Connect method

Connect method
The 'connect' method creates a remote desktop connection to the remote machine and positions it on the specified html structure. In order to do so, it expects a JSON argument in which all the connection settings should be informed.
If you want to understand exactly how each JSON parameter will reflect on the connection, read the next topics:
​Placement parameters​
​Destination and authentication Parameters​
​Settings parameters​
​Features parameters​
​Events parameters​
​Toolbar customization parameters​
Right below you will find a code excerpt showing the connect method and all its possible parameters set. Note: they should not be used all at the same time, because each environment will require different parameters:
· The Placement parameters may be required or not, depending on the connection mode (remote or local).
· The Destination and Authentication parameters will be required depending on the authentication mode set on Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Server manager.
· The rest of the parameters (Settings, Features, Events and Toolbar Customization) are optional and should be sent whenever you need to change a determined Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Server behaviour or enable and configure its features.
