Command line support on MacOS

Hello,


I've been reading the support documentation of Royal TS, and the Command Line documentation looks to be very Windows oriented.

I wanted to use the same Command Line options on MacOS, but it doesn't seem to work.


If it's not supported, will it be in the future?

I'm asking because I can't seem to be able to use the "URI" properly when it comes to RDP session.


When I use "open" in my Terminal with a quoted "rtsx://..." URI, each time I add a query string, the connection fails without error (it looks like it tries to connect but closes immediately). Without the appended query string (that I use to name my adhoc connection window), it works flawlessly.


Kind regards,


RS


Hi Steven, it will be included in the first beta of V6. I can't however share an exact release date yet. We hope to get it out in a few weeks. Cheers, Felix

Hello felix,


Thank you for your reply.

Does it mean that the query string parameters are not supported at all on macOS for now?

Because even without "property_Name", and just specifying action, or using, it fails.

Anyway, thank you for moving my threads to ideas, I think it'd be great to at least support the full URI scheme that is available for Windows on macOS. :)


Kind regards,


RS

Hello Felix,


About this, are there any plans on supporting it in the future?

Is it something that can be implemented easily or would it take a long time?

I just want to know if I wait for this to appear or if I need to look for another software to support this.

I actually quite like Royal TS, so I'm trying to stick to it. :)


Thanks!

Hello Felix,


Should I create a new feature request focused solely on the ability to name an ad-hoc connection?


Kind regards,

Hi, no need for a separate feature request because it would be covered by the query string style parameters anyway. Cheers, Felix

Hi everyone, 


To join in on this. We have a platform where we are managing many multiple Virtual machines with an rtsx URL generated automatically based on the parameters clicked on via the website access portal.


These links follow the general format:


rtsx://rdp://IPADDRESS?using=adhoc

&username=USERNAME

&password=PASSWORD

&action=connect

&property_Name=NAME

&property_GatewayHostName=HOSTNAME

&property_GatewayUserName=USERNAME

&property_GatewayPassword=PASSWORD

&property_GatewayMode=0

&property_GatewayUsageMethod=1

&property_GatewayCredentialMode=3


These links work perfectly fine in Royal TS for Windows so was expecting them to work on the Mac version so I'm quite surprised that the functionality is not equally matched as a minimum.


Can this please be looked into? 

We have an online portal that manages access to hundreds of VMs, and it provides access by customising an rtsx link using the below format:


rtsx://rdp://IPADDRESS?using=adhoc
&username=USERNAME
&password=PASSWORD
&action=connect
&property_Name=NAME
&property_GatewayHostName=HOSTNAME
&property_GatewayUserName=USERNAME
&property_GatewayPassword=PASSWORD
&property_GatewayMode=0
&property_GatewayUsageMethod=1
&property_GatewayCredentialMode=3

what would be the equivalent that allows Royal TS X to accept a request to connect to a VM?

Hi Felix,


I've given the beta of Royal TS X V6 a whirl and I've tried using a link in the same format as described above:


rtsx://rdp://IPADDRESS?using=adhoc
&username=USERNAME
&password=PASSWORD
&action=connect
&property_Name=NAME
&property_GatewayHostName=HOSTNAME
&property_GatewayUserName=USERNAME
&property_GatewayPassword=PASSWORD
&property_GatewayMode=0
&property_GatewayUsageMethod=1
&property_GatewayCredentialMode=3

I see the same problem and cannot connect to a machine using this link. Shouldn't this new support in V6 be in line with the same format requested of the windows version?

Thanks so much.

Hey Steven,


I just tested this with the exact same parameters you provided and was able to successfully connect through an RDS gateway to my target RDP host.

The best way to find out what might be going wrong is to drag the ad hoc connection once it's created to one of your existing documents. Then, you can inspect it's properties and check if everything's configured as you would expect.


Hope that helps!


cheers,

Felix

Hi Steven,


the query string syntax for overriding connection properties in ad hoc connections will be supported in the next major version of Royal TSX (V6).


Hope that helps!


cheers,

Felix

Thanks Felix, Roughly when is this version scheduled for release?

Hi Steven,


I can't yet comment on the actual release date but we'll have a public beta ready in the next couple of weeks.


cheers,

Felix

Hi,


we have no short term plans for implementing this.

What properties would you like to set using this method?


thx,

felix

Hi Felix,


How is this progressing in terms of beta/release?
