  1. SESSION CODE: WSV309 Microsoft RemoteFX: USB and Device Support Nelly Porter Group Program Manager Remote Desktop Virtualization Microsoft Corporation

  2. Experience RemoteFX Devices • Why RemoteFXUSB Devices? • High Level vs. Low Level Redirection • Core components • What do you need to know to allow USB devices to be redirected • Demos!

  3. The single largest security risk … 81%

  4. RemoteFX meets RDP Goals • Close the experience gap between Local and Remote

  5. Why RemoteFX USB Devices? • I want to be able to use devices I want, and have it just work

  6. Where would you use RemoteFX USB Devices? • Advantages • No client drivers necessary • Works with any device • Disadvantages • Only one session can use a USB device at a time • Best of the Two Worlds • Use Both!

  7. RemoteFXAudio DevicesE.g. USB speakers, USB headset, USB Microphone, USB Phone

  8. RemoteFX HID DevicesE.g. Tablets, Media remotes, Joysticks, and many more

  9. Printers and Scanners • Printers only • EasyPrint or legacy redirections • Printers as multi-function device • RemoteFX USB • Scanners only • RemoteFX USB

  10. Most Wanted RemoteFX Devices Place #2 and #3

  11. Other Devices (isochronous and bulk transfer)E.g Office warfare ( Rocket Launcher with WebCam Combo) It sees you when you are working, it knows when you come late... Fire over six meters, giving you coverage for over 113 square meters

  12. RemoteFX USB Devices Design Goals • Stability • Driver failures should NOT bring down the system • Driver failures are isolated to the VM • Applications are transparent to redirected devices • Isochronous, layered drivers, with services or without • Integrate with PnP subsystem for device installs, driver load/unload • Security • Driver failures should NOT compromise the system • Driver failures are isolated to the VM • Driver interfaces should be validated • Obey all USB “restriction” policies • Work for both KMDF and UMDF drivers

  17. Provided by: Microsoft IHV/ISV Device Removal and Cleanup RemoteFX USB Hub USB Device Driver VM RDP Server Device Removal • Data Flow path similar to “claim device” • In reverse order • Auto-reconnect • No changes until all attempts to restore connectionexhausted • Disconnect • All devices removed

  18. Security Data Flow • Server has to authenticate itself • Even when client and server both authenticated • Data returned from the device on the client or server is considered “not trusted” • Additional validation is provided for subset of IOCTLs and URB interfaces, e.g. • All IDs returned from the device prior to be used on server • Every URB packet request • Should meet USB 2.0 specification
