Remote desktop web connection file

Hi everyone, I saw there is Apache Guacamole that is doing the same. What do you think of this clientless RD solution? Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Comma separated list of machine-specific display IDs. IDs can be retrieved by calling mstsc. The first ID listed will be set as the primary display in the session. Determines which display the remote session goes full screen on when maximizing.

Determines whether a multi display remote session automatically switches to single display when exiting full screen. Determines whether the remote session window appears full screen when you launch the connection. Determines whether or not the local computer scales the content of the remote session to fit the window size.

Determines whether the resolution of the remote session is automatically updated when the local window is resized.

Specifies the dimensions of the remote session desktop from a set of pre-defined options. This setting is overridden if desktopheight and desktopwidth are specified.

Determines whether environment variables contained in the RemoteApp command-line parameter should be expanded locally or remotely. That is, reconnecting to a session or connecting to a session other than the console session will not run the program.

At least, this is how Terminal Services appears to work based on empirical observation. The size of the remote desktop is specified on this page. This is the logical desktop size, not the physical client view of it. For example, if the remote desktop size is x and client size is x , you would see a x view of the remote desktop with scroll bars.

If the client size were x , the entire remote desktop would be visible, offset by a gray border. Specifying "Same as client area" will make the remote desktop the same size as the RDCMan client panel, i. Specifying "Full screen" will make the remote desktop the same size as the screen that the server is viewed on.

Note that the remote desktop size is determined upon connecting to a server. Changing this setting for a connected server will have no effect. The maximum size of the remote desktop is determined by the version of the remote desktop activeX control. Version 5 pre-Vista had a maximum of x ; Version 6 Vista has a maximum of x This limit is enforced at connection time, not during data entry. This is in case the same RDCMan file is shared by multiple computers.

Various resources of the remote server may be delivered to the client. The remote computer sound can be played locally, played remotely, or disabled entirely. Client drive, port, printer, smart card, and clipboard resources can be automatically shared to the remote machine. You can specify whether authentication of the remote machine is required before a connection is established.

The first option is: thumbnail scale. This specifies how many thumbnail units to allocate to the display of a given server. All servers default to a scale of 1.

You can change this to increase the display of important servers. For example, a server could be scaled by 3 or 5 making the remote session quite usable in the thumbnail display while still permitting a view of many other servers.

This is the only option for servers. There are three additional options for groups: preview session in thumbnail, allow thumbnail session interaction, and show disconnected thumbnails. The first whether or not the thumbnail view shows the actual live connection, continually updated.

The second, dependent on the first, specifies whether the thumbnail session is usable. The final option controls whether disconnected servers appear in the thumbnail view. Personal certificates of the current user which have a private key are available for encryption. You can create such a certificate in the following manner:. To install this cert on another computer, you must export it with the private key. RDCMan has limited support for managing remote sessions other than those connected from it.

The [Session. List Sessions] menu item invokes the feature. Note that the account running RDCMan must have Query Information permissions on the remote server to list the sessions. Furthermore, the remote session must be directly reachable rather than via a gateway server.

Disconnect and Logoff permissions must be granted to perform those operations. See msdn for more information on remote desktop permissions. By default, RDCMan will open the files that were loaded at the time of the last program shutdown. You can override this by specifying a file or files explicitly on the RDCMan command line.

Additionally, the following switches are accepted:. Find servers command. All servers matching a regular expression pattern are displayed in the dialog and can be acted on via a context menu. Credential profiles store logon credentials globally to RDCMan or in a file. This allows for using the same stored credentials across groups that do not have a common ancestor.

One use scenario is to store credentials used for logging into servers and gateways in a single place. When a password changes, it can be edited once. Another scenario is when sharing RDG files across a group. Instead of storing passwords in the file which would have issues due to the user-specific nature of the encryption RDCMan uses , a profile is created such as "Me" which each user defines in their Global store.

Safari may display a gray screen if the browser is resized or enters fullscreen multiple times. To sign in to the client, go to the URL your admin sent you. By signing in to the web client, you agree that your PC complies with your organization's security policy.

After you sign in, the client will take you to the All Resources tab, which contains all items published to you under one or more collapsible groups, such as the "Work Resources" group. You'll see several icons representing the apps, desktops, or folders containing more apps or desktops that the admin has made available to the work group.

You can come back to this tab at any time to launch additional resources. To start using an app or desktop, select the item you want to use, enter the same user name and password you used to sign in to the web client if prompted, and then select Submit. You might also be shown a consent dialog to access local resources, like clipboard and printer. You can choose to not redirect either of these, or select Allow to use the default settings.

Wait for the web client to establish the connection, and then start using the resource as you would normally. When you're finished, you can end your session by either selecting the Sign Out button in the toolbar at the top of your screen or closing the browser window.
