| Hello all,
We have clients connecting to XP workstations as follows:
Sunray thin client {alp protocol}->Sunray server {RDP}->XP workstation
I need to make the XP workstation aware of the IP address of the thin client that is connecting to it indirectly via the sunray server. The Sunray server has this information and I can research ways to pass this on to the RDP client as a command line option. However, do you know if the RDP channel supports passing such arbitrary data, and if possible, any links to MSDN information on the api's?
Thanks, -Ravi

| You probably need a custom channel addin or whatever they're called to pass some arbitrary data.

| The reason I need to pass the client's IP address is so that I can figure out the region he's connecting from using subnet information from AD sites and services and then calculate the timezone that the client is connecting from.
The sunray rdp client supports passing the time zone, however XP does not support time zone redirection, only server does. I wonder how hard it would be to mimic this functionality? I think the steps would be -
- Read time zone from the connection information (how?)
- change machine's timezone. (easy)
