use a remote desktop client.

How to connect

You can establish the connection with the ssh gateway using a desktop client and then Soffid will ask you the parameters to connect:

System name: system to which you want to connect.
Account name: Soffid's account.
Account system: account to use to connect to the target system.
