Change RDP file configuration from mangement node or web server
Hi everybody
When we make a reservation, RDP file is configured with IP address of the
computer reserved.
We need RDP file is configured with the hostname of the computer and our
domain name (hostname.my.domain.org) instead IP address. Is it possible to
configure like this?
I'am newby in VCL
Kind regards to all

Dan,
To change the Connect page to display the hostname instead of the IP
address, you need to edit vcl/.ht-inc/requests.php. Starting on line
3394, you should see this:
$tos = array($conuser,
$passwd,
$res['connectIP'],
$res['connectport']);
Change
$res['connectIP'],
to
gethostbyaddr($res['connectIP']),
so that you have
$tos = array($conuser,
$passwd,
gethostbyaddr($res['connectIP']),
$res['connectport']);

I solved it. When I click on Get RDP File button the RDP file is configure
to connect to hostname. Thanks to all for their comments.
Can you explain me how to change what is displayed on the Connect page to
be the hostname instead of the IP address?

To this I would add that the gethostbyaddr() function will return an unmodified IP address if the DNS query fails. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyaddr.php for more information.
If that is the case, you may want to confirm that DNS lookups are working properly on the management node. Otherwise, Josh and Kelly are correct that this should work.

Dan,
What Kelly suggested should work. However, it only changes it in the RDP file
delivered by clicking the "Get RDP File" button. When you click that button,
is your browser automatically opening it in Remote Desktop Connection? If so,
are you saying that Computer field has an IP address in it instead of a
hostname? If your browser is not automatically opening the file in Remote
Desktop Connection, can you open the file in a text editor and verify you are
actually getting an IP address instead of a hostname?
After resolving this part, I can explain how to change what is displayed on
the Connect page to be the hostname instead of the IP address.

Thanks for your information. I have trying with your suggestion but it not

Someone else may have a more elegant solution, but we tested this by editing the following lines the sendRDPfile() function in the utils.php file and registering our hostname in within dns.
function sendRDPfile() {
…
#see excerpt below
print "session bpp:i:$bpp\r\n";
print "winposstr:s:0,1,382,71,1182,671\r\n";
#print "full address:s:$ipaddress\r\n"; #COMMENTED OUT THIS LINE
$vm_hostname = gethostbyaddr($ipaddress); #ADDED THIS LINE
print "full address:s:$vm_hostname\r\n"; #ADDED THIS LINE
