I have been looking into a Docker based WebUI file management solution for my server and I have started using Krusader by Sparklyballs.

 

My Question: Is it possible to password protect an RDP based Docker app?

 

I have looked around online and changed some of the xrpd.ini settings with no success:

 

Attempt 1:

I changed the xrpd.ini to specify a username and password and restarted the container but still gucamole does not prompt me for a password and connects to the container.

 

[xrdp1]
name=Krusader
lib=libxup.so
username=<SomeUsername>
password=<SomePassword>
ip=127.0.0.1
port=/tmp/.xrdp/xrdp_display_1
chansrvport=/tmp/.xrdp/xrdp_chansrv_socket_1
xserverbpp=16
code=10

 

Attempt 2

I changed the xrpd.ini to ask for a username and password and restarted the container, this time gucamole asks me for a password but any entry in username and password allows entry into the container. (even leaving username/password blank allowed entry to container)

 

[xrdp1]
name=Krusader
lib=libxup.so
username=ask
password=ask
ip=127.0.0.1
port=/tmp/.xrdp/xrdp_display_1
chansrvport=/tmp/.xrdp/xrdp_chansrv_socket_1
xserverbpp=16
code=10

 

 

Is there anyway to secure it?

 

 

Thanks for any help!

Reverse proxy with SSL and htpassword?

Good suggestion

 

Probably best solution but TBH a little overkill for my original plans! I thought it would be easy to just put an RDP password on it!

 

Thanks
