Cloudflare Access now supports RDP
Feb 21, 2019Sam Rhea
Summary
This post introduces the integration of Cloudflare Access with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). It details how Access leverages identity provider integration (Okta, Azure AD) to enforce strong password policies and centralized credential management for RDP connections. Additionally, it explains how Argo Tunnel is used to secure RDP ports by creating a secure tunnel from the remote desktop to the Cloudflare network, eliminating the need for direct RDP port exposure. The post provides instructions for configuring Argo Tunnel with `cloudflared` and for connecting to RDP sessions through Access.
