$500 Bounty about freerdp-webconnect HOT 8 CLOSED

Maybe ThinRDP or ThinVNc might work http://www.cybelesoft.com/thinrdp/ , http://www.cybelesoft.com/thinvnc/web-vnc.aspx

from freerdp-webconnect.

Switch to Guacamole (http://guac-dev.org/) ...

• Also open source
• Working on most of the Linux tastes around (I currently run it on Ubuntu 12.04)
• Easy to build and extend
• Really really good performance
• Supports RDP as well as VNC
• Uses a HttpTunnel in stead of WebSockets, so older browsers (even MSIE!!) work without a problem
• Is good and active project (I've got the feeling this FreeRDP-WebConnect project is close to dead)

ThinRDP/VNC is closed source and very expensive...

ThinRDP is going to cost me $500. I would rather throw this money at an open source project. Guacamole is too administrative-intensive (i.e. - I have to set up individual accounts locally and configure each one to connect to a predetermined device). I need a solution that simply prompts for active directory username, password and remote host. A domain would be a nice addition to this set but not required.

I guess that I will post a bounty on Guac as well. It works fine otherwise.

If you install it out of the box, you'll need to setup some user account and so, BUT:
it has an quite easy to use API which allows you to easelly write a TomCat WebApp that uses the Guacamole API ...

I have it connecting on IP base, passing all the possible options (so no users, etc.) .. build, tested and working within a day ... it even has working audio :P !

I will take a look. Thanks for your quick input.

Hi @pneumatic, I'm closing this issue now since we just merged a lot of features, including Ubuntu support. Can you please check out the latest code on Ubuntu and let me know if it works for you?

sudo apt-get install -y git
git clone https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP-WebConnect.git
cd FreeRDP-WebConnect
sudo ./setup_all.sh -f -i

No need for bounties BTW! :-)
