Abstract
Multilevel redirection can be performed in a VDI environment. When a user establishes a second remote session within a first remote session, various redirection techniques can be configured to span both remote sessions so that redirection will be available within the second remote session in the same manner that redirection was available in the first remote session. Therefore, from the user perspective, redirection will occur regardless of whether the user has established a single tier remote session or multitier remote session.
Claims20
A method, performed by a multilevel redirector that executes on a first server in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment, for performing multilevel redirection, the method comprising:
- receiving redirection data over a first remote session that is established with the first server;
- determining whether the redirection data should be routed to an agent on the first server or over a second remote session;
- and
- upon determining that the redirection data should be routed over the second remote session, sending the redirection data over the second remote session.
One or more computer storage media storing computer executable instructions which when executed in a VDI environment implement the following components:
- a proxy configured to execute on a client to establish remote sessions with a first server, the proxy being further configured to implement redirection over the remote sessions;
- an agent configured to execute on the first server to establish the remote sessions with the proxy and to establish remote sessions with an agent on a second server;
- and
- a multilevel redirector configured to execute on the first server, the multilevel redirector being configured to intercept redirection data received over remote sessions established either between the agent on the first server and the proxy or between the agent on the first server and the agent on the second server, the multilevel redirector being further configured to selectively route redirection data received over a first remote session to either the agent on the first server or over a second remote session.
A method, performed by a multilevel redirector that executes on a first server in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment, for performing multilevel redirection, the method comprising:
- receiving first redirection data over a first remote session that is established between a client and the first server;
- detecting that a second remote session has been established between the first server and a second server within the first remote session;
- and
- routing the first redirection data over the second remote session to the second server.
