Sounds good and like I was hoping it would work. But I got confused by the "which contains a user who has been authenticated by an outside system" -part of a previous answer from you. And thought that meant the user first had to be created in another way. So back to tinkering 🙂 /Rick ________________________________ Från: Nick Couchman <vn...@apache.org> Skickat: den 28 juni 2022 22:32 Till: user@guacamole.apache.org <user@guacamole.apache.org> Ämne: Re: Guacamole/Json - trouble

I just assumed I could use json to both add a user and connections to the container. But then I guess I still need something like postgres and the init.db file to create the user I then include in the json? Can the connections exist only in the json before posting and get created that way? Or is the json only used as a filter for users and connections all of which are already existing in the container? No, with the JSON extension you do not need the Postgres/MySQL/SQL Server extension - you can include both the user account information and the connection information all in the JSON data that you post to the extension, and Guacamole will provide those connections to the user. If, however, you want to create other connections in the database module and layer the JSON authentication on top of that, you can certainly do that, as well. But it isn't a requirement - the JSON module should be able to operate on its own without any other supporting modules, either for authentication or connection storage. -Nick
