I want automated the file creation with .rdp extension for remote desktop and your program is very good but in my vb6 program the call at your program is not the good way.

is not possible for you create an rdp.dll with the encrypt function only ????

Best regards

I used this tool to encrypt my password and put it in an RDP file.

It seems that Windows (XP Pro SP3) ignores the username and password entries that I put in the RDP file and will only use the credentials stored in the registry. It doesn’t matter whether I launch the RDP by double-clicking it or launching it using mstsc from a command prompt.

Does anyone know how to get Windows use the credentials I have stored in the RDP file? Is it because of the version of mstsc (and supporting files) that I am using? A policy? Thanks a lot

Hey thanks for this info. Learned a lot from you.

I have done the same thing in C# but using DataProtection found in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302402.aspx#secnetht07_topic4

You can download the Encrypt/Decrypt sample here.

Dominique Descat, if you will not be against, I would use your code for one of sourceforge projects: RDPman and it’s derivate?

Thanks.

(In e-mail it’s not .ur – shold be .ru, thanks for understanding)

Hi Remko !!
Can you please provide the source code in VC++ 6.0/mfc for the encryption/decryption tool that you have used in your ‘Remote Desktop Password Encryption & Decryption Tool (395)’.

Thanks in advance

Hi Remko,

In your original post in the comments you wrote:
“I will write a new demo app to accompany the article that encrypts the full length password and can encrypt password that are valid for machine instead of user.
This makes it possible (eg) to publish an rdp connection.”

I’m just wondering if this is the app you were talking about. I tried to encrypt a password using the tool but didn’t see any option for machine vs. user; I tried it anyway but it doesn’t seem to work for any other user that signs on to the machine besides the one the password was encrypted under.

Any tips? Basically what I’m trying to do is make an RDP file that I can save under All Users\Desktop and any user who signs in can use it to connect to another machine using a single username/password. I tried your LaunchRDP utility however the missing ‘toolbar’ is an issue for me (users need to be able to minimize the remote desktop window)

Thanks!
