Closes #96. If a `coder_app` exists on the workspace, where the URL is of the form: ```coder://dev.coder.com/v0/open/ws/<workspace>/agent/<agent>/rdp?username=administrator&password=password``` the URL will be parsed, validated, and an alert opened. If `Open` is clicked on the alert, the password will be written to the clipboard, where it can be pasted when prompted. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/da8410c7-d656-4bf7-936a-8d465953e195 We're unable to avoid the entering of the password, as the `password` field in an `.rdp` file, even if encrypted properly, is ignored by the macOS Windows RDP app. The app supports reading credentials from the macOS keychain, and whilst we could create keychain entries, they have to be associated with an RDP config in the app, and there's no way to automate the creation of that config, and then run that config.

Add RDP-specific logic into Coder Desktop so that all coder apps marked with
external=trueand a URL matching tocoder://v0/open/agent/<agent ID>/rdp?username=<username>&password=<password>will be rendered as buttons and have RDP-specific logic in place. This logic can include fetching additional information or credentials in Coder Desktop and creating an.rdpfile or comparable integrations.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
