Lukas Raska commented on GUACAMOLE-1969:
----------------------------------------
Great, thanks. I've prepared
[https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/pull/530] for this and I will make
relevant docs/client changes if that approach is acceptable.
> Allow screen recording to capture user clipboard interactions
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-1969
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1969
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: guacamole, guacd
> Reporter: Lukas Raska
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, Guacamole screen recording contains only graphical events and
> optionally admins can use _recording-include-keys_ to include also key events
> into the recording
> ([https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html#graphical-session-recording]
> ).
>
> While that might be enough for certain situations, for various
> auditing/compliance reasons, clipboard paste events might be required. If
> user performs clipoard paste, these data are mostly not included (in certain
> cases those text information might be present in Typescript), so when
> determining what user actually pasted, is not possible.
>
> I suggest implementing new connection parameter *recording-include-clipboard*
> which would hook into the user clipboard handler and optionally dump the
> relevant *clipboard* instruction and related stream events
> ([https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/protocol-reference.html#clipboard-instruction]
> ) to include only the user-pasting clipboard contents.
>
> If you're ok with implementing this improvement, I can draft a PR for all the
> relevant parts.
> Obviously this should come with warning for administrators to understand the
> consequences of enabling the parameter - from both capacity perspective
> (recording might get larger depending on the amount of data pasted, although
> probably less data than actual screen capture) as well as legal / regulations
> perspective (data within clipboard can contain sensitive information and data
> not related to the actual Guacamole session).
