Hello Richard,

Thank you for your answer, now I understand.

Thanks for opening those tickets, they are helpful anyway.

One idea/question (it might not possible either): every program has an option in macOS under the Window menu: 'Move to XXX' (XXX is the display, e.g.: Built-in Retina Display).

Is it possible that at the time of ARD connection RDM sends some control signal to every application to move them to Display X? If I'm not mistaken ARD can do some management, not only screen share/control, so it's might be possible.

Thank you,

Ben

Hi Samuel and Richard,

Sorry I might was not clear enough.

I only brought up RDP as example that worked good for me. (And I know it's a different protocol.)

So I have two issues with ARD:

1. I have 3 displays locally when I work on my Macbook. I have programs running on each. For example:

• Display 1 - browser

• Display 2 - file manager

• Display 3 - text editor

When I connect with RDM I can only see 1 display. If it is Display 1 I can only see the browser and not the other two applications.

I want to see all application on my only display.

This works with RDP as I expect. RDP uses sessions: I have a local session with 3 displays and a remote session with only 1 display. When I open the remote session it moves all the programs to the only 1 existing display. When I log in my local session (that logs out the remote one) I have 3 displays again.

2. The second issue is that I only want to have 1 active session (or as you wrote locking screen). With RDP, when I log in remotely it logs out locally, and when I log in locally it logs out remotely. So it ensures that I can access only once at the same time. So it makes sure that no one can peek my screen locally while I use remotely.

I hope I could describe in a clearer way this time.

Thank you,

Ben

Hello,

On Windows I use RDP for remote connections. RDP uses sessions, instead of screen sharing. I want to achieve something similar with ARD. Is it possible?

I use my Macbook with two external monitors, so I have 3 screens total, each screen have different windows open.

When I connect with my iPhone RDM to my Macbook I should select the display number, so I can only see the windows of that display. When I switch to a window on an other display I cannot see it.

The other issue is that, I can only connect to my Macbook remotely with unlocked screen. I want to only unlock it remotely, but locally I want to not show anything.

Windows RDP solves both issues with sessions.

Thank you,

Ben
