2X Client

Hi,

Can you give me more details about this product ? If it's use a RDP connection, you should be able to open it in a tab, but if they use their own protocol, I'm not sure. Can you give me an example of command line, what client they use ?

An example of the command line to launch a published connection is as follows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\2X\Client\TSClient.exe" s!='appserver.address.com' t!='443' d!='domainname' u!='username' a!='applicationtostart' m!='2' o!='1' i!=''

I don't know much about it, but trial versions of the Application Server and client component (as well as a manual with the command line switches) can be downloaded from here: http://www.2x.com/applicationserver/downloadlinks.html

This system is somewhat similar to Citrix, in that it seems to provide a proprietary layer on top of RDP, yet it still appears to use the core of the Microsoft RDP client. It also publishes connections to users' desktops, similar to Citrix. The download link above has some scripting components that claim to let you be able to interact with the remote application server via VBScript of JavaScript, so that could be helpful in integrating it into RDM. If I were a programmer, I'd dive into this myself to try and make an add-on for RDM, but unfortunately I'm not. We just decided to purchase RDM Enterprise edition for our company, so any integration efforts for the 2X client would be much appreciated!

Hmm, I just found out that the scripting stuff I mentioned is only for administrative functions on the application server itself, so unfortunately there's nothing there that will help with embedding it into RDM. =(

Hi,

there is a WebPortalSample on the 2X Site mentioned by ivorycruncher, which could help.

One could enter the url for the 2XWebPortal, the farm,folder and application id along with the needed credentials to gain access to the apps of favour.

2X is definitely worth a try! 80% cost reduction compared with Citrix.

It extends the RDS protocol and 2X Applicationserver XG now can also access VDI thru ESX or Hyper-V.

If one registers the trial he gets a fully functional Terminal Server solution with 3 concurrent connections.

It is licensed per server not per seat. That's where the savings come from.

Another way could be to gather for the settings in the registry (HKCU hive).

I only recently discovered this product and thinking of buying a license for our company. We have 3 clients of ours that we login to using the 2x Client as well, so an addition to the rdm would be really nice :)

André is gone take a look at this when he will have the time. He is currently working on finishing few another few add-ons.

Hello Andre,

thank you for your effort on this topic.

I just took a first look and configured our 2X Server.

But I only get an error saying

"Code 02/00000003

The Client could not establish a connection to the remote computer.

The most likely causes for this error are:

1) The servers are too busy to service your request

2) The machine is not part of the farm."

But the connection through the 2X Client directly succeeds.

My settings in the 2X Client are:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\2X\AppServerClient\Farms\F0000\Conn0000]

"Mode"=dword:00000000 --> (=regular Gateway)

"Server"="2xserver.domain.local"

"ServerPort"=dword:00000050 --> (=80)

"tmpgw"=dword:00000050 --> (=80)

"tmpssl"=dword:000001bb --> (=443)

We have 2X ApplicationServer 9 installed and I tested with both 2X Client 9.0 and 10.1.

best regards

Steffen
