Setting Up SSH Port-Forwarding
To connect to a Remote Desktop (RDP) session in a Windows job, follow the instructions below:
Select your Windows job and choose Rerun with SSH
Log in to the SSH session and change the user password with the following command:
passwd
Note: Windows requires a complex password and will return "Try Again" if a password is not strong enough. Consider using a randomly generated secure password.
Set up SSH port-forwarding by running the following on your local machine:
ssh -fN -L 3390:localhost:3389 -p 54782 <windows job ip>
Open the Remote Desktop app (included with Windows or download from the Mac App Store) and connect to:
localhost:3390
Log in with the username "circleci" and the password set in step 2
