Apikey

The ApiKey is a secret value, known only by ThinRDP Workstation and the external application that connects to it.

By sending the apikey, the external application is identifying itself as trusted.

The ApiKey is a configurable value. It is set in the ThinRDP ini configuration file. The location of this file depends on the Windows version ThinRDP is running at:

Windows 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cybele Software\ThinRDP\ThinRDP.ini

Windows 2008: C:\ProgramData\Cybele Software\ThinRDP\ThinRDP.ini

Inside the ini file, the apikey information should be appended following the format below:

[API]

Key = 3884F316-3429-49A0-9282-AF0C52B62107

Ips = 192.168.0.22; ...

You should use a personal value for the apikey setting, as long as it follows the pattern shown above and matches the value send by the external application to authenticate against ThinRDP.

Do not use this value shown above, once this content is public on the internet.

Filter access. Grant access to a set of desired ips by adding them in the 'Ips' parameter. This will restrict the rest of ips from connecting.

If the apikey does not exist in the ini configuration file, the server won't be able to authenticate using this method.
