Alexander could you see if this needs updated for 5.3? It's not working for me and just wanted to check its right before digging in. I think the references to Elsinore need removed?

Yeah, just removing the "Elsinore." in the usings and the Uri should make it work.

Ya I was able to get this working with 5.3 last night. Remove Elsinore references and change Bin/ScreenConnect.WindowsClient.application to Bin/ScreenConnect.Client.application was required, at least for me.

How could I change the LaunchHostClient.ashx file so that users who are limited to only joining sessions in certain session groups can connect to those groups? Currently they don't have permissions to the "All Machines" group because I don't want them to be able to see or connect to all machines but the way this handler is setup they can't connect to the ones that they do have permissions to either. I would still need users who do have permission to "All Machines" to be able to connect accordingly.

TIA

ScreenConnector's Service.ashx can handle that better:

Code:
using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Linq;
using Elsinore.ScreenConnect;

public class Service : WebServiceBase
{
	public object GetLaunchUrl(string sessionName)
	{
		var permissionEntries = Permissions.GetEntriesForUser();
		Permissions.AssertAnyPermission(permissionEntries);

		var sessionFilter = ServerExtensions.GetExpression("Name", "=", sessionName);
		var relayUri = ServerExtensions.GetRelayUri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings, HttpContext.Current.Request.Url, true, true);
		var userDisplayName = FormsAuthenticationModule.GetUserDisplayNameWithFallback(HttpContext.Current.User);
		var variables = ServerExtensions.GetStandardVariables(userDisplayName);
		var handlerUrl = ServerExtensions.GetWebServerUri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings, HttpContext.Current.Request.Url, true, true) + WebConfigurationManager.GetHandlerPath(typeof(ClickOnceDirectHandler)).ReplaceFirst("*", WebResources.GetString("FileDownload.BaseName"));
		
		return
			(from session in SessionManagerPool.Demux.GetSessions(sessionFilter)
			from groupContainingSession in SessionManagerPool.Demux.GetSessionGroupsContainingSession(session.SessionID, variables)
			where Permissions.HasPermission(new SessionPermissionRequest { Name = PermissionInfo.ViewSessionGroupPermission, SessionType = session.SessionType, SessionGroupName = groupContainingSession }, permissionEntries)
			let sessionPermissions = PermissionInfo.GetSessionPermissions(permissionEntries, session.SessionType, groupContainingSession, session.Host == userDisplayName)
			select new ClientLaunchParameters
			{
				Host = relayUri.Host,
				Port = relayUri.Port,
				EncryptionKey = ServerCryptoManager.Instance.PublicKey,
				SessionType = session.SessionType,
				SessionID = session.SessionID,
				ProcessType = ProcessType.Host,
				SessionTitle = session.Name,
				AccessToken = ServerCryptoManager.Instance.GetAccessToken(session.SessionID, ProcessType.Host, userDisplayName, sessionPermissions, default(DateTime)),
			})
			.FirstOrDefault()
			.SafeNav(clp => handlerUrl + ClientLaunchParameters.ToQueryString(clp));
	}
}

I take that back, I haven't been able to get this working with the screenconnect service.ashx, I think it may have been caching some stuff is why I thought it was working. I think using the service.ashx would require several changes to how I am currently connecting. I'm just a lowly system/network admin and not a programmer so I don't have the skills to make these changes so I'm just going to post what I know here and maybe someone else will want to do the same thing some day as I realize I may be asking too much for Alexander to spoon feed me.

I could also just call screenconnector.exe directly with the required parameters but it requires a different encryption method, there is a utility here http://forum.screenconne...ws-taskbar.aspx#post6553 for hashing the passwords but as I am generating the commands to launch the session on the fly via powershell that isn't helping for my case as I haven't been able to find any documentation of a powershell way to encrypt with .NET ProtectData.Protect method.

Im also limited to a 500 character limit by a database field, this is what my PS command looks like when using LaunchHostClient.ashx and it works great other than the session group permission issue. I know that the service.ashx expects a different format of data but I haven't been able to figure out what that would be either. For now I will just have to use this and will be happy enough.

Code:
$F=$env:USERPROFILE+'\SCCreds.xml';$E=Test-Path $F;if($E -eq $false){get-credential|EXPORT-CLIXML $F};$c=IMPORT-CLIXML $F;$a=$c.GetNetworkCredential().password;$r=invoke-webrequest -uri http://sc.fqdn.com/LHC.ashx?ID=$GUID -Headers @{"Authorization"='Basic '+[System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($c.username+':'+$a))};Invoke-Expression 'rundll32 dfshim.dll,ShOpenVerbApplication $r.content'


I got the powershell here http://www.labtechgeek.c...topic.php?f=3&t=1078

Also from the above thread the LaunchHostClient.ashx that I am using has been modified to allow opening sessions with the sessionID instead of by name as the name is not always unique for many in the msp business. I think I may be able to get the service.ashx working for my needs if I knew how to smash it and the launchhostclient.ashx together :)

Code:
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="LaunchHostClient" %>
  
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Configuration;
using ScreenConnect;
 
public class LaunchHostClient : IHttpHandler
{
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        Permissions.AssertPermission(PermissionInfo.JoinSessionPermission, false);
         
        var sessionID = context.Request.QueryString["ID"];
        var relayUri = ServerExtensions.GetRelayUri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings, HttpContext.Current.Request.Url, true, true);
 
        using (var sessionManager = ServiceChannelPool<ISessionManagerChannel>.Instance.Borrow())
        {
            var sessionSummary = sessionManager.GetSessions("All Machines", new Dictionary<string, string>(), null).First(ss => ss.SessionID.ToString() == sessionID);
 
            var clp = new ClientLaunchParameters();
            clp.Host = relayUri.Host;
            clp.Port = relayUri.Port;
            clp.SessionID = sessionSummary.SessionID;
            clp.ProcessType = ProcessType.Host;
            clp.EncryptionKey = ServerCryptoManager.Instance.PublicKey;
            clp.AccessToken = ServerCryptoManager.Instance.GetAccessToken(clp.SessionID, clp.ProcessType, context.User.Identity.Name, SessionPermissions.HostWithoutRemoteConsent | SessionPermissions.RunSharedTool | SessionPermissions.TransferFiles | SessionPermissions.ManageSharedToolbox, DateTime.MinValue);
 
            clp.SessionTitle = sessionSummary.Name;
 
            var url = new Uri(context.Request.Url, "Bin/ScreenConnect.Client.application" + ClientLaunchParameters.ToQueryString(clp));
            context.Response.Write(url.AbsoluteUri);
        }
    }
 
    public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } }
}

In case you haven't seen it, there's a modified launch.cmd for ScreenConnector's Service.ashx at the bottom of the previous page of this thread; it uses a different url format, and returns quotes around the output that have to be removed.

Smashing the two files together shouldn't be too difficult either, though; I haven't tested it, but I believe this would work:
Code:
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="LaunchHostClient" %>

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Configuration;
using ScreenConnect;

public class LaunchHostClient : IHttpHandler
{
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
        var permissionEntries = Permissions.GetEntriesForUser();
        Permissions.AssertAnyPermission(permissionEntries);
 
        var sessionFilter = ServerExtensions.GetExpression("SessionID", "=", context.Request.QueryString["ID"]);
        var relayUri = ServerExtensions.GetRelayUri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings, HttpContext.Current.Request.Url, true, true);
        var userDisplayName = FormsAuthenticationModule.GetUserDisplayNameWithFallback(HttpContext.Current.User);
        var variables = ServerExtensions.GetStandardVariables(userDisplayName);
        var handlerUrl = ServerExtensions.GetWebServerUri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings, HttpContext.Current.Request.Url, true, true) + WebConfigurationManager.GetHandlerPath(typeof(ClickOnceDirectHandler)).ReplaceFirst("*", WebResources.GetString("FileDownload.BaseName"));
         
        (from session in SessionManagerPool.Demux.GetSessions(sessionFilter)
            from groupContainingSession in SessionManagerPool.Demux.GetSessionGroupsContainingSession(session.SessionID, variables)
            where Permissions.HasPermission(new SessionPermissionRequest { Name = PermissionInfo.ViewSessionGroupPermission, SessionType = session.SessionType, SessionGroupName = groupContainingSession }, permissionEntries)
            let sessionPermissions = PermissionInfo.GetSessionPermissions(permissionEntries, session.SessionType, groupContainingSession, session.Host == userDisplayName)
            select new ClientLaunchParameters
            {
                Host = relayUri.Host,
                Port = relayUri.Port,
                EncryptionKey = ServerCryptoManager.Instance.PublicKey,
                SessionType = session.SessionType,
                SessionID = session.SessionID,
                ProcessType = ProcessType.Host,
                SessionTitle = session.Name,
                AccessToken = ServerCryptoManager.Instance.GetAccessToken(session.SessionID, ProcessType.Host, userDisplayName, sessionPermissions, default(DateTime)),
            })
            .FirstOrDefault()
            .SafeDo(clp => context.Response.Write(new Uri(handlerUrl + ClientLaunchParameters.ToQueryString(clp))));
}

public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } }
}

Thank you so much for continuing to help me with this. I did see the launch.cmd, I was able to get that to work after getting a different curl.exe that included ssl support, but due to the limitations in the program im using I don't know how to incorporate using curl without passing credentials in plaintext.

The new LaunchHostClient.ashx file you posted is exactly what I need and it is very near working! I have tested it a lot to try eliminate user error, but for some reason this file is returning the &k= key back in a different format than the original LHC file did and this gives an error of "Bad Length" when i launch the downloaded client.application, everything else looks right though. The &k= key returned is a bit shorter and has some characters in it like + and / that are not in the key returned by the original. At first glance it looked like the key is just not in a url encoded format but encoding it causes the client.application to crash on launch.

Hmm, looks like it's that .AbsoluteUri that makes it be encoded properly; putting that after new Uri(handlerUrl + ClientLaunchParameters.ToQueryString(clp)) should make it work.

I have been using this and it is working great. I have an issue with the consent permissions though. When connecting to machines that require consent this seems to bypass that permission and I can connect without consent when I should not be able to.

Hmm, that might be the same issue mentioned here; they were needing consent when they shouldn't have, while you don't need it when you should, but I suspect the underlying cause is the same.

*Edit* One of my in house guys, lemtargatwing, was able to figure out that "var userDisplayName" needs to be "string userDisplayName" in 5.6.

Looks like LaunchHostClient.ashx might be broken with 5.6?

Changing ServerExtensions.GetStandardVariables(userDisplayName) to ServerExtensions.GetStandardVariables(HttpContext.Current.User) should fix that.

I've recently run into the same scenario - a need to frequently access a computer installed as Unattended Support, AND "My Unattended Computers" (MUCs). To appease many, we created a 30-second countdown window wherein the supported user must "consent to control". It's a nice option, but we've tweaked our config so that we can immediately access the handful of computers we've installed as MUCs.

It would've been nice if the ScreenConnector would see that, based on our credentials, that it's okay to let us straight through to those odd MUCs.

Any chance this is now a feature implemented in the 3 years since the above, last post?

Hi all,

Also running into this situation where a direct connection link/script is needed. Newly screen-connect member so first time mucking around the software.

I've followed through this post and tried BOTH LaunchHostClient.ashx and Service.ashx

Currently I am getting a "Value does not fall within the expected range"

Any help is greatly appreciated! thanks guys!

Stack Trace :
Code:

[ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.]

@jaywonnng
It looks like your Service.ashx and LaunchHostClient.ashx are the same, and that they match the combined functions of both smashed together version of both that Alexander helped me out with further up this page. I'm still using that same file today with 6.3 and it is working, I use powershell in my function but I was able to get it working with curl as well.

LaunchHostClient.ashx
Code:
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="LaunchHostClient" %>
 
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Configuration;
using ScreenConnect;
 
public class LaunchHostClient : IHttpHandler
{
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
        var permissionEntries = Permissions.GetEntriesForUser();
        Permissions.AssertAnyPermission(permissionEntries);
  
        var sessionFilter = ServerExtensions.GetExpression("SessionID", "=", context.Request.QueryString["ID"]);
        var relayUri = ServerExtensions.GetRelayUri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings, HttpContext.Current.Request.Url, true, true);
        var userDisplayName = FormsAuthenticationModule.GetUserDisplayNameWithFallback(HttpContext.Current.User);
        var variables = ServerExtensions.GetStandardVariables(HttpContext.Current.User);
        var handlerUrl = ServerExtensions.GetWebServerUri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings, HttpContext.Current.Request.Url, true, true) + WebConfigurationManager.GetHandlerPath(typeof(ClickOnceDirectHandler)).ReplaceFirst("*", WebResources.GetString("FileDownload.BaseName"));
          
        (from session in SessionManagerPool.Demux.GetSessions(sessionFilter)
            from groupContainingSession in SessionManagerPool.Demux.GetSessionGroupsContainingSession(session.SessionID, variables)
            where Permissions.HasPermission(new SessionPermissionRequest { Name = PermissionInfo.ViewSessionGroupPermission, SessionType = session.SessionType, SessionGroupName = groupContainingSession }, permissionEntries)
            let sessionPermissions = PermissionInfo.GetSessionPermissions(permissionEntries, session.SessionType, groupContainingSession, session.Host == userDisplayName)
            select new ClientLaunchParameters
            {
                Host = relayUri.Host,
                Port = relayUri.Port,
                EncryptionKey = ServerCryptoManager.Instance.PublicKey,
                SessionType = session.SessionType,
                SessionID = session.SessionID,
                ProcessType = ProcessType.Host,
                SessionTitle = session.Name,
                AccessToken = ServerCryptoManager.Instance.GetAccessToken(session.SessionID, ProcessType.Host, userDisplayName, sessionPermissions, default(DateTime)),
            })
            .FirstOrDefault()
            .SafeDo(clp => context.Response.Write(new Uri(handlerUrl + ClientLaunchParameters.ToQueryString(clp)).AbsoluteUri));
}
 
public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } }
}


launch.cmd

Code:
for /f %%A IN ('curl.exe -u %4:%5 https://%1:%2/LaunchHostClient.ashx?ID^=%3') DO SET URL=%%A
rundll32 dfshim.dll,ShOpenVerbApplication %URL:&=^&%


cmd

Code:
launch.cmd sc.fqdn.com port sessionid username password


Some things I ran into doing this in curl since it has been a long time since I touched this and one of them may be hanging you up as well:
if you enforce https, make sure you use https in your launch.cmd
confirm your port in the launch.cmd
authentication will fail if the user has 2 factor authentication enforced

If all else fails I would suggest using the powershell method i've posted previously as it helps to be able to dump variables out individually when troubleshooting

In LaunchHostClient.ashx, you'll need to replace

Code:
var userDisplayName = FormsAuthenticationModule.GetUserDisplayNameWithFallback(HttpContext.Current.User);


with

Code:
var userDisplayName = HttpContext.Current.User.GetUserDisplayNameWithFallback();
