Secure virtual machine RDP connections with user authentication.
In this tutorial I show you how to implement user and password authentication for RDP connections in Virtualbox.
Virtualbox allows for a lot of flexibility in the implementation of user and password authentication for RDP connections. Through the use of external authentication libraries you are able to chose a multitude of authentication schemes that suit your security needs.
The two built in methods are the default VBOXAUTH library that uses PAM on Linux systems and the VBOXAuthSimple library that allows you to store user and password information within the VM's hardware configuration file.
As the VBOXAuthSimple library stores user information within the hardware configuration file as "extradata" you are able to move the VM to another host machine and have the users and paswords go with it. Where as with the default VBOXAUTH method you would need to setup the users again on the new host machine. Another plus is that the VBOXAuthSimple method of storing passwords and usernames would be OS agnostic.
