node-rdpjs

Remote Desktop Protocol for Node.js

node-rdpjs is a pure implementation of the Microsoft RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) protocol (client and server side). node-rdpjs support only SSL security layer.

Install

You can install last release node-rdpjs through npm :

npm install node-rdpjs

Or work with dev branch :

git clone https://github.com/citronneur/node-rdpjs.git
cd node-rdpjs
npm install

RDP Client

To create a simple rdp client :

var rdp = require('node-rdpjs');

var client = rdp.createClient({ 
	domain : 'my_domain', 
	userName : 'my_username',
	password : 'my_password',
	enablePerf : true,
	autoLogin : true,
	decompress : false,
	screen : { width : 800, height : 600 },
	locale : 'en',
	logLevel : 'INFO'
}).on('connect', function () {
}).on('close', function() {
}).on('bitmap', function(bitmap) {
}).on('error', function(err) {
}).connect('XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX', 3389);

Client parameters :

• domain {string} Microsoft domain
• userName {string} Username
• password {string} password
• enablePerf {boolean} Active some performance features (disable wallpaper)
• autoLogin {boolean} start session if login informations are good
• decompress {boolean} use RLE algorrithm for decompress bitmap
• screen {object} screen size
  • width {integer} width of screen
  • height {integer} height of screen
• locale {string} keyboard layout
  • en qwerty layout
  • fr azerty layout
• logLevel {string} console log level of library
  • DEBUG
  • INFO
  • WARN
  • ERROR

Use of decompress parameter impact performance.

Client Events

List of all available events from server

connect

Connect event is received when rdp stack is connected

close

Close event is received when rdp stack is close cleanly

error

Error event is received when a protocol error happened

bitmap

Bitmap event is received for a bitmap refresh order :

• destTop {integer} y min position
• destLeft {integer} x min position
• destBottom {integer} y max position
• destRight {integer} x max position
• width {integer} width of bitmap data
• height {integer} height of bitmap data
• bitsPerPixel {integer} [15|16|24|32] bits per pixel
• isCompress {boolean} true if bitmap is compressed with RLE algorithm
• data : {Buffer} bitmap data

Client Inputs

Client inputs are mainly user inputs (mouse and keyboard).

Mouse

client.sendPointerEvent(x, y, button, isPressed);

• x {integer} mouse x position in pixel
• y {integer} mouse y position in pixel
• button {integer} [ 1 (left) | 2 (right) | 3 (middle) ]
• isPressed {boolean} true for a pressed button event

Keyboard

client.sendKeyEventScancode(code, isPressed);

• code {integer} scancode of key
• isPressed {boolean} true for a key pressed event

client.sendKeyEventUnicode(code, isPressed);

• code {integer} unicode char of key
• isPressed {boolean} true for a key pressed event
