Dispel offers the ability to use Bastion to allow Virtual Desktop connections in your web browser rather than needing to use an RDP client on your computer.
This is a feature that must be configured per Virtual Desktop stack by Dispel.
How-to Guide:
If you are a VDI User:
Sign in to the Dispel dashboard. If you don't have access yet, request access (the guide for how to request access can be found here.)
Once you have access:
First: copy your password to your clipboard by clicking the purple
icon next to your password valueThen: click on "access your Virtual Desktop through the browser," as shown in the screenshot below.
This will open up a webpage that looks like the following screenshot:
Type in:
Your username, which will always be:

on Windows: press 'control + V'
Now, press Login, and you should be connected!

Enter the username guest-user, paste your password, and then click Login.
