Host your Windows applications on AWS and run Desktop apps online

Publishing your application is very easy, there are just a few steps you have to follow.

Thinfinity® VirtualUI is a great solution to host your Windows-based applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and provide web access to multiple concurrent users.

While AWS allows you to enable multiple concurrent users to access to EC2 instances, Thinfinity® VirtualUI permits you to publish your Win32 apps to be accessed within a browser window.

This article covers many programming languages and app types, like C++, C#, Delphi, VB.NET, VB6, Windev, MS Access, Visual FoxPro and Visual FoxPro 9 (among others).

Tips to start:

1) Be sure you already have an .EXE file of your application compiled with Thinfinity® VirtualUI Libraries. New to VirtualUI? Just visit our Tutorial Page to find examples and guides for your current application language/project.

2) Also, we recommend you to test your application on a local environment before you go to the cloud. If you haven’t done yet, you can give this other tutorial a quick look:

https://www.cybelesoft.com/blog/how-to-virtualize-applications/
After you cover those steps locally, you’ll be ready to publish the app on your AWS instances.
Run Desktop apps online with VirtualUI and AWS

Thinfinity® VirtualUI will listen on port 6580 by default but you can change it to any available port. To verify the current port selected, open the Thinfinity® VirtualUI Server Manager:

Host your Windows applications on AWS and provide web access to multiple concurrent users

With this information, we can now go to AWS portal and open the port for Thinfinity® VirtualUI:

1. Go to the ‘Security Groups’ tab:

Host your Windows applications on AWS and provide web access to multiple concurrent users

2. Create a new Security Group:

Host your Windows applications on AWS and provide web access to multiple concurrent users

3. Add the port you configured in the Thinfinity® VirtualUI Server Manager (in this case we will use the default, ‘6580’ but you can set up any free port):

Host your Windows applications on AWS and provide web access to multiple concurrent users

4. Now select the Security Group on your VM. To do so right click on the VM and go to “Networking > Change Security Groups”.

Host your Windows applications on AWS and provide web access to multiple concurrent users

Last but not least, make sure port 6580 is also open on the Windows Firewall in the VM. You can add an inbound rule to be sure. In order to do so:

1. Run “wf.msc” to open Windows Firewall:

Host your Windows applications on AWS and provide web access to multiple concurrent users

2. Create a new inbound rule:

Host your Windows applications on AWS and provide web access to multiple concurrent users

3. Select Port and hit “Next”

4. Make sure “TPC” is selected and add the specific port. If you have the default port configured in Thinfinity® VirtualUI Server Manager just enter “6480” and hit “Next”.

5. Select “Allow all connections” and press “Next”.

6. Ensure “Public” is checked and press “Next”.

7. Add a name and description and press “Next.

Finally, you should be able to reach and run your Windows application over the internet from any browser!

Send an email from outlook or open a second application using OpenLinkDlg

Send an email from outlook or open a second application using OpenLinkDlg

In this tutorial, we will learn some of the use cases of our VirtualUI OpenLinkDlg method that allows you to display a popup with a button to open a web link.
In order to explain how this works, we’ll show you two of the most common use cases we have seen among our users. You can download this C# demo application and integrate it with Thinfinity Virtual UI
Thinfinity VirtualUI Open Link
One of the use cases involves the mailto: HTML email link expression. On the other hand we’ll be using this method to call a second VirtualUI application under a different browser tab.
About the mailto reference.
By clicking on a “Send E-Mail” button you’ll be triggering the Open Link Dlg method which will open the end-user default email client and a new message we’ll be ready to be written with some of it’s fields pre-populated. These fields may vary from Sender, Subject Line and Email Body up to CC and BCC.
In the example below, we’ll be telling the end-user browser to open their default mail application, and prepare to send an email to both, mail@anymail.com and mail@2ndmail.com addresses, followed by doing a CC on mail@copymail.com and a BCC over mail@bccmail.com and finally the Email Subject and it’s Body.
Click on the following example and test it for yourself:
mailto:mail@anymail.com;mail@2ndmail.com?cc=mail@copymail.com&bcc=mail@bccmail.com&subject=Subject%20Test&body=Body%20Test
Thinfinity VirtualUI Open Link
As you can see, we have mailto: pointing to both, mail@anymail.com and mail@2ndmail.com separated by a Semicolon (;) and finishing the recipients field with a Question Mark (?). Followed by it we have the CC and right away we have the BCC separated in this case with an Ampersand (&). We can notice the same thing when separating the BCC from the Subject, and the Subject, from the Body. Also, as you may have noticed, you can add spaces by writing %20 in the text of the subject or body.
This is a simple process and if you do some research you can even find some online mailto generators. Now we can follow to the next example:
Open a second application with VUI’s OpenLinkDlg method.
Sometimes users need to open more than 1 application through VirtualUI on their browsers, and if you want your users to open your VirtualUI applications by doing just 1 single click, then the OpenLinkDlg method can be very useful for you.
Click on this link to download a second C# demo application to try this case.
Here you just need to know the direct link (URL) to the VirtualUI application you’ll be calling. Most of the times the URL is the same as the name of the VirtualUI profile pointing to that application (default behaviour), but you can change this if you edit the Virtual Path of your profile.
Here you can find a screenshot of the Profile we’ll be using today and it’s Virtual Path highlighted.
Thinfinity VirtualUI Open Link
By knowing our application Virtual Path, we can point our browser to our VirtualUI Server Address and load the application directly without visiting our landing page. In our case, we’ll be pointing the browser to the http://localhost:6580/EMM/ address.
The OpenLinkDlg Method.
You can implement this method easily calling it through the Virtual UI instantiated class and then using the OpenLinkDlg method passing two parameters:
Thinfinity VirtualUI Open Link
So the first parameter is for the virtual path of any other application web enabled with virtual UI. The second parameter is for the message you want to show to the end user on the dialog that will come up to access the second application if the browser doesn’t open the second application automatically.
Thinfinity VirtualUI Open Link

How to Cut the VPN Cord with the Thinfinity Clientless WebVPN

Clientless WebVPN is here to stay


So here is the problem.  Your users still need access to your company’s intranet sites and internal web applications while working from remote workspaces.  The provisional solution until recently has been VPN, which is irksome to deploy and opens your network to exploitable vulnerabilities.   Why connect your users to the corporate LAN when all they need is to access a URL?  Thinfinity is the new permanent solution to this conundrum.

The principle of least privilege security

With the proliferation of cyber threats today from an increasing number of global threat actors, it’s more important than ever to enact the principle of least privilege (PoLP) across your IT estate.  

PoLP states that users should be allotted minimum levels of access to perform their job functions.  So why give remote users direct connection access to your entire corporate LAN? All they need is to pull up a company intranet web page or a single web application. 

Using the Web VPN feature of Thinfinity, users no longer need to obtain a VPN connection.  Now their access can be limited to the specific intranet web assets that you specify.  

Clientless VPN access means fewer problems and maintenance

Internal IT departments are stretched enough as it is today.  The last thing they need is another client app to support.  Unlike VPN solutions that require the deployment of a client app that must then be supported, maintained, and updated, the Web VPN feature of Thinfinity doesn’t require a client.  In fact, there is nothing to install.  Simply whitelist the domain(s) you need to provide access to, and it will securely forward this connection to the end user’s HTML5 browser.

This image exemplifies how a clientless WEB VPN is configured with Thinfinity® Remote Workspace.
This image exemplifies how a WEB VPN is configured with Thinfinity® Remote Workspace.

 

Escape the problematic nature of VPN

There are a lot of moving parts within a VPN solution.  There is the VPN server and the installed local VPN app that is required on each client.  Then there are multiple protocols that must function correctly together.  The connected VPN clients must then obtain an IP address from the corporate network and there can be multiple firewalls and access lists to contend with across the connection.

Thinfinity is simple.

Users only require an HTML browser on their internet-connected device using simple web access. If your users can access the web, they can access anything hosted within your company’s internal domain. It really is that simple.

Reduce the threat of hackers and external threat actors

Why do hackers actively target company VPN systems?  Because once a VPN is compromised, an outside attacker now has potential access to your entire IT estate. This includes servers and your file storage repositories.  A compromised VPN connection is an open door into your network! 

With Thinfinity, you can be assured that those doors remain locked. No additional ports are required to access internal resources using Thinfinity.

The days of Legacy VPN are over

Security and simplicity can exist in one package.  With Thinfinity, burdensome VPN solutions are a thing of the past.  Our new web-based VPN has no client to install or maintain, so there’s no dependency. Remote users can easily attain access to the published applications and websites that are only accessible from within the internal domain itself.  

Whether it’s an intranet website, an internal ERP solution, or an internally hosted web application, your users will be able to easily access them, while also abiding by least privilege security standards. 

 Thinfinity Remote Workspace grants you VPN-like access, without the hassle of a traditional VPN.

Thinfinity® is Designed for a Graphics Intensive Applications

Thinfinity® is Designed for a Graphics Intensive Applications

In this new era of hybrid work, users expect a desktop experience with high-caliber graphic performance capabilities regardless of location. Without a way to service graphics-intensive applications or provide visual clarity to the remote human experience, hybrid work strategies cannot reach their desired and necessary potential.  That’s why Cybele Software’s Engineers set out to fill the expectations gap of remote computing.  The result is our newest version of Thinfinity that ensures remote delivery of GPU heavyweight applications over thousand-mile distances.  

Thinfinity and the H264 Protocol

Thinfinity® has always been known for application publishing and workspace delivery through a modern web browser.

So, how do you deliver HD-like experiences through a remote web browser session?  Without getting too technical, it requires the use of encoders that convert video or large graphic files into a compressed format that are then decompressed by a corresponding decoder on the other end. These encoders and decoders are referred to as codecs. While it is common to find support for BMP, JPG, and PNG coders, Thinfinity® is one of the only application publishing solutions that offers native H.264 capability.  

H.264 is considered the industry standard for video compression. While Thinfinity® utilizes Bitmap codecs by default, H.264 is automatically enabled when needed to deliver high-quality video at very low data rates. The result is a fluid local-like experience for today’s modern-day users, even when utilizing intense GPU applications and processes.

Thinfinity® Delivers the Right Experience

Thinfinity® is ideal for any user that needs an HD-like experience when working remotely. Through its effective employment of the H.264 protocol, digital marketing professionals can work with graphic-intensive applications and file structures to create elaborate presentations, regardless of experience. Engineers and architects can have on-demand access to their cloud-hosted applications using a simple HTML5 web browser while working from any internet-connected device. When it comes to online virtual conferencing, Thinfinity® takes it to the next level, giving salespeople the ability to read the audience in the same manner as if everyone was seated at the same table.

Conclusion

While there was a time when graphic and video performance was reluctantly sacrificed for remote work environments, that is no longer the case thanks to the Thinfinity’s proprietary use of H.264 technology. Find out how Thinfinity® passes the eye test, while also meeting the expected demands of your most stringent users. Seeing is indeed believing, which is why we encourage you to see it for yourself by requesting a free 30-day trial of Thinfinity® yourself. H.264 feature is currently available for Thinfinity Remote Desktop and Thinfinity Remote Workspace.

Thinfinity® Remote Workspace Secondary Broker (Multi Cloud support): How to install and configure

Today we’ll learn how to install and configure a secondary broker. A Secondary Broker is in charge of creating the final server process that connects the user to the remote desktop. These nodes may be used for delivering virtual desktops (running on the public cloud or on premises environments) and balancing the access among single desktops or terminal servers.

To use a secondary broker, which is triggered by a registry key, you will have to install the broker services first and then edit a registry key to change its behavior. Below you will find a step by step on how to configure this:

First of all, execute the Thinfinity Remote Workspace Installer. Accept the License Agreement, and then click on “Next”: 

 

 

Select the “Broker and HTML5 Services” option and click on “Next”:

 

 

Select the Installation destination folder and click on “Next”:

 

 

Now, click on “Install” to install the Thinfinity Remote Workspace components.

 

How to Enable the Secondary Broker Option.

Open the registry (run: regedit) and search the following directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cybele Software\Thinfinity\Workspace

Double-click on BrokerRole and replace the value primary for secondary.

 

 

Configure the Pool, NetworkID, and Gateway

Open the Thinfinity Remote Workspace (Start/ Thinfinity/ Thinfinity Configuration Manager), and configure the required parameters (Pool, NetworkId, and Gateway URL).

Pool: Use this parameter to specify the pool that the secondary broker will use.

Network ID: Use this parameter to specify the Network environment that the secondary broker will use.

Gateway List: Input the URL of the Thinfinity Remote Workspace reverse Gateway. Click on “Add” and complete the URL information. Always specify the security protocol (HTTP/ HTTPS), DNS or IP and the connection port.

 (e.g. https://My_Gateway_DNS:443)

Finally, click on “Apply” to save the changes.

You can click on “Show Log” to verify the status of the connection and ensure it is registering with the reverse Gateway.

Now that we have the secondary broker installed and configured we can continue configuring the primary broker server.
If you missed how to install Thinfinity Remote Workspace, please check the Thinfinity Workspace Administrator’s Guide.

First thing, we need to ensure that the primary broker shares the same NetworkID as the secondary broker, and that both are registered to the same reverse gateway.

Once the above is verified, we can open the primary broker manager to ad

d this pool / secondary broker. In order to do so, start the Thinfinity’s Configuration Manager.

Click add in the “General” tab, below the “Secondary broker” box:

In the ‘Pool Name’ field, enter the name you gave to the pool in the secondary broker and click OK:

Now we will be able to create an ‘Access Profile’ that will start a connection to this pool. 

Remember, you will be able to create ‘RDP’, ‘VNC’ and ‘SSH/Telnet’ connections using this option.

Now, we will show you how to configure an RDP connection. 

Go to the ‘Access Profile’ tab and click ‘Add > RDP’

For this example, we’ll assume we are connecting to ClassRoom ‘A’. So we will just call it “ClassRoom A”.

The computer address/IP will always be localhost (127.0.0.1), given that the connection will end on the secondary broker, we want the connection to be established on that location.

To instruct the profile which secondary broker it has to connect to, we just need to specify the pool name in the ‘Broker Pool’ field, as shown below

 

Finally, click on ‘OK’ and then ‘Apply’. 

Congratulations, you configured your first secondary broker! Now you should be able to navigate to your Gateway’s URL and test the connection to this newly added pool.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this blog entry, please leave a comment below.

How to effectively handle interactive Windows sessions with Thinfinity® VirtualUI

How to effectively handle interactive Windows sessions with Thinfinity® VirtualUI

This article will explain in detail and show you how to effectively configure and define interactive Windows sessions for Thinfinity VirtualUI, our development platform that allows you to take any existing Desktop Application and publish it as a web solution.

Thinfinity VirtualUI is compatible and can run on standard Microsoft Windows versions and Microsoft Windows Server editions. Find the list of supported operating systems below:

Operating Systems:

• Microsoft Windows Desktop 8 32­bit / 64­bit
• Microsoft Windows Desktop 10 32­bit / 64­bit
• Microsoft Windows Desktop 11
• Microsoft Windows Server 2012
• Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2
• Microsoft Windows Server 2016
• Microsoft Windows Server 2019
• Microsoft Windows Server 2022

However, based on the type of operating system you are using, the system services available at your disposal might alter the configuration requirements of your Thinfinity VirtualUI environment.

Microsoft Windows Desktop versions (Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows 8) support one interactive Windows Session at a time. You can switch interactive sessions using the “Fast User Switch (FUS)” feature, leaving one session disconnected while accessing another one using the same user.

In contrast, Microsoft Windows Server provides -by default- two interactive administrative sessions, available from a console and RDP at the same time. This factor will determine the main difference between the available modes when configuring Thinfinity VirtualUI sessions.

Thinfinity VirtualUI requires at least one interactive Windows Session. By default, it uses the console session*, sharing this session among all connected users.

You can also run Thinfinity VirtualUI under an alternate Windows session by configuring one session per user or evenly distributing users among several Windows sessions.

*The console session is what you see when you look at a monitor that’s plugged into the server. Normally with RDP you get your own session that is not the same as what’s shown on the server’s own monitor.

Shared Windows Session

By default, Thinfinity VirtualUI comes with the Shared Windows Session option selected. VirtualUI uses the console session to establish all connections under the same session.

 

shared windows sessions with Thinfinity VirtualUI

 

This mode is particularly useful for Microsoft Windows Desktop users looking to use the single console session available at their disposal. It is also very convenient for integration and testing phases, which will allow several users to connect and perform all the necessary tests on the integrated application. All application instances will be generated under the same user session while simultaneously retaining an active connection to the developer or administrator session. The developer can troubleshoot or check logs while the users use the integrated application through the web browser.

Note: Based on the available system resources, application requirements, and the number of concurrent users, performance on this mode can be slightly degraded. If you are experiencing issues, we strongly suggest switching to One Browser per Session mode.

One Browser per Session

This option allows executions on the integrated application under individual Windows Sessions. Thinfinity VirtualUI allows selecting a specific user administrator account responsible for executing a session each time there is a connection attempt.

Here lies the main difference between Microsoft Windows versions in use. As previously mentioned, the number of interactive sessions available will be a determining factor that influences the way Thinfinity VirtualUI works on each operating system.

 

shared windows sessions with Thinfinity VirtualUI

 

Microsoft Windows Desktop

By default, Microsoft Windows Desktop comes with one interactive session. Only one session can be active simultaneously; thus, all new connections attempted under the same user account will disconnect existing sessions.

In a testing scenario, developers like to keep their sessions active. Active sessions are beneficial for reviewing logs or troubleshooting purposes. However, new connection attempts from remote users might temporarily disconnect the developer’s session.

 

Microsoft Windows Server

The One browser per session option works great with Microsoft Windows Server. This Windows version, by default, comes with two interactive sessions allowing for simultaneous remote and local connections. Developers/administrators can retain connectivity to the server while users remotely connect to the integrated application.

We strongly recommend using Thinfinity VirtualUI in conjunction with Microsoft Windows Server edition for Production environments. This additional RDS session provides more flexibility and improves performance for developers and users alike.

If you would like to learn more about Sessions on VirtualUI, you can also check our documentation.

Please leave any questions or remarks in the comments section below. We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Application Virtualization: deliver any app in the browser with Thinfinity Remote Workspace

The need for application virtualization has grown during the past two years, and it demands quick but solid workarounds.

We will take advantage of Microsoft RemoteApp, which allows users to see and interact with a single application and not the entire desktop, and we will virtualize this application with Thifnity Remote Workspace.

In this way, the users will be able to access the remote app we’ve published using any web browser, just as if they were running it on their local device. 

As you will see in this guide, there’s no need to have any programming skills or make modifications to the Windows application source code to accomplish it. The only requisite is to previously install Windows Server with Remote Desktop Services.

We recommend checking your environment before you start following this tutorial, ad we will be happy to help if you need assistance on this particular. Contact our tech team for further guidance.

 

STEP BY STEP GUIDE:

  1. First, you need to open the Thinfinity® Configuration Manager:

AutoCAD is one of the most used programs by architects,  industrial designers and students in order to design their projects. At the same time, its license costs make it an expensive option for many educational programs. Learn how you can solve this by publishing it as a RemoteApp with Thinfinity® Remote Workspace.

AutoCAD is a software widely used by architects, engineers, industrial designers and students. Although there is a Web App version of AutoCAD, it does not have all the functionalities of the Desktop version. At the same time, due to its high licenses costs, it may be too expensive to offer it to large number of professors and students.

This challenge -as complex as it seems- can be solved by publishing a RemoteApp with Thinfinity Remote Workspace, our all-in-one solution for application and desktop delivery. With Thinfinity Remote Workspace, you can publish AutoCAD to the web in just a few minutes.

What is a RemoteApp?

RemoteApp is a feature of Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Services that allows individual programs to run remotely using a Remote Desktop Client. Instead of accessing the entire remote desktop, RemoteApp allows users to see and interact with just the application as if they were running on the end-user’s device.

You don’t need to have any programming skills or make any modification to the Windows application source code to accomplish it.

How to publish a RemoteApp with Thinfinity Remote Workspace?

Thinfinity Remote Workspace is the first integrated solution to access applications, desktops, data, from a unified portal. With Thinfinity Remote Workspace, you can enable remote access to ALL your apps, desktops, and files on any device.

Installing it for the first time is pretty simple. There are just a few items you have to take into account. You can check the Thinfinity Remote Workspace’s installation steps here.

Once you complete the installation process, open the Thinfinity® Configuration Manager:

IMPORTANT: If you get an access denied error, please follow this instructions.

If you get an access denied error, you would need to enable a group policy to allow unlisted programs to be started. To this end, open the ‘Group Policy Editor’ by going to ‘Start > Run > gpedit.msc’:

On the ‘Group Policy Editor’ navigate to:
‘Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections > Allow users to connect remotely by using Remote Desktop Services’

Double click on this policy and then click on the check-box next to ‘Enabled’:
