Google OAuth/2

Users can be authenticated in ThinRDP Server by using their Google Accounts.

This kind of authentication requires the system administrator to configure a few settings on ThinRDP Manager and on Google Apps servers.

If you want to learn how to configure the Google Accounts Integration feature, follow the steps below:

Requirements

1. A Google account is needed in order to set up the integration in the Google Web Site. This Account is used as a security assurance for the other users who will share their personal account data.

2. The users who will authenticate using this method must also have a previous Google account.

3. The ThinRDP authentication level has to be set to Access Profiles.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a Client ID for web applications

2. Enable the Integration through the ThinRDP Manager SSO tab: OAuth/2 tab

3. Enter the e-mails that will be authenticated against ThinRDP Server. This set up will be available under the OAuth/2 tab Users in the ThinRDP Manager.

4. Associate the Active Directory Users/Groups with the authorized e-mails also on the ThinRDP Server Manager, under the Mapping tab in the ThinRDP Manager.

How to use it

1. Open a web browser and log into Google with one of the authorized accounts (step 4 above).

2. Open a new tab in the same browser instance and access ThinRDP application from this tab, using the configured URI (e.g.: https://ThinRDPServer/google) .

3. The application will automatically recognize you, but before connecting to ThinRDP Server, it will ask you for permission to access your account information.

4. Press the Allow Access button, and you will be automatically authenticated against ThinRDP and redirected to the Start Page.
