Hi For the past few days I’ve been looking into integrating Guacamole into VCL, which would add HTML5 RDP (and VNC/SSH) clients as connection method.
It looks like a custom Authentication method needs to be implemented on Guacamole side to link VCL’s database and Guacamole. VCL’s database has all the info needed to establish RDP connection to a running reservation without a need for user to login to RDP session. I found few older projects (guacamole-auth-hmac and guacamole-auth-hmac-easy) which accomplish this fairly easy, but these don’t work with Guacamole v0.9.9. I wanted to ask if there is interest in adding above integration before starting to work on it. It looks like it would improve user’s experience and also it would allow use of tablets with VCL, since it should work with any HTML5 browser. Also no need for RDP client installed on MAC/Linux. One thing is unclear - at least in our environment - is how to access local drives when connecting via HTML5 RDP. Guacamole offers built-in support for mapping a drive to a folder on Guacamole server (which could be NFS/SAMBA mounted to a central storage), but there is no way to map client’s drives directly. -- Thank you, Dmitri Chebotarov ITS/SSG @ GMU 223 Aquia Building, Ffx, MSN: 1B5 [https://goo.gl/maps/w2nCJ6APrHC2] Phone: (703) 993-6175 | Fax: (703) 993-3404 Public key: [https://goo.gl/SlE8tj]
