The Broker Client Example¶

The SDK package comes with a sample command line pre-session client called the Broker Client example, which calls the included broker client libraries and establishes a PCoIP connection. The Broker Client API example demonstrates the success path for establishing new PCoIP sessions.

The sample broker client is located here: usr/bin/

The broker_client_example file, which is the is the sample command-line client executable is located in this directory. The other relevant file is login_info.txt, which is available at: ~/Documents/PCoIPSoftClientSDK/Examples/broker_client_example/bin This file supplies session input values.

About the login_info.txt File¶

The Broker Client API example uses a local text file to provide session input values. The following is a sample login_info.txt file:

my-machine.mydomain.com mydomain myuser "mypassword" desktop-resource

In the example above:

• The FQDN of the host server is my-machine.mydomain.com
• The domain is mydomain
• The user is myuser
• The password is mypassword
• The host name is desktop-resource

Remote sessions established by the Broker Client Example are exactly the same as sessions established using the Anyware Software Client, except that the input values are provided by login_info.txt instead of the client’s user interface.

Passing Arguments Securely via Standard Input¶

The SDK contains an example that demonstrates how parameters are passed to the the pcoip-client process via standard input within a C++ program.

The following is an example of writing to the stdin stream of the Anyware Client:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pcoip-client/examples/broker_client_example/main.cpp

The implementation of the process abstraction used to accomplish this is available in the following file:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pcoip-client/examples/broker_client_example/process_posix.cpp
