session id detection

[Jim Reisz]

I have a windows service that binds to a port on the server and I have
several applications that will send messages for the service to process. Is
there a way that the service can detect the terminal service session that is
making the request without having to pass the session id in the request? I
will need to modify the service to work in terminal services, but would like
to avoid modifying 5 applications to pass the ts session id to the service.
The reason that I need the session id of the caller is so the service may
launch a process within their session.

TIA

in case of std. ip cli/srv model you are out of luck, i guess. the
ip/udp/tcp headers don't carry any session related informations.

i would suggest to extend the software, so you have a robust,
protocol-independent, TS-aware application framework.
