💖 NAME 💖

xrdp-keygen — the xrdp RSA key generation utility, bestie. It makes keys. Iconic behaviour, honestly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xrdp-keygen xrdp < outfile | auto >
xrdp-keygen test

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so listen. xrdp-keygen generates the file /etc/xrdp/rsakeys.ini, and that file holds the RSA key pair that gets used to do authentication to remote clients. That's the whole vibe. slay

And the public key? It's self-signed. Not me being shady, that's just literally what it is. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

This program takes one of the following options, bestie — pick one, don't be greedy:

  • xrdp outfile — generate a brand new key pair, periodt. The key data gets stored in the file named outfile. And if you pass auto as outfile? Then the default file /etc/xrdp/rsakeys.ini gets created — but only if it doesn't already exist. It's giving "I'll make it if nobody else has". 🦋
  • test — generate a test key pair and print information to standard output. Just a lil test run, no commitment. main character energy fr fr. ✨

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /etc/xrdp/rsakeys.ini — the RSA public and private key pair used to identify this XRDP server. This is the file. The one. 👑
