Does RDP support this kind of "reverse connection" mode that VNC has? https://serverfault.com/questions/1100655/is-it-possible-to-make-a-reverse-r... says not, which seems like a significant loss of functionality.
Yeah, I don't think this is really a thing in the RDP world as far as I can tell.
Also, we are using GNOME remote desktop to provide the RDP access & its remote desktop control tool (grdctl) does not seem to provide a way to configure something like that:

For the record, it does not seem to support the VNC connect mode as as well.
I'm also not sure how well is VNC actually supported in GNOME remote desktop, as IIRC it is not even exposed as an option in modern Fedora Workstation options page - only RDP can be configured from there.
Well, all you need is any VNC app, and there are lots of those. For the openQA tests we use vinagre for the regular client test and tigervnc for the reverse connection test. GNOME Connections supports regular VNC, I just didn't get around to changing that test to use it yet.
