Abstract

The subject disclosure relates to a method for initiating an accelerated desktop session between a client and a remote. In some aspects, the method includes steps for intercepting a remote desktop connection request, connecting to a network gateway, based on the remote desktop connection request and initiating a first connection with a remote server via the network gateway using a first communication protocol. In certain aspects, the method further includes steps for receiving a token from the remote server, sending the token from a client device to the remote server or a proxy to authenticate the client device and initiating a second connection with the remote server, via the proxy, wherein the second connection is initiated using a second communication protocol. A client device and computer-readable medium are also provided.

Claims (47)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable memory medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

intercepting, at a client device, a remote desktop connection request from a remote desktop client executing at the client device, the remote desktop connection request to connect to a private network via a network gateway, wherein the intercepting and the remote desktop client are both concurrently executed by the client device, wherein the network gateway includes a gateway server and a proxy, and wherein the network gateway provides access to the private network;

connecting to the gateway server based on the remote desktop connection request;

establishing a first connection with a remote desktop server on the private network via the gateway server using a first communication protocol;

responsive to establishing the first connection, receiving an authentication token from the remote desktop server;

sending the authentication token to the proxy, wherein the proxy authenticates the client device with the remote desktop server; and

while the first connection is operational, establishing a second connection with the remote desktop server, via the proxy, using a second communication protocol that is different from the first communication protocol.

2. The computer-readable memory medium of claim 1 , wherein establishing the first connection further comprises:

providing authentication credentials to authenticate the client device with the gateway server.

3. The computer-readable memory medium of claim 1 , wherein the authentication token comprises authentication information for authenticating the client device.

4. The computer-readable memory medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

after establishing the second connection, closing the first connection.

5. The computer-readable memory medium of claim 1 , wherein establishing the second connection further comprises:

receiving a result of the authentication from the proxy.

6. The computer-readable memory medium of claim 1 , wherein the first communication protocol is a transmission control protocol (TCP).

7. The computer-readable memory medium of claim 1 , wherein the second communication protocol is a user datagram protocol plus (UDP Plus).

8. The computer-readable memory medium of claim 1 , wherein the proxy communicates with the remote desktop server via a virtual desktop acceleration server on the private network.

9. A client device comprising:

a processor having access to a computer-readable memory medium storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations comprising:

intercepting a remote desktop connection request from a remote desktop client executed by the processor, the remote desktop connection request to connect to a private network via a network gateway, wherein the intercepting and the remote desktop client are both concurrently executed by the processor, wherein the network gateway includes a gateway server and a proxy, and wherein the network gateway provides access to the private network;

connecting to the gateway server based on the remote desktop connection request;

establishing a first connection with a remote desktop server on the private network via the gateway server using a first communication protocol;

responsive to establishing the first connection, receiving an authentication token from the remote desktop server;

sending the authentication token to the proxy, wherein the proxy authenticates the client device with the remote desktop server; and

while the first connection is operational, establishing a second connection with the remote desktop server, via the proxy, using a second communication protocol that is different from the first communication protocol.

10. The client device of claim 9 , wherein establishing the first connection further comprises:

authenticating the client device with the gateway server.

11. The client device of claim 9 , wherein the authentication token comprises authentication information for authenticating the client device.

12. The client device of claim 9 , further comprising:

after establishing the second connection, closing the first connection.

13. The client device of claim 9 , wherein establishing the second connection further composes:

receiving a result of the authentication via from the proxy.

14. The client device of claim 9 , wherein the first communication protocol is a transmission control protocol (TCP).

15. The client device of claim 9 , wherein the second communication protocol is a user datagram protocol plus (UDP Plus).

16. The client device of claim 9 , wherein the proxy communicates with the remote desktop server via a virtual desktop acceleration server on the private network.

17. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

intercepting, at a client device, a remote desktop connection request from a remote desktop client executing at the client device, the remote desktop connection request to connect to a private network via a network gateway, wherein the intercepting and the remote desktop client are both concurrently executed by the client device wherein the network gateway includes a gateway server and a proxy, and wherein the network gateway provides access to the private network;

connecting to the gateway server based on the remote desktop connection request;

establishing a first connection with a remote desktop server on the private network via the gateway server using a first communication protocol;

responsive to establishing the first connection, receiving an authentication token from the remote desktop server;

sending the authentication token to the proxy, wherein the proxy authenticates the client device with the remote desktop server; and

while the first connection is operational, establishing a second connection with the remote desktop server, via the proxy, using a second communication protocol that is different from the first communication protocol.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , wherein establishing the first connection further comprises:

providing authentication credentials to authenticate the client device with the gateway server.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the authentication token comprises authentication information for authenticating the client device.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , further comprising:

after establishing the second connection, closing the first connection.
