Connect doesn't work for Windows instances on Eucalyptus #17

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch a Eucalyptus Windows instance.
2. Right click on instance and then "Connect to Public DNS Name"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It should launch rdesktop to the instance, however it launches SSH.

Looking at the code, it expects the "platform" to begin with "windows", however 
the platform is empty for Eucalyptus images.

It would be nice to have 2 options: "SSH to instance", "RDP to instance" so at 
least the user can manually pick which one he/she wants. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

N/A

Please provide any additional information below.

All of the calls are dependent on the euca query interface. And since its only 
a hack to get windows working on eucalyptus, the windows platform is not 
supported officially and hence there is now way in knowing whether there is a 
windows/linux, while the default is Linux, or whatever.

We know of this issue but we would not be fixing this as of now. So i will hold 
this issue for the record.

Hi, your comment specifically addresses support for Windows in Eucalyptus 
correctly.

However, my suggestion could also apply to the case where I may have XRDP 
running on a Linux instance. In general it would be nice to have several 
multiple ways to easily connect to an instance.

The Hybridfox team has accepted your suggestion. We will try to implement this 
feature soon.

Hi cybrocop, I have attached an experimental build (off revision 30) of 
Hybridfox with 'windows connect' feature. This option will be available only 
when you use Eucalyptus. Please try it and give your valuable feedback. You may 
contact me directly at skimnetster@gmail.com if you prefer.

Skimnetster, sorry for the delay. This is working great, exactly what we 
needed. 

Thanks a million.
