Windows® RDP Pass-Through Service

To use the iLO Terminal Services Pass-Through feature, a service must be installed on the host system. This service will show the name of iLO Proxy in the host's list of available services. The service utilizes the Microsoft® .NET framework's security and reliability. After the service has started, the service polls the iLO to find out if a an RDP connection with the client has been established. If an RDP connection with the client has been established, it then establishes a TCP connection with localhost and begins exchanging packets. The port used to communicate with localhost is read from the Windows® registry at

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\Wds

\rdpwd\Tds\tcp\PortNumber

This is typically port 3389.
