3.15 – Touch remoting
Touch Remoting will be enabled automatically when following conditions are met:
RDP host is Window 8 or Windows 2012 and
Local device has multi-touch ability and
Minimum screen resolution of local device is 1024x768
3.16 – Hyper-V Console and Enhanced Session Mode
Compared with normal RDP connection, Hyper-V console connection has following pros and cons:
Pros:
Don’t need a network for the VM, don’t need to have RDP enabled. Only need the VM GUID for connection.
Same as a physical computer, Good for testing and some applications which cannot run under normal RDP.
Don't require Terminal Services CALs.
Cons (if enhanced session mode is not enabled):
Limited RDP features, no resource redirection.
Not all resolutions can be supported; can only change the resolution in Windows.
Since Window 2012 R2, Hyper-V console supports enhanced session mode which allow your redirect local resource in Hyper-V console session. To enable enhanced session mode in Spark View, please append ";EnhancedMode=1" to the VM GUID. Please check following link for more information about enhanced session mode: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn282274.aspx
To connect to Hyper-V console, make sure:
Enable CredSSP (Network Level Authentication) in gateway.conf.
The server address is the Hyper-V server address; User name, password, and domain are all for Hyper-V server, not for the VM you are connecting to. Also be aware default listening port of Hyper-V console is 2179 instead of 3389. To connect to a VM, all you need is the VM GUID.
Install Microsoft Virtual Machine Integration Services into the VM; disable cursor shadow (important) in the VM. It’s better to adjust your computer for best performance.
3.17 – RDP connection cache/pool
RDP session may take minutes to start (booting, login, user profile etc) which is unacceptable sometimes. RDP connection Cache/pool allows you see you desktop and RemoteApp instantly.
You can cache a connection on client side and display it when user needs it. Cache on client side is faster and recommended.
You can also cache a connection on gateway side (in a connection pool) too. It’s disabled by default, to enable it, set maxCacheTime to a non-zero value in gateway.conf.
Please check example7.html (under html directory) for usage on client side.
Cache API also make integration more easier, here is what you can do with it:
Your application send http request to the gateway to create a connection and this connection will be cached on gateway: http://gateway/CACHE?server=hypervServer&port=2179&user=uu&pwd=pp&domain=dd&CACHEID=mycacheid&CACHETIMEOUT=1&CACHEPOLICY=0&DUPLICATE=off&gatewayPwd=5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99&width=800&height=600" In this request, CACHETIMEOUT is 1 minute, CACHEPOLICY=0 means gateway will do nothing if this cache is popped out. DUPLICATE=off means there is only one cache item under one id. You'd better using UUID as CACHEID. gatewayPwd is the MD5 hash of password configured in gateway.conf, 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 is the MD5 hash of “password”.
On the client side, you can create an RDP connecting by: Using the JS library directly in your web page: new svGlobal.Rdp("ws://gateway/RDP?CACHEID=mycacheid&... or using rdpdirect.html: http://gateway/rdpdirect.html?gateway=yourgatewayaddress&CACHEID=mycacheid
3.18 – Symlink (access link)
You can create a symlink for a RDP host (must be configured in servers.json first). After you created a RDP server in servers.json, you’ll be able to access it with the server id. Symlink is more secure than server id, and it can be a temporary link (set up valid time) or a permanent link.
You can create a symlink file manual and specify this file in gateway.conf. Here is an example of symlink file:
{
"symlinks": [
{
"id": "3645e6db-7afc-4fff-8ad9-92415aa25db0",
"resourceId": "demo2",
"validFrom": "2013-05-14 20:43 MDT",
"validTime": "5d",
"parameters": "user=uu&pwd=pp",
"comment": comment"
}
]
}
The pattern for date format is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm z . Please check http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html for more information about this format.
You can send extra parameters to the server by configuring the "parameters" property.
You need to specify the location of the symlink file in gateway.conf:
symlink = C:\\Users\\uuu\\workspace\\data\\symlink.json
You can also configure this using config.html:
On the client side, you'll need to use 'symlink=symlinkId' instead of 'server=yourServer' when creating a connection: var rdp = new svGlobal.Rdp('ws://gateway/RDP?symlink=symlinkId&mapClipboard=on&...')
You can also join a symlink: var rdp = new svGlobal.Rdp('ws://gateway/JOIN?symlink=symlinkId&mapClipboard=on&connectif=on&...')
If connectif = on and there is no session established with that symlink, this will create a new connection instead. Make sure you set connectif = on in gateway.conf to enable this feature first.
3.19 – Macro recording
Macro recording can be used on software testing, automated jobs etc. Please add macro.js into your web page and then you can record macro:
var recorder = new MacroRecorder(rdp);
recorder.start();//start recording
recorder.stop();//stop recording
recorder.play(); //playback
recorder.stopPlay();//stop playing
recorder.getScript();//get playback script
Please check the source code of macro.js for more details.
3.20 - Remote assistance
You can provide Remote Assistance with assit.html. With Spark View's cross-platform ability, now you can provide remote assistance from anywhere, and devices:
You can connect to Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 2008, Window 8, Windows 2012 with SparkView remote assistance. SparkView only accepts invitation file which is generated in version 1 format for now.
Remote Assistance session cannot be joined.
Remote Assistance is disabled by default. Please set assistance = true in gateway.conf to enable it.
3.21 – RFB (VNC) protocol support
You can connect to any VNC server (Linux, Mac etc) with vnc.html. It also supports session shadowing.
3.22 – SSH and Telnet
You can connect to SSH server with ssh.html, and connect to Telnet server with telnet.html:
You can also join SSH and Telnet sessions.
Telnet doesn't support local echo.
3.23 – Smart Card Redirection
Since version 5.7, Java applet was deprecated. Smart Card redirection need a small native application (sg_agent.exe for Windows, sg_agent.zip for macOS) running on user’s machine to communicate with Smart Card.
Local hardware (smart card, scanner) redirection needs an agent (native application) running on your computer to acees the local hardware. Please:
Download the agent from your installation: http://localhost:8080/sg_agent.exe
Run the agent and keep it running during the connection (you only need to run the agent once for multiple sessions).
Click the "Open" button to open a new window (bridge.html) to communicate with the agent and keep it open during the connection.
You also need to add the "&smartCard=on" parameter to your websocket URL to enable smart card redirection. Use the "&passwordIsPin=on" parameter if you want to transfer password as the PIN of smart card.
If the green smart card icon is displayed in the traybar, the implementation was successful:
smart card, smartcard, hardware token, hardwaretoken
3.24 – Scanner redirection
Spark View provides two different method for scanner redirection:
Please use the TWAIN Virtual Data Source if your scanner has TWAIN driver and your application supports TWAIN scanner. OR
Please run the SparkScan.exe in RDP server to scan from a local scanner which supports TWAIN, WIA (windows) or ICA (Mac OS) scanner.
Virtual TWAIN Data Source deployment (Need to deploy it on the RDP server first):
Create a directory under windows\windows\twain_32, for example: RemoteSpark
Copy SparkDataSource.ds to this directory: windows\windows\twain_32\RemoteSpark\SparkDataSource.ds The name of the directory or SparkDataSource.ds can be changed. Run SparkScan /? to show the help information.
3.25 – USB redirection
USB redirection is based on WebUSB: https://wicg.github.io/webusb/ . Please check your browser compatibility: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/USB#browser_compatibility .
Add "&mapUSB=on" parameter to your websocket URL to enable it.
It only works on secure contexts (HTTPS only).
Feature Policy is needed if the session is running in iframe:
