Irule for RDP connection

Unfortunately the only way to really test this would be to create a connection that mimicked an RPD session, and I'm not sure that's doable via iRules at the moment. My RDP protocol foo isn't strong enough to devise a way, anyway. Given the limitations we have on forming new socket connections from within iRules, I'm not sure it's doable at the moment.

 

 

A monitor could conceivably do this if there were a way to script a connection that tested a login via the command line then automatically dumped the connection. I'd call it dicey at best, though. Monitoring the box's status or if a simple get request is returning valid data is easy enough, but simulating a full RDP login and getting a pass/fail is a little more complicated.
