webRDP Overview
webRDP is a cross-platform, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client capable of accessing Microsoft Terminal Servers, Windows Remote Desktops, and Virtual Desktop Infrastructures. The client was designed for companies and developers that want to integrate an embedded RDP client into their hosted, SaaS, and web applications.
The webRDP client is designed to operate in two modes:
- Web Client - The webRDP client will embed itself into an existing web page or web application. The configuration settings must be supplied via the web application or page.
- Stand Alone - The webRDP client displays a configurable user interface allowing the end user to provide connection and settings information.
