Perform RDP-based O&M - Bastionhost - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

This topic describes how to use a local RDP client tool to log on to a bastion host and access a host on which you want to perform O&M operations. Microsoft Remote Desktop is used as an example.

Prerequisites

Microsoft Remote Desktop is downloaded from Microsoft Store and installed on your local host.
The O&M addresses of the bastion host are obtained. You can obtain the O&M addresses in the Bastion Host Information section of the Overview page in the console of the bastion host. For more information, see Overview page.
Note
Bastionhost provides fixed O&M addresses and supports dynamic O&M IP addresses to implement disaster recovery. The IP address to which the private O&M address of a bastion host is resolved may change. We recommend that you perform O&M operations by using an O&M address. This helps prevent unavailable O&M due to the IP address change.

Procedure

Start Microsoft Remote Desktop.
Enter <O&M address of a bastion host>:63389 and click Connect.
Enter the username and password of the account that is used to log on to the bastion host and click Login.
Optional: If multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled for the RAM user, enter the verification code obtained from the bound MFA device (the Alibaba Cloud app) and press Enter.
On the asset management page, double-click the host to which you want to connect from the bastion host.
