Thinfinity® Remote Workspace offers a mechanism to generate One-Time-URL connections that expire after a given period of time.
These are some situations in which the One-Time-URL might be useful:
a. Giving access to a desktop to external users without having to weaken the to 'Allow Anonymous Access'.
b. Generating a temporary access to a desktop.
c. Integrating Thinfinity® Remote Workspace on a Single-Sign-On Scheme along with external applications.
How it works:
1. First you need to ask Thinfinity® Remote Workspace to generate the URL for you. Call Thinfinity® Remote Workspace server following this URL format:
2. The queryString should be built with all parameters listed below:
Find on the table below a description for each required parameter.
Parameter
Description
apiKey
apiuser
model
Send the profile key of the profile you want to to connect to. The profile's settings will work as a template for the One-Time-URL connection that will be established. You can modify these settings by adding more parameters to the One-time-URL.
plen
The plen parameter carries the password length.
expires
Through this parameter you can set an expiration(in minutes) for the URL. Expires = 30 means that the URL won't work anymore after 30 minutes from the URL generation.
3. If Thinfinity® Remote Workspace gets to authenticate with the parameters sent on the queryString, it will return a One-Time-URL that will allow you to establish an RDP connection with the remote desktop.
Concatenate the Thinfinity® Remote Workspace address to the generated URL, following this format below:
This way, the URL will be ready to be used. You can redirect your application to the desktop connection through it, or even send it to an external user by e-mail.
