Enabling Remote Desktop to access the cluster name node
Create the user to be granted remote desktop access to the name node in the Configure Remote Desktop screen,
as shown in Figure
6-2
. Be sure to supply a password. You also have to choose an expiration date for this user account.
For security reasons, you will need to reconfigure your remote desktop user every seven days. The expiration date that
needs to be set will not accept a date greater than a week into the future.

enabling Remote Desktop for your cluster, as shown in Figure
