HySecure - Accops RDP / Virtual Desktop Client (iOS)

HySecure is the Accops iOS remote-desktop / virtual-desktop client: a native freeRDP (2.0.0-dev) based client built on the long-running Propalms 'ProUAC' Universal Access Client. It lets mobile users reach enterprise Windows desktops and hosted applications securely through Accops (formerly Propalms) security gateways, supporting TSE, VDI, VPN, and direct RDP connection types with realm/OTP authentication, drive/audio/smartcard channel redirection, an in-app keyboard and touch pointer, and URL-scheme deep linking.

Scope of delivery

Hand-extended and delivered the Propalms/Accops iOS RDP & virtual-desktop client (the long-running ProUAC / Propalms Universal Access Client, version 4.4), wrapping the freeRDP library to give mobile users secure access to enterprise Windows desktops and hosted applications through the Accops security gateway.

02 Business Challenge

Delivering a secure enterprise remote-desktop client required wrapping freeRDP and connecting mobile users to Windows desktops/hosted apps through the Accops gateway with secure realm/OTP auth and channel redirection.
