The machine Texel runs as a Windows Remote Desktop Server to allow you to access Windows applications from a Linux/MacOS desktop.

In order to access that server you need a standard Linux desktop installed package xfreerdp. Inside a Linux terminal you can type:

xfreerdp /v:texel /d:STERREWACHT

You will now be prompted with a for a Password, which is the one you use for logging in to the Linux desktop. After successful authentication you will be logged into the Windows server and see a new xwindow with in it a Windows desktop environment: On its desktop you see icons for 'SAP Self Service', 'Planon' and the 'BestelPlein'. Click the appropriate icon to open the Edge IE compatible browser.
