I think that:
* Default behavior should be kept as-is.
* It's a great idea to add a Connection Attribute that would allow
admins to limit the number of retries on a per-connection basis, and
possibly add a default option to guacamole.properties that could
override this system-wide.

Stopping connection retry eventually

2022-05-04 Thread Lee Doughty
Hello,

What does the community think about adding at least an option to stop
retrying connections if they fail for to long?

I know a lot of us have automation to shut down machines, which is not
always connected to guacamole intelligently.

When they hit retry, it never stops. I've had log messages last for 5 days
with a user trying every 15 seconds... Made me think this feature might be
useful.

I would suggest the retry cutoff be a # of attempts, that is
configurable... Maybe add a connection property? Or maybe a server config
