OK I have a ticket system in place at my business. It currently take my clients information and create a ticket with a work order number. I will like to have a link that will automatically create a session. For example:

User submit ticket
User receives email with link
When user click on link it will create the session and start the download.

I want them to use the same ticket number for billing purpose.

I am just manual creating them but just wondering if there is an easier way.

Yes, you can automate the creation of sessions.

Are you programming this customization yourself? Is it running inside an extension of your ticket system? What platform is that written in? .NET? Java? Windows? Linux?

Also, you may be able to take advantage of unattended system to create sessions as the Guest connects, but then you won't get the advantage of our web site that analyzes their browser for compatibility to deliver the appropriate client.

Great to hear this, you have made my day

Are you programming this customization yourself?

Yes, I will try to program this customization myself.

Is it running inside an extension of your ticket system?

I am not sure what you mean with this but I already have the ticket system in place and it runs under linux with php. I currently have two server one for tickets and another for remote session.

What platform is that written in? .NET? Java? Windows? Linux?
Linux with php

Also, you may be able to take advantage of unattended system to create sessions as the Guest connects, but then you won't get the advantage of our web site that analyzes their browser for compatibility to deliver the appropriate client.

Currently we only have a few clients that we have setup unattended. Everyone else visit the site and and enters there invitation code.

My ticket currently can generate invitation code and display it even adds it to the url.

Maybe with this you can show me an example of the script that i would need on the Screen Connect side. I can handle the php. Will I hope i can :)

Yes, that will probably be the easiest way. In your ScreenConnect install directory with all of the other files, you can create a new file to do this. Here is the source:

Code:
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="CreateSession" %>

using System;
using System.Web;

public class CreateSession : IHttpHandler
{
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        var sessionCode = context.Request.QueryString["Code"];
        
        using (var sessionManager = Elsinore.ScreenConnect.ServerExtensions.SessionManagerChannelFactory.CreateChannel())
        {
            sessionManager.CreateSession(Elsinore.ScreenConnect.InvitationType.Code, sessionCode, "System");
        }
    }

    public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } }
}


Name the file CreateSession.ashx (attached as .txt). Create a session by going to http://yourscreenconnectsite/CreateSession.ashx?Code=mycode

Let me know how this works for you.
File Attachment(s):
CreateSession.txt (1kb) downloaded 57 time(s).

I tried this but it does not work it gives me error message
Code:

<script runat="server">
    void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (string.Compare(this.Request.Url.AbsolutePath, "/foo/p1.aspx", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0)
        {
            this.Response.Redirect("/foo/p2.aspx", true);   
        }
    }
</script>


and

Code:

'Response.Redirect("Reporting/ReportOption.aspx")

I'm not sure exactly what you're doing with the Application level stuff. But if you want to do a simple redirect from this handler:

Code:
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="CreateSession" %>

using System;
using System.Web;

public class CreateSession : IHttpHandler
{
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        var sessionCode = context.Request.QueryString["Code"];
       
        using (var sessionManager = Elsinore.ScreenConnect.ServerExtensions.SessionManagerChannelFactory.CreateChannel())
        {
            sessionManager.CreateSession(Elsinore.ScreenConnect.InvitationType.Code, sessionCode, "System");
        }

        context.Response.Redirect("MyOtherPage.aspx");
    }

    public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } }
}

To auto-join, try this:

Code:
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="CreateSession" %>

using System;
using System.Web;

public class CreateSession : IHttpHandler
{
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        var sessionCode = context.Request.QueryString["Code"];
       
        using (var sessionManager = Elsinore.ScreenConnect.ServerExtensions.SessionManagerChannelFactory.CreateChannel())
        {
            var session = sessionManager.CreateSession(Elsinore.ScreenConnect.InvitationType.Code, sessionCode, "System");
            context.Response.Redirect("Host.aspx?" + session.SessionID);
        }
    }

    public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } }
}


Then you'll need to modify your Host.aspx file. The script at the bottom that looks like this:

Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
        this.launchers = getSortedLaunchers();
        this.poll();
    </script>


Change to this:

Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
        this.launchers = getSortedLaunchers();
        this.poll();

        if (window.location.search != "")
            PageMethods.GetActiveSessionInfos(window.onGetActiveSessionInfosSuccess, null, window.location.search.substring(1));
    </script>

And the auto-join stuff doesn't always work with IE because of a security/popup setting, so you should probably test with Firefox/Chrome.

Also keep in mind changes to the Host.aspx file have to be managed during upgrades.

I really like this feature.
Is there a way to use a small script that generates a random 6 digit number and uses that as the code? This would be nice as if one uses the same link again, I get an error page stating that the Session already exists.

If anyone can help me with the 6 digit random number then the help will be greatly apprechiated.

This is my thought, but I lack the asp.net knowledge to finish:
Code:
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="CreateSession" %>

using System;
using System.Web;

public class CreateSession : IHttpHandler
{
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        if(context.Request.QueryString["Code"] != "" && context.Request.QueryString["Code"] != null)
        {
            // If the URL contains a Code then get it
            var sessionCode = context.Request.QueryString["Code"];
        }
            else
            {
                // If the URL does not contain a Code, generate a 6 digit random number
                
            }
       
        using (var sessionManager = Elsinore.ScreenConnect.ServerExtensions.SessionManagerChannelFactory.CreateChannel())
        {
            sessionManager.CreateSession(Elsinore.ScreenConnect.InvitationType.Code, sessionCode, "System");
        }

        context.Response.Redirect("Host.aspx");
    }

    public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } }
}

Code:

var sessionCode = context.Request.QueryString["Code"];

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionCode))
sessionCode = ((uint)new Random().Next()).ToString("000000").Substring(0, 6);

Does this method still work in "ScreenConnect_2.3.1751.4211_Debug.msi"?

I am getting this error:

Code:

replace any line that looks like this:

Code:
using (var sessionManager = Elsinore.ScreenConnect.ServerExtensions.SessionManagerChannelFactory.CreateChannel())


With this:

Code:
using (var sessionManager = Elsinore.ScreenConnect.ServiceChannelPool<Elsinore.ScreenConnect.ISessionManagerChannel>.Instance.Borrow())
