RDP Native Client Times Out Due to Inactivity

PrivX may unexpectedly terminate idle native RDP client sessions after a period of inactivity. The following message appears in the PrivX logs:

Dec 15 17:08:52 privx-test rdpproxy: [rdpproxy] psid="160804401718288" user="ffa3c932-9080-4b40-5c9e-477fcf9ea867" type="TARGET_DISCONNECTION" reason="Connection closed on inactivity"

This is likely intended behavior, but it can be adjusted to meet specific needs.

Potential Solution

To extend the inactivity timeout and prevent unexpected session disconnections, update (or create) the RDP proxy session_timeout configuration variable.

Modify the /opt/privx/etc/rdpmitm/rdpproxy.ini file as follows:

[globals]
session_timeout=3600
