How to allow user to specify their RDP destination on an APM webtop

Has anyone implemented an APM solution that allows the user to manually create their own RDP sessions once they login to the webtop? This solution does the job - https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/v11-rdp-access-via-big-ip-apm-ndashpart-2 - but it has the limitation that the user needs to logout and log back in if they want to RDP to a different host.

 

Thanks all

    i don't believe you can refresh the webtop after a login. you might be able to populate the webtop with multiple of RDP links during login, would that be a possibility or is that too much work for the user?

    Using multiple RDP links isn't an option unfortunately. The key is to allow the user to specify their own RDP host after logging in to the webtop.

    It's no possible to do what you want. Actually I openened a Request to Support for F5 to implement it. They answered that they would add that functionality but the didn't commit to any date nor told in which version.
