Enabling terminal services through a firewall
First Claim
Patent Images
1. One or more computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions for enabling terminal services through a firewall, the computer-executable instructions comprising instructions for:
- wrapping data with an RPC-based protocol, wherein the data to be wrapped is configured according to a stream-based protocol consistent with establishing a server/client relationship;
wrapping the RPC-based protocol with HTTPS; and
passing the wrapped data through the firewall.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described that provide terminal services through a firewall. In one implementation, data is wrapped with an RPC-based protocol, wherein the data to be wrapped is configured according to a stream-based protocol consistent with establishing a server/client relationship. The RPC-based protocol is then layered over HTTPS. The wrapped data is then passed through the firewall.

9. The system configured for enabling terminal services through a firewall, comprising:
-
a client plug-in, configured for communication with a terminal service client located outside a firewall, and configured for adding RPC protocol to outgoing data and for removing the RPC protocol from incoming data; and
a service, configured to run on a proxy server located inside the firewall, and configured to reconstruct packets sent by the client plug-in and to forward them to an appropriate terminal server. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. One or more computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions for enabling terminal services through a firewall, the computer-executable instructions comprising instructions for:
-
communicating between a client plug-in, configured for operation with a terminal server client, and a service, configured for operation on a proxy server;
wrapping data sent between the client plug-in and the service with a first layer of protocol to provide access to tools and a second layer of protocol to provide security; and
passing the wrapped data through the firewall. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
