General Questions

[Carter Sema <CS...@acschools.org>]

Noticed the picture attached  on my Guacamole Account. Just wondering what the LDAP tab was used for. I did some quick google searching and wasn't able to find anything. I'm assuming it's for controlling the AD connections if I would have modified my Schema? Or does this control something else?

Also, is there a way to control when machines are available? An example would be, we have a lab of high powered CAD machines but don't want everyone accessing them until after school is over so kids can work on their projects outside of school. Is there a way to set those machines to become available after a certain time in guacamole?

Thanks!

Hi Carter,

I recently tested Guacamole with LDAP (connected it to a Windows Active 
Directory). There is no need to change the schema if you just want to 
manage users in AD but not connections.
So you could manage the connections within Guacamole and set permissions 
by using AD users.

AD has options to set work time for users so they are not able to logon 
at any other time. Maybe that could help you, too?


Kind regards


Peter

The LDAP extension doesn't support editing users or connections from the
management interface, but each data source that is present has a tab in the
management interface, so you'll see this show up.

You can control when users can log on to Guacamole, but I do not believe
there is currently any way to control when connections are available to
users who log on.  You're welcome to open a feature request in Guacamole
JIRA for that, and see if there's interest in adding that functionality to
the product.
