CONNECTION LEASING SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS FOR USE WITH LEGACY VIRTUAL DELIVERY APPLIANCES

Abstract:

A computing system may include client devices configured to request connections to virtual sessions using connection leases issued based upon published resource entitlements, and a computing device configured to store and update the published resource entitlements. The system may also include a virtual delivery appliance configured to provide the client devices with access to the virtual sessions based upon connection descriptor files. A connector appliance may be configured to receive connection requests from the client devices including the connection leases, request validation of the connection leases from the computing device, and resolve the connection leases to the virtual delivery appliance and return a session validation to the client devices responsive to validation of the connection leases. The client devices may be configured to generate the connection descriptor files responsive to the session validations, and initiate connections with the virtual delivery appliance using the generated connection descriptor files.
