Remote program may not start

Open yuriy709 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I'd like to start a certain application in browser (using link like https://server/Myrtille/?__EVENTTARGET=&__EVENTARGUMENT=&server=localhost&user=user&passwordHash=hash&program=application&connect=Connect%21 ) without any prompts and/or other stuff, and it works until it runs to one (but usually two) problems:

  • Myrtille does not open the application, it opens full desktop mode.
  • It shows session selection dialog

Problem occurs it became reoccuring and I have to manually log off from all session in RDS-server to reinstantiate seamless connections.

Are there any options that can be used to enforce seamless connection?

There are some limitations:

https://github.com/cedrozor/myrtille/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION.md#auto-connect--start-remote-application-from-url

The start remote application from url feature only works on Windows Servers editions (starting from Server 2012) and only if the program is allowed to run (remoteApp policy). See notes and limitations.

On Windows Home Editions, there are several workarounds to start an application automatically on start. You can for example set a Group Policy or define a startup program in registry (HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run).

A session selection dialog can be shown if you have the same user account for all sessions and if there are disconnected sessions. 2 options :

  • Have different accounts per users
  • Prevent having disconnected sessions (see https://github.com/cedrozor/myrtille/issues/362)
