RDP file - age - limit usage

[Guest roger.williams.tractors@googlemail.com]

I have a web based app to issue RDP files;

140 [max] users), with only 100 [random] login accounts.

 

Thus when the user is presented with a generated RDP file, they get

the 3 options Download, save or Cancel.

 

Is there a method for aging the RDP login file, so it will only work

for a limited time - thus stopping the user from saving the file and

trying to open the same file every day?

RE: RDP file - age - limit usage

 

We implemented a secure ticketing mechanism in our web portal that makes the

connection files only valid for 30 seconds. So if a user were able to save

the encrypted connection file, it would be useless at a later date and time.

If one looks at our connection files that are delivered via Web-IT (our web

portal) they look like gibberish, and only contain information that can be

decrypted by our product.

 

This is built on ASP.Net 2.0, and not based on Microsoft's TSWeb part.

 

So is it possible, absolutely. Is it easy, I doubt it.
