winbox plugin

I have to administer Mikrotik firewalls/routers for clients and would like to integrate this with Royal TS.


I see a Mikrotik plugin for Remote Desktop Manager so they must offer an API for connectivity.


Is this forthcoming?

Can you try to reproduce this on a different machine as well?

It'd be an awesome plugin! As an external application it does not work with the Secure Gateway/jump box functionality as far as I could work out...Would be great for it to be integrated and working with Secure Gateway.

I have not tried that yet, ofcourse no problem to do. Now i did create a new RoyalTS  file just now and not enable Lock and Encryption of the document. This is working.
Is it possible that with these options enabled the problem is appearing?

This depends on the replacement tokens and policies you are using. Since external apps pass replacement tokens to the command line, it's easy to read through the task manager. For security reasons those "sensitive" replacement tokens (like passwords) are not passed to the command line. See: https://docs.royalapps.com/r2021/royalts/tutorials/working-with-lockdown-documents.html#lock-and-unlock-lockdown-documents


If that's the case, you should see something in the logs indicating that this happened.

Hi Nathan,


if the app supports specifying a custom port, it should also work with the secure gateway. Can you share some screenshots how you implemented your external app?


Thanks,
Stefan

Hi stefan, can you tell me which logs i should look in?

Sure! You can view the Royal TS "internal" log using the View ribbon tab (click on Log: https://docs.royalapps.com/r2021/royalts/user-interface/panels.html#-log). A new tab should appear with all the log information.

In View -> Options -> Logging you can change the log level as well: https://docs.royalapps.com/r2021/royalts/reference/options.html#-logging


But how does the Secure Gateway know where to redirect the connection?

Thanks Stefan, i can see it is al documented very well. My apologies and thanks for your patience. I do have a solution now if i disable the Lock Document.
I will see if it can be tuned a bit more, thanks again!

No worries. Royal TS became quite complex over time. There’s no shame in not knowing everything. Even I tend to forget where stuff is

Hi Michelle,


there's no such plugin for Royal TS at the moment and we also don't have something on the roadmap short- or mid-term. I'm not really familiar with their products but if they offer a web interface you can integrate it with Royal TS easily using the web page connection. If they have a desktop application for management, you could try to integrate it using the external application connection.

Thanks! That works great! It is not very intuitive compared to configuring the other plugins though - maybe the Computer Name and Port fields could be included in the first tab?

Winbox for Mikrotik management would be a nice plugin

I'm glad it's working for you. I've discussed your proposal and putting the computer name and port on the main page might even be more confusing for users - as this is only needed when working with a secure gateway. Since this is a more advanced scenario with special requirements we decided to put this also in the "Advanced" section. Btw, our docs explain how to make use of the tokens:
