Re: HIDE LOGIN PROCEDURE IN RDP
To the best of my knowledge, there is no such "ready event" for Windows RDP. There is no way for an RDP client to know that the desktop has loaded. Assuming that device redirection will only become ready when the login screen has disappeared and the desktop is ready for use is not a safe assumption: the components of a Windows session load asynchronously and the specific components you would be relying on are not documented as providing any such guarantees. - Mike On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 11:18 PM Amarjeet Singh wrote: > If we were going to make the change, however, I would argue that Device >> Redirection is an unreliable way of accomplishing this.

Maybe others on the list have opinions on this? Many organization wants this feature for better user interface. There are many screens [ connecting dialog + black thumbnail + windows login screen ] which appears before desktop gets ready. To minimize those screens and make it a single screen of loading page and then to the desktop screen gives user a better experience. There are other HTML5 applications which has this feature.

I'm not sure I see the point in it, at least in trying to put it into the main Guacamole code, as I don't find the Windows Logon screen terribly bothersome, and I would argue that people would rather know that the login is proceeding and where the process is than to have it hidden behind a "Connecting to Guacamole" dialog box for the amount of time it takes to establish the session and log in. That's just my personal feeling, though. If we were going to make the change, however, I would argue that Device Redirection is an unreliable way of accomplishing this. What if the user isn't redirecting any devices? What if they're trying, but it isn't allowed by the remote server? What if it fails? I guess my bottom-line question is: why do this? What's the point of hiding the Windows login screen? Why does it matter, and is it really worth the trouble of trying to figure out some way to determine when Windows is logged in. Maybe others on the list have opinions on this? -Nick
Re: HIDE LOGIN PROCEDURE IN RDP
I mean to hide the windows rdp login not guacamole login. I want to show loading or connecting dialog box till windows rdp login completes. Ready event is the event which will be generated when windows login will be completed. As of now it can be generated when any static virtual channel is ready example... Device redirection tell us that user has logged on and we can generate ready event based on that On Thu, 7 Mar 2019, 18:41 Nick Couchman, wrote: > On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 7:37 AM Amarjeet Singh > wrote: > >> Hi Team, >> >> >> How can I hide the login procedure of remote machine in Single Sign On? >> Can we send ready event after user logged on ? >> How to show connecting dialog till that even comes ? >> >> > I'm not clear on what you're trying to do: > - Are you trying to hide the Guacamole login or the Windows RDP (or Linux > xRDP) login? > - I have no idea what you mean by "ready event"? > - Why show the connecting dialog while you wait for the logon?

HIDE LOGIN PROCEDURE IN RDP
Hi Team, How can I hide the login procedure of remote machine in Single Sign On? Can we send ready event after user logged on ? How to show connecting dialog till that even comes ? Any suggestions? Thanks and regards Amarjeet Singh
