Description | This article describes how to configure the SSL VPN width and height settings to have the optimal RDP resolution on users' screens. |
Scope | FortiGate v7.0.6 and above, v7.2.0 and above. |
Solution |
There are different ways to configure RDP scaling inside FortiOS:
config vpn ssl web portal edit "RDP_Portal" set host "192.168.1.1" set width (0-65535, default = 0)
config vpn ssl web portal edit "RDP_Portal" set default-window-width 0 (default 1024) set default-window-height 0 (default 768) end
It is necessary to have web-mode enabled on the portal to see the 'default-window' settings. To achieve full screen when using RDP, these settings and the bookmark settings must be set to 0 as explained in scenario 3 which will scale with a full-screen browser window.
There are three factors which decide the outcome of how RDP will scale:
For users with small displays, such as a 13-inch screen display, sometimes the black bars appear at the top and the bottom of the page, even after the above changes.
To display full screen for such devices, proceed with the following steps:
Afterward, it should be possible to use the whole display. |
