  • receiving from a client device a request for a terminal server session;

    establishing a socket connection with a terminal server over a remote access port in response to receiving the request;

    instantiating a first protocol over the socket connection, further comprising establishing a security and authentication mechanism with the terminal server and transmitting a capabilities request to said terminal server after establishing the security and authentication mechanism;

    receiving from said terminal server a capabilities response in response to the capabilities request;

    resetting the established security and authentication mechanism by resetting a security filter and returning the terminal server to a security state before exchange of the capabilities request and the capabilities response while maintaining the socket connection;

    instantiating a second protocol over the socket connection after resetting the established security and authentication mechanism; and

    transmitting packets from said client device to said terminal server according to the second protocol and the capabilities response over the socket connection.
