Abstract: A remote resource application that is associated with an application container in a manner that the application container restricts the remote resource application from directly accessing at least a file system of the computing system. The remote resource application provides a visualization for each of multiple remote resources. The user may launch the remote resource by selecting the corresponding visualization. Some of the remote resources are accessed by launching from the remote resource application itself in the context of the application container. Others of the remote resources are launched outside of the application container. The remote desktop application may operate securely within the application container, and still serve as an integrated location from which a user can access remote resources, regardless of whether the remote resource is launched from internal or external to the application container.

Abstract: Exemplary techniques for enabling single sign-on to an operating system configured to conduct a remote presentation session are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a user credential can be encrypted using an encryption key generated by a remote presentation session server and sent to a client. The client can send the encrypted user credential to the remote presentation session server. The remote presentation session server can decrypt the user credential and use it to log a user into an operating system running on the remote presentation session server. In addition to the foregoing, other techniques are described in the claims, the detailed description, and the figures.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for connecting a user to all of his resources (e.g. remote desktop or remote application) in a deployment of server farm(s). The user's client sends a message to the deployment requesting any disconnected resources for the user and/or any active resources communicating with a different client. The deployment determines what those resources are, then strips out redundant information (e.g. two resources are remote applications executing within the same session) and sends a stripped list to the client, which reconnects. The client first reconnects to a resource that is not a VM and stores any user input (e.g. credentials) prompted for during that log in. Then, it reconnects to the other resources in parallel, using in these later reconnections any input received from the client during the first reconnection.
