Mapping a Windows or webDAV drive using the WNSSOClient

Mapping a Windows or webDAV drive using the WNSSOClient

Requirements: Functionality to map a Windows or webDAV drive using the wnssoclient has been added to LUW 6.3.0.199+ builds.

Use cases: users need access to network shares or LUW drives when connecting to a Windows application or desktops via webRDP.

In order to leverage the new functionality,
  1. The wnssoclient6.exe and associated DLL files need to be copied to a directory on an RDS server

  2. The wnssoclient6.exe must be published via RemoteApp Manager/Programs and configured to allow command line arguments

  3. In LUW an RDS application must be created and contain the following SSO script on the options tab in order to map a drive,
    1. Single Sign-on Script: {mapnode driveletter=x node=”/” username=@@typelessuserid@@ password=@@password}

      Note: the node when doing a LiveEdit with a file will always be "/" but if we are simply mapping a drive, it can be more, like "/Share/Folder1/Folder2" or for a webDAV drive “/webDrive/Google Drive”.

  4. For a LiveEdit application configure the options tab using the following values
    1. Start Program: @@driveLetter@@:@@session:rdpEditMappedDrivePath@@
    2. Single Sign-on Script: {logoffonexit}|{notimeout}|{mapnode driveletter=x node=”/” username=@@typelessuserid@@ password=@@password@@}
    3. Ensure the MIME Types are: * (just an asterisk)

  5. In either situation ensure your Single Sign-on Server is set to your server, for example:https://yourServer.example-cloud.com

  6. Ensure the following,
    1. The remote computer's IP/DNS address is in your config/allowHosts file.
    2. The firewall is off or not blocking the connection
    3. The wnSSOClient6.exe and swSSOLibrary.dll are in C:\Windows\System32 of the remote computer or that their location is specified in webAdmin on the "wnSSOClient Path" textbox

Note: The @@driveLetter@@ is parsed in the C# code, and the @@session:rdpEditMappedDrivePath@@ is parsed in SwIFTService.

Ex of @@driveLetter@@ is "x" (no quotes)
Ex of @@session:rdpEditMappedDrivePath@@ is "\MyShare\MyFile.txt" (no quotes)
