session id detection

[Guest Jim Reisz]

I have a windows service that binds to a port on the server and I have

several applications that will send messages for the service to process. Is

there a way that the service can detect the terminal service session that is

making the request without having to pass the session id in the request? I

will need to modify the service to work in terminal services, but would like

to avoid modifying 5 applications to pass the ts session id to the service.

The reason that I need the session id of the caller is so the service may

launch a process within their session.

 

TIA

in case of std. ip cli/srv model you are out of luck, i guess. the

ip/udp/tcp headers don't carry any session related informations.

i would suggest to extend the software, so you have a robust,

protocol-independent, TS-aware application framework.
