Josh Thompson updated VCL-959:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.6
> Update RDP file settings
> ------------------------
>
> Key: VCL-959
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-959
> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: web gui (frontend)
> Reporter: Andrew Kurth
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.6
>
>
> The settings that get populated in the .rdp file should be updated. The
> subroutine that generates the .rdp file is _sendRDPfile_ in _utils.php_.
> Each setting should be checked against the current Microsoft reference
> documentation to determine if it's used anymore. For example, _clear
> password_ does not work when connecting from a modern Windows OS. It may not
> work under any scenarios anymore. Even if it did, the security implications
> outweigh the convenience of not having to type the password.
> The _winposstr_ is particularly annoying for me. This is hard-coded as:
> {code}print "winposstr:s:0,1,382,71,1182,671\r\n";{code}
> The last 4 integers represent distance on screen from left, top, right, and
> bottom. They should be adjusted for different window heights and widths.
> With the hard-coded values, when you open the .rdp file you always see a
> partial window with scrollbars. When connecting from Windows 10 (possibly
> others depending on configuration), the maximize button causes the window to
> dock in the upper-left corner. It can't be moved. I always have to manually
> resize the window to its full size so that I can move it where I want it on
> my screen.
> There are some other settings that shouldn't be hard-coded such as:
> {code}print "disable wallpaper:i:1\r\n";{code}
> The user should be able to control this.
> Design-wise, I don't like having these settings stored directly in the user
> table. A separate table should be created such as _rdpPrefs_. I can see the
> possible benefit of having similar functionality for different connection
> methods such as Spice, *NX. Each will have its own parameters. We should
> come up with a way to store the RDP settings that will work for other methods.
