How to setup CIFS/webDav drive using wnSSOclient

How to setup CIFS/webDav drive using wnSSOclient

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
