Here are the steps to install xrdp on ubuntu 12.04 and get it working:

http://www.ubuntututorials.com/remote-desktop-ubuntu-12-04-windows-7/

However, I want a secure xrdp connection over ssh and I am able to achieve it by using port forwarding in the software putty as below:

L1234 ==> localhost:3389

But I am still able to remote login to the ubuntu through xrdp connection when I am not connected using SSH.

It is supposed to deny remote login when SSH is not present.

In the file

/etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

I tried to change the [global] section by adding "ip=127.0.0.1" and it didn't work.
