Solutions: Not being able to connect to a Linux VM through Bastion RDP could have several reasons and therefore several solutions. Please verify that you have completed the criteria below:
- Does your organization have the optional service Bastion enabled? If not, contact your local Research Support Team via a ticket and ask for the possibilities.
- Did you SSH into the Linux machine first before attempting to RDP into the VM? If not, please SSH via Bastion first: it will create the user directory and you will be able to use RDP afterwards.
