Htd.cfg redirect

[dc2008]

I am trying to redirect all my web connections to a specific connection file. E.g.

When I enter https://example.com:4443 it should be redirected to https://example.com:4443/nxwebplayer?desktop

Obviously the current (default) config redirects https://example.com:4443 to https://example.com:4443/nxwebplayer

 

Is this possible?? what do I have to change in the htd.cfg file?

As an extension to this, is it possible to redirect https://example.com straight to https://example.com:4443/nxwebplayer?desktop

Hi dc2008,

Yes it is possible, you will have to change htd.cfg:

from:

”

<VirtualHost _default_:*>

RewriteEngine on

ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^4443$

RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_ADDR}:4443/nxwebplayer [R,L]

</VirtualHost>

”

to

”

<VirtualHost _default_:*>

RewriteEngine on

ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^4443$

RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_ADDR}:4443/nxwebplayer?desktop [R,L]

</VirtualHost>

”

exactly this line:

”

RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_ADDR}:4443/nxwebplayer?desktop [R,L]

”

it will redirect from

 

https://example.com:4080

https://example.com:4443

 

to

https://example.com:4443/nxwebplayer?desktop

 

In case if you want to make the redirection from the default port (80), to have the redirection from

https://example.com to https://example.com:4443/nxwebplayer?desktop

 

You will have to add listening nxhtd on 80 port.

Edit htd.cfg file and add those lines:

 

”

Listen 0.0.0.0:80

”

 

Make sure that there isn’t any other service listening on that port, before making such a change.

 

However, there is one thing you should know when doing all of this: when you redirect or simply type by hand in browser’s URL:

” https://example.com:4443/nxwebplayer?desktop ”

the Web Player will try to load ‘desktop.nxs’ connection file, as described in

https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00160

Thanks for your response.

Yes that’s great i am looking for the desktop.nxs file to load.

I have changed the line exactly as you advise, restarted nxserver but the redirect is still just taking me to https://example.com:4443/nxwebplayer

Were you able to get this working? Is there any other config i have to update or refresh?

Any help appreciated

There was a typo in Bilbotine’s reply.

it will redirect from

https://example.com:4080

https://example.com:4443

It should be

http://example.com:4080
https://example.com:4443

 

For a working redirection of  https://example.com:4443 to https://example.com:4443/nxwebplayer?desktop, can you try this?

Edit htd.cfg and make changes from:

"
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:4443>
  ServerAdmin you@example.com

  SSLEngine on

  SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
" 

to look like:

"
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:4443>
  ServerAdmin you@example.com

  RewriteEngine On

  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\?desktop$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/nxwebplayer?desktop$
  RewriteRule ^/?(.*)/$ /$1/nxwebplayer?desktop [L,R]

  SSLEngine on

  SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
"

When making any changes in htd.cfg nxhtd has to be stopped first with:

# /etc/NX/nxserver --stop nxhtd

– and after the change restarted using:

# /etc/NX/nxserver --start nxhtd

[ paths are examples on Linux ]

Yep works great, i had to make a very slight change otherwise i got 2 “//” mid url:

 

 RewriteRule ^/?(.*)/$ /$1/nxwebplayer?desktop [L,R]

to

 RewriteRule ^/?(.*)/$ $1/nxwebplayer?desktop [L,R]

 

Thank you for your help
