[Q] Any RD Web client for Android to access published app not hosted on Azure cloud? - General Questions and Answers

I have been searching endlessly for the past days for an app that would allow me to access the RD Web published app we are currently setting up.
To go into details, this is like a RDP client but instead of loading the whole windows environment, it loads only the requested app. The app is selected from a page accessed by the mobile device browser.
So far, I have found some apps (like xtralogic) that would allow me to import the .rdp file. Unfortunately this is not practical. The Microsoft RD Client work but it requires the published app to be hosted on the Azure cloud. Unfortunately this will not be an option for at least two years for us.
Is there any application free or paid that will allow such thing outside the Azure cloud?

Sharepoint Mobile

Hello, I'm going to be posting this on several different message boards because I'm not really sure who will be able to help. If anyone has any suggestions as to other websites I can post this question on, please feel free to suggest. The other couple that I'm going to post to first is tech-forums (dot) net and msfn (dot) org
I am having problems connecting Sharepoint workspace mobile to my Sharepoint 2010 server. I have winmo 6.5 pro and the sharepoint app is running. I have an unlimited data plan, and I have tested this where my data works fine. I have tested this inside my network and outside also using wifi.
I have one standalone Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise server installed. The server is working. I can get to the website using a web browser and it is running off of port 80. I can browse to the site from outside my firewall as well as inside with no problems. So I know that Sharepoint, in and of itself, is working.
I have tried two other phones running winmo 6.5 with data plans, and office 2010 mobile and am getting the same error.
Basically, I open sharepoint mobile 2010, go to the address sharepoint.domain.com (just an example) and I get the error: "Cannot connect. Sharepoint mobile doesn't support the authentication scheme that this server requires. Do you want to open this in your web browser?"
If I click yes, it does open the sharepoint site in IE.
All I really want is to be able to sync docs between a doc library and my phone, and my PC using workspace.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Under the web server that you have authentication methods, I am guessing you have integrated windows auth or something like that set , and to use it with winmo it needs to be set to basic.
Now it has been a while since I set one up , but I think that is your problem ..
You will have to make sure that the main and all subwebs get changed to match the same authentication ...
One thing I have done in the past if you need integrated for your intranet, is to clone the sharepoint site, and run a second one for mobile users, just make sure you are using the same data stores .....
Moved as not software release.

[Q] Setting own alternative to Google Apps (e.g Docs, Calanda)

Hi there,
Currently, I run my own email / web server and have done so for many years. I would like to store data in the 'cloud' (really a cool name for a server in a date centre), but my users and myself certainly do not trust Google with our data.
The Question
I would like to know if there is any server side software that can offer an equivalent to the account tie-in that is with the google accounts on the Android O/S.
The details
All devices would run CyanogenMod (a bunch of Nexus Ses), and as such would be devoid of Google apps like the Market. I notice on other Android devices, these can have an account integrated into the phone, and said phone can then use this account (typically a gmail address) to hook into the Google Docs, Google Calendar, Contacts and the Google Wiki: These are the types of programmes that I wish to run on our server, and link in with the account as I described afore.
Is there any software (paid or open source) already available that could do some of this?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards.

There is no way to modify the google apps really (closed source), so you would need to totally write it all from scratch...
But... what would you be wanting? Exchange sync via activesync gives you a calendar and mailbox with push via stock "Email" app.
I am a bit unsure what you are trying to do, but if you rent a VPS or dedicated server in a datacenter, and pay for Windows Server 2008/R2 on it, you could then buy Microsoft Exchange, or perhaps get Server SBS, and connect the devices to the Exchange server?
That would give you email and calendar support (both very good as well). Same for contacts - it syncs them. I am not aware of a "google wiki" you refer to though...
Hi,
Thank-you for your reply, especially during the week-end.
>There is no way to modify the google apps really (closed source), so you would need to totally write it all from scratch...
Modifying GoogleApps nor re-inventing the wheel is not my goal. I only want to add an account (I notice that one can integrate Facebook and Google within Android so maybe this is something I can explore).

We already have our own server(s) in a data centre.
Regarding for your Windows suggestion
Our Debian servers run postfix/dovecot/roundcube very well and with incredibly stability. These have run for nearly 1 year without the need for a single reboot other than for kernel patches. We have upgraded all aforementioned programmes during this time. (Although we'll move to Debian Squeeze soon which'll need a rebuild somewhere). No reason to move away from something so stable to Windows, and then have to pay for it.
Alternatives
I found OpenGoo (now known as Feng) as an alternative. It provides the equivalent of Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Docs among other things, although I am unsure how to integrate this into Android. Using a web based front end would be annoying for people I sent an Email to the Feng offices asking if there was any proposed Android integration.
Best wishes.
I did a little more digging, and there are other possibilities. However these will allrequire some method of integrating these with Android clients:
Ubuntu One's Eucalyptus server. These is an Android client for Ubuntu One, so hopefully this'll be available for Eucalyptus at some point.

project-lipsync
This offers some contacts and calendar sync using rsync over SSH. A simple solution, but a client has to be written for Android, which would be no more than a one button widget that syncs the sqlite dB back to the server for contacts and calendar. Perhaps a documents dir could be added. Still work in progress.
SparkleShare
Looks like there might be quite a bit of work in progress. Uses git for access.

How to connect android chat application with web chat application?

I am developing a chat application in web as well as in android. All the things have completed on web portal, I used nodejs and redis server for that. Now on android side I have very little experience, but some how managed to create a simple chat application using XMPP and openfire and also connected my Openfire with MYsql database. I can see Openfire users and tables in my Mysql database. But what I want is to connect both web and android apps, like facebook messanger app.. But I don't know how to connect both. I don't want to create user ID's in openfire as those are already in user table.
Or m I doing this in wrong way, should I use common protocol on both web and android?
Please guide me, if someone have done this before.
IRC?
