Introduction
The goal is to call a Windows remote application using FreeRDP. The configuration is done in the VISULOX PORTAL Console.

Step 1 : Configuring passcache, single sign on, script object
Resource
VISULOX Dashboard / Application Management / Applications / Arguments for Command
-resource <name>
Resources can be configured in the VISULOX Cockpit / Addons / Passcache or via Command Line Interface.
Script object
VISULOX Dashboard / Application Management / Applications / Arguments for Command:
-rdpfile <name>
RDP configuration files can be configured in VISULOX Cockpit / Addons / Script Objects or via Command Line Interface.
See also: Script objects / RDP configuration files
Single sign on
VISULOX Dashboard / Application Management / Applications / Additional VISULOX Mode:
vlxSSO=1;
These steps can be skipped, but in this case user and password must be entered everytime the WTS is connected, before the remote application will be started.
Step 2 : Configuring FreeRDP as an integrated part of VISULOX
VISULOX Dashboard / Application Management / Applications / Application Command:
vlxshell
In this example a preconfigured script object and a resource will be used:
VISULOX Dashboard / Application Management / Applications / Arguments for Command:
-client freerdp -rdpfile test -resource <resource-name> -- <freerdp-parameter>
vlxshell parameters with RD Gateway configuration and resource:
-client freerdp -rdpfile RDP -gateway-resource test /g:<server.domain> /gateway-usage-method:direct
Please check the freeRDP documentation of the installed version regarding how to use the parameters for freerdp, if necessary.
The commands of xfreerdp have been changed in version 2.x.
If the new version is used, also the new parameters have to be used in the Arguments for Command field of the vlxshell application.
Step 3 : Configuring Window Manager
The Window Manager has to be configured in the General tab:
VISULOX Dashboard / Application Management / Applications / Additional VISULOX Mode:
vlxMode=WM;
Remote applications will not be terminated after ending the RDP session, if the WTS is not configured otherwise.
