I am using Postgres, but one thing I noticed that's different with my setup is I am not specifying the entity_id -- it is an auto-increment field in MySQL (serial in Postgres).
I think you don't have anything in the guacamole_user table for the entities you are creating. Have a look at: https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/jdbc-auth.html#users Also, since you are using LDAP for auth, you may be able to shortcut all of this, have a look at: https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/jdbc-auth.html#auto-creating-database-users On Tue, Jan 11, 2022 at 11:09 AM Jim Rx <jimr...@mail.com> wrote: > Greetings, I have a question about updating the database contents > directly.
