Problem: You are using an RDS application or Live Edit feature and would like to map a Unified Workspace file node for that session. Use cases could be that you want a cloud storage provider, like Google Drive, mapped to a drive letter so you can use Word to edit a document and save to Google Drive from within Word.
Cause: Unified Workspace has native webDav support. In Windows you can map a webDav file share to a drive letter, so it will show up in other Windows applications as a file location for use.
Prerequisite(s):
- Unified Workspace 6.3.0.199 or higher
- RDS server already setup and configured
- RDS application in Unified Workspace already configured
- wnSSOclient already configured on RDS server
- IMPORTANT - be able to reboot RDS server (WebClient installation)
Solution(s): Make sure you have latest wnSSOclient installed, WebClient services installed and simply enter script on existing application.
Latest wnSSOclient:
- Copy the stoneware\agents\ClientSideSSOForWindows.zip from server
- Unzip the latest wnSSOClient6.exe and swSSOLibrary.dll files on RDS server
Install WebClient services :
- Go to Server Manager
- Add Roles/Features
- Add Feature "Desktop Experience"
- Follow prompts for installation and reboot when completed
- Go to services.msc
- Verify WebClient service is installed
- Set WebClient service to Automatic
- Startup WebClient service
Add script standard RDS application:
- Go to webAdmin
- Go to Application Admin
- Click on desired RDS web application
- Go to Options
- Enter in the following Single Sign-On Script
{logoffonexit}|{notimeout}|{mapnode driveletter=x node="/" username=@@attr:sAMAccountName@@ password=@@password@@}
Add script Live Edit application:
- Go to webAdmin
- Go to Application Admin
- Click on desired RDS web application
- Go to Options
- Enter the following Start Program:
@@driveLetter@@:@@session:rdpEditMappedDrivePath@@ - Enter in the following Single Sign-On Script:
{logoffonexit}|{notimeout}|{mapnode driveletter=x node="/" username=@@attr:sAMAccountName@@ password=@@password@@} - Enter the following in MIME Types:
*
Script options:
- driveletter=x could be changed to a different drive letter
- node="/" could be changed to a specific file node, such as node="/Google Drive"
- username=@@attr:sAMAccountName@@ should be adjusted to other variable, if not using Active Directory
- username and password should be variables you use to login to Unified Workspace NOT Google Drive
