Hello everyone. Welcome back to my
0:08
channel the sec. In this video, I'm
0:10
going to show you how to install RDM and
0:14
using your RDM connecting to your
0:18
devolution server. Previously, we
0:20
already installed that devolution server
0:22
on our Windows 2025.
0:25
We can open the web console and
0:28
configure it. So, this video is going to
0:31
focus on to install RDM, which is free,
0:35
and then connecting to this free
0:38
devolution server. Now, let's jump into
0:40
it.
0:45
If you followed my previous video, you
0:47
must have installed the devolution
0:49
server free on your operating system.
0:53
One thing you need to know, we are
0:55
running on free version, devolution
0:57
server free version, which only having
1:01
one license for solo work.
1:04
What that means, you can't have more
1:08
than one users. So, we already have one
1:11
user,
1:12
which is DVL S-admin. There's no way you
1:15
can add that another one until you want
1:19
to to try out
1:21
30 days for five users.
1:24
You are able to create the multiple
1:26
groups,
1:29
but you won't be able to create that
1:30
more than one user until you have
1:33
another license, which you can enable
1:36
you to use for it. But for this one
1:39
license, you are able to have multiple
1:43
products. As you can see, we have
1:46
multiple license here. We have gateway,
1:49
we have servers, we have RDM. So, all
1:53
can be used for this solo license as a
1:57
DVLS Academy.
1:59
So, that's the first thing we need to
2:00
know. Now, let's start with download the
2:03
RDM.
2:08
It's a simple, easy to download RDM,
2:11
which is completely free. You just
2:13
search RDM download. You should be able
2:15
to go to Devolutions Remote Desktop
2:17
Manager download for use.
2:21
You also can view it in the store.
2:25
It's quick
2:27
to download. It's 316 MB. That shouldn't
2:32
take you more than 2 minutes to finish
2:34
the downloading, and you can continue
2:36
the installation.
2:40
Of course, you say yes to continue.
2:48
So, Remote Desktop Manager has been
2:50
installed. And Remote Desktop Manager is
2:54
opening here. Uh we going to
2:57
create uh data sources since this is
3:01
first time to open. Then it will ask you
3:04
where your data source. It can be either
3:07
on local file, local database, or either
3:11
on remote database. So, here we going to
3:13
choose create a new data source since we
3:16
don't have anything yet.
3:18
There's a two option.
3:21
You can do Devolutions Hub Business,
3:23
which is cloud host solution. It's also
3:26
for free.
3:28
You also can view all data sources here.
3:33
You can choose in Hub Business free,
3:38
type Arc, XML, SQL Lite,
3:41
solo.
3:45
Since we have our Devolutions Server,
3:48
this is native. We can add that.
3:50
Um here you're going to asking you give
3:53
a name. So, I'm going to use in the lab
3:56
devolution server.
3:59
The host.
4:06
So, this is our URL. We're going to use
4:08
in this URL. I'll just copy.
4:14
Put in here.
4:16
You know our username DVRs at the mean
4:19
and the we are using local credentials.
4:26
So, we put the username here.
4:28
I'm going to test connection.
4:30
It was saying there's a remote
4:31
certificate which is rejected. That's
4:34
fine. Let's go to save.
4:39
Choose an interface and update
4:42
preference.
4:44
Next.
4:46
And congratulations, you're all set up.
4:49
Okay.
4:50
So, since we failed test connection, but
4:54
that's because of certificate is
4:55
self-signed.
4:58
So, here we're going to select continue
4:59
and remember.
5:01
Then it will be
5:02
okay to continue.
5:05
You just need to put the password here.
5:10
Now we logged in.
5:14
We have lab devolution server. We have
5:16
one vault here.
5:18
Default as we can see from the back end
5:20
here default.
5:22
We don't have anything else here.
5:24
So, the next
5:26
section we're going to create our first
5:28
vault and we're going to put the one RDP
5:31
server in and we're going to do remote
5:33
connection to there using the RDM.
5:40
Let's quickly create our first vault.
5:45
We're going to create a
5:46
vault.
5:48
We call it uh
5:50
Windows
5:51
Server.
5:53
Add it.
5:54
So, we have Windows Server vault. That's
5:57
the vault. You can create a folder under
5:59
it or you can directly create a
6:02
session.
6:04
So, you can
6:05
remote
6:07
RDP
6:09
session, which is for Windows.
6:13
Server one. We're going to put the IP
6:15
here.
6:17
Add it.
6:19
And you can do lots of
6:23
settings such as uh
6:26
If you have gateway, you can use in the
6:28
gateway. And if you are multiple person,
6:30
you can set up permission. What kind of
6:32
permission can use it? Also, you can set
6:34
up your password policy.
6:37
And also
6:41
do some more security related
6:43
configurations.
6:44
For this, we will just keep it simple
6:47
for now.
6:50
We're also going to create another vault
6:52
called a Linux vault.
6:58
We're also going to add a Linux SSH
7:01
session.
7:03
Continue.
7:10
The host name and then we will enter
7:13
username password later.
7:15
Default port is 22, of course.
7:20
But for now,
7:22
we finished our vault. Now, we can now
7:24
connect into it. So, we can now use our
7:27
RDM.
7:29
Right now, you only see one, so we're
7:31
going to do refresh.
7:38
We're going to log off all data sources.
7:41
We're going to really connect.
7:46
Log in again.
7:53
Now you will see all those walls we
7:55
created. So we going to choose the
7:58
Windows.
8:00
You will see the server.
8:02
You can open session.
8:06
This new tab open and it will ask you
8:08
for username password.
8:13
I'm going to use him
8:16
username login. You can do remember me.
8:23
Now you logged in. Same thing on Linux
8:26
mount.
8:27
You will see a Linux open session.
8:33
The fingerprint.
8:36
Let's register the fingerprint and then
8:38
I continue.
8:39
Same thing
8:41
and username password.
8:44
Next, we logged in.
8:46
So both of worked well.
8:48
Now we're going to do that next step.
8:51
We're going to install the gateway.
8:57
So now let's install the Devolutions
9:00
gateway.
9:01
So right now we don't have any gateway
9:03
installed. You can see nothing
9:07
from the modules.
9:10
There's no PAM module as well. We have
9:12
to have license. Right now we don't have
9:15
that license yet.
9:17
But the for now let's get the gateway
9:19
installed.
9:21
So you go to the Devolutions server
9:23
console.
9:25
Go to the companions.
9:27
You will see this Devolutions server is
9:30
here instance IIS instance.
9:33
This bird icon, you should be able to
9:36
see this install icon. So, this is a
9:38
gateway.
9:40
So, there's a two installation. One is
9:42
standard installation, which is separate
9:45
from your Devolutions Server. If you
9:48
have Devolutions Server already
9:50
installed on the same machine, you can
9:51
install gateway, then it's called a site
9:54
site installation.
9:56
Let's call it that. Lab Devolutions
9:59
Gateway. Download the version.
10:03
The code things storage path. You can
10:06
change it later or you can do it now.
10:08
Doesn't matter. Let's select folder.
10:11
Okay.
10:13
So, now we are installing Devolutions
10:15
Gateway.
10:17
So, this installation may take a couple
10:19
minutes. I'm going to pause the video
10:21
recording and come back once it's done.
10:24
The installation screen was disappeared.
10:28
Now, we can do edit.
10:31
As you can see, this is access URI.
10:35
HTTP listener. For now, we're going to
10:38
using HTTP. As you can see, Devolutions
10:41
Gateway listeners is HTTP. So,
10:44
basically, we're going to using HTTP.
10:47
Close it. Then, we can come back to our
10:51
web portal.
10:53
Click uh Devolutions Gateway.
10:55
And here it says unreachable.
11:02
We're going to change it to HTTP.
11:05
Test connection, success. Let's do auto
11:08
detect. It's also working.
11:11
We don't have gateway farm, so those are
11:13
all good.
11:15
Let's set this as default.
11:18
Save.
11:21
Refresh it. So, right now, we can see
11:24
gateway is configured with HTTP. That's
11:27
why we have this exclamation mark here,
11:31
but it doesn't affecting our function.
11:34
So, we are using HTTP, which all works
11:37
well.
11:42
Since we already installed the
11:44
Devolutions Gateway, so one of the most
11:46
important features is session recording
11:49
can be enabled now.
11:51
So, let's do that.
11:53
Just uh make sure you see this
11:55
configuration
11:57
Devolutions Gateway URL.
12:00
Advanced setting, KDC proxy, we don't
12:02
have that. Gateway information. Those
12:04
are basic settings.
12:06
If we come back to administration again
12:10
here, we need to enable
12:13
system settings here, recording server.
12:16
We have to
12:17
enable
12:19
Devolutions Gateway recording.
12:22
You also may want to enable clean up. I
12:25
put 1 week since this is lab. Make sure
12:28
you save it.
12:30
You also can check this bird icon to see
12:33
the settings.
12:35
That's our first settings. The second
12:37
settings is come back to the server
12:39
itself.
12:40
If you go to the properties here,
12:45
we are on a simplified view. You may
12:47
want to enable advanced view. Here is
12:50
the session recording.
12:52
Then you need to change it. You also
12:53
change it from your RDM session.
12:56
Once you log in RDM, go to your vault,
12:59
find your entry, which is RDP session.
13:03
Go to the properties. Uh because we are
13:05
adding it through our console,
13:09
then let's go
13:11
to here, close that one.
13:14
Try again, properties. Now we are able
13:16
to
13:17
sh- show all properties.
13:22
Session recording.
13:24
I prefer to using this screen to do the
13:27
configuration, which is much more
13:29
meaningful.
13:30
Recording, make sure you put that
13:34
mode is required.
13:38
Gateway mode, same as session.
13:44
Come back.
13:45
Session recording.
13:49
Then you should be able to see the
13:51
remote remote.
13:53
Remember, put the remote here.
13:55
And the land gateway mode, you can put
13:56
the same session or you can use in
13:59
custom, choose your own gateway.
14:02
Check house, enabled, save.
14:05
Perfect. So, I'm going to show you
14:06
something interesting.
14:09
You may need to open your console to see
14:11
this.
14:16
It is asking me to update in server
14:19
console. I will cancel it for now.
14:22
Later on, we will do it.
14:26
And the gateway also installed, you can
14:29
add it.
14:30
So, I put the recording storage path on
14:32
the C temp folder.
14:36
That That's what I already chose for
14:39
this one. You might need to change it to
14:41
some different based on your recording
14:43
storage reach path.
14:46
It's depending on your hard drive space.
14:49
It can be a shared hard drive, but no
14:51
matter what, your devolution server need
14:54
to have access to it. If you don't have
14:57
access, then it cause an issue. So, make
14:59
sure you put that folder your devolution
15:02
server can have full access it.
15:06
Once you made this change, they will
15:08
restart your devolution gateway server.
15:11
This will take probably less than 1
15:13
minute to be finished it. Sometimes,
15:15
when you do remote session recording,
15:18
you may get an error message, then you
15:20
will need to take a look
15:23
at gateway logs.
15:26
Which is you can find it from your
15:28
administration gateway.
15:31
Let me take a look logs. You should be
15:33
able to see lots of information. If
15:34
there's any error message,
15:36
just you can take this troubleshoot it
15:39
out.
15:40
For now, we're going to go in back to
15:43
server properties, double check the
15:45
settings. All seems fine now. Now we're
15:49
going to do the connection.
15:55
If your connection shows red dot on a
15:59
tab, that usually means that the
16:01
recording is happening.
16:03
So, we are going to
16:07
close this one. And then you should be
16:09
able to see that the recording tab here.
16:12
So, also you should be able to see the
16:14
recording you just made.
16:16
And you should be able to play with it.
16:19
You may not be able to see it right away
16:23
because the recording
16:25
usually will take a couple minutes to
16:28
save it on local. But it should be there
16:32
for us to take a look.
16:34
We also can take a look from the folder.
16:38
temp folder
16:40
I had that previous recording.
16:43
This is the latest one. It's recorded at
16:46
web M mode.
16:52
Let's see if we can open it using a
16:55
Windows Media Player.
17:00
It's not recognized.
17:05
This cannot be played.
17:11
We can try to online playing.
17:16
Just want to show you
17:19
how it looks like. It's very small.
17:22
400 kilobytes.
17:26
And you should be able to see
17:29
that recording from here.
17:34
All works well.
17:38
So that's the all for this video which
17:41
shows you how to install RDM gateway and
17:44
how to do session recording. Also, you
17:47
can make your RDM connect to your
17:49
Devolution server for free.
17:52
Hope you enjoyed this video and learn
17:54
something from here. If you do, just
17:57
give me a thumbs up. Subscribe my
17:59
