Re: P9, Linux and RDP like desktop virtualization

is RDP properly patched? I read that there are serious vulnerabilities
inRDP.

Marco,

Do I understand correctly that users are connecting from an RDP client to
an RDP server? That the RDP server is running browser instances for each
remote user? If so, why would you do that?

Wouldn't it make more sense for browser clients to connect directly to an
HTTP server? I can't think of any reason for putting an RDP server in the
middle. I'm curious about what use-case you may have had in mind?

My thinking is that web interfaces and RDP interfaces compete against one
another, architecturally. Yet it appears that you thought that they might
be complementary.

It also seems intuitive to me that an RDP interface in the middle would be
extremely resource intensive and prone to poor performance - like what
you're reporting.

Hi, since we rewrote our main IBM i ERP package to be Web based we also took the chance to use it on a Power only machine, no others servers in between. Our plan was to execute our ERP in a RDP like virtualized desktop hosted on a Linux platform (Power). The main reason we choose this way is because communication exchange between the browser and the backend is heavy. The LAN Linux and IBM i use to communicate with each other is virtualized so none of the OS's even reach the switch, of course Linux reach it as it has also to communicate with users, but internal communications are 100% virtualized and I have to say that run really fast. Now our problem is that we sat up various environments: - Red Hat V8 - Red Hat 7.3 - Ubuntu 16.x - Ubuntu 18.x using various desktop virtualization (Dockers, VNC, Xrdp, X2Go and others) but all of them got performance problems when executing the client part of our ERP (Javascript) in a browser. If I execute it using the same Browser (typicall

y
Firefox since Chrome is not available in Red Hat...) in a Windows RDP session it's really fast, no problems at all. The Windows RDP server is in the same location of the P9 so it loads the switch but it's local and doesn't pay the remote latency defect of having all clients request's and backend responses travelling over the internet. So my request to the list is to know if someone has taken this type of road and has experiences to share or suggestions. IBM is not helping so much as they keep stating that "this is not certified" "that it's not supported" and so on. TIA -- Marco Facchinetti Mr S.r.l.
