In this part of the demo you will be connecting to the simulated ONPREMISES Jumpbox
You will install a Remote Desktop Client Application
Setup the Remote Desktop Connection
Connect to the Jumpbox
Access the Simulated Client Machine
Verify the On-Premises File Server is working ok.

STAGE 2A - Install a MS Remote Desktop Application

macOS : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id1295203466?mt=12
Windows : built in, Search for Remote Desktop
Linux : Various 3rd party solutions available

STAGE 2B - Locate the Jumpbox Details

Open https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1#Instances:sort=tag:Name
Select JumpBox
Locate the Public DNS (IPv4) for the Jumpbox and note down the DNS name
Right Click and Select Connect Click 'RDP Client'
Note down the username it should be Administrator (note this down as JumpBox Username)
Click on Get Password
Click on Choose file
Locate the A4L.pem file you downloaded earlier and click Open
Click on Decrypt Password and note down the password as JumpBox Password

STAGE 2C - Connect to the Jumpbox

Use the remote desktop application to connect to the Jumpbox
You will need :-

  • server address (this might be called differently, its the Public DNS value above)
  • Username ... should be Administrator
  • Password ... the Jumpbox Password you noted down above

If there are any resolution settings DONT use fullscreen and set a resolution lower than your screen resolution (so you can see the instructions)

STAGE 2D - Record the other connection information for other instances

Open https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1#Instances:sort=tag:Name

For each of the following instances :-

  • Client
  • FileServer
  • DC1
  • DC2

Record the value from Private IPs in the EC2 console, and record which Instance name it relates to.

e.g. DC1 PrivateIP 192.168.12.5 (make sure you use your own private IPs)

STAGE 2E - Connect to the 'client' instance

This instance simulates a client machine within the A4L Onpremises environment
Click windows start button

Open the application
connect to Client by entering the PrivateIP for Client you noted down above in the computer box
Username Admin@ad.animals4life.org
Password YOUR_DOMAIN_ADMIN_PASSWORD

Move the RDP tab at the top to the far left ... this will mean when closing things down... you know which is your connection to the client machine ...

STAGE 2F - Browse to the A4L FileServer

Click Start ... type \\FileServer\A4LFiles
