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 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

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 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,

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
