TSWEB

[Guest]

I would like to make an application housed on a windows 2003 server available
over the web to multiple users. I am interested in TSWEB and trying to
understand the architecture and functionality behind it. Can someone suggest
an architecture or point me to a resource that I can use to get this going?
Having trouble finding any real examples or info on it.

Thanks in advance.

Simply put, Terminal Server Web (Remote Desktop Web Connection) is a delivery
mechanism for an ActiveX Remote Desktop Client and RDP Connection Settings to
Internet Explorer Clients.

Clients logon, download the ActiveX Client (the first time they connect),
read the connection info from the webpage and launch an RDP Session to the
destination Terminal Server (Defined in Default.htm)

If you're looking for something more elaborate you may want to consider
add-on products with more advanced Web Portals, i.e. Citrix MetaFrame, Jetro,
Tarantella SGD or Ericom Webconnect.
