Nick Couchman closed GUACAMOLE-255. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Do Bookmarking seems to supplant the need for something like this. Closing out this request. > Support Ability to Auto-Start Connection > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: GUACAMOLE-255 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-255 > Project: Guacamole > Issue Type: Wish > Components: guacamole > Reporter: Nick Couchman > Priority: Trivial > > Currently the Guacamole client only automatically starts a connection when a > single connection is defined for a user/login. It would be useful to set a > connection to automatically start when a user logs in, even if multiple > connections are available. The user should still be able to disconnect and > return to the home screen, but there are certainly situations where it is > desirable to have an automatic connection happen at login. > As I see it there are two possible routes for implementing this: > - Set up a connection parameter or attribute for auto-starting and have the > client check connections at login time for the attribute and start them. > - Set up a user-specific field for a connection to auto-start, and store the > connection id (hash of datasource + id + type) in that field, and have the > client check for that property at login and locate/start the specified > connection. > My preference would be to do this at the user level, for the following > reasons: > - You could then limit it to 1 auto-start per user, and avoid confusion of > having multiple connections available to a user marked for auto-start and > having to determine which one(s) you actually start. > - The user can be in control of whether or not a connection is automatically > started, and, if so, which one. There doesn't seem to be any > security-relevant implications for allowing the user to control this - the > necessary checks should still be in place to make sure the user is only > starting a connection he has access to, and not injecting something bad into > the field, but whether or not it starts automatically is more of an > experience topic. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
