You can connect wherever you like, and it's entirely up to you to
dictate within your application how the connection information is
derived. Guacamole does not impost restrictions on where you can
connect.

Yes. As you're writing your own application driven by Guacamole, it's
entirely up to you to dictate the mechanism behind this. All that
matters is that the username/password somehow be made available to the
tunnel as it establishes the connection to guacd, as the credentials
would need to be passed via connection parameters within a
GuacamoleConfiguration object:

http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/doc/guacamole-common/org/apache/guacamole/protocol/GuacamoleConfiguration.html#setParameters-java.util.Map-

The parameters available are documented here:

As above, since you're writing your own application, this is entirely
up to you. Guacamole provides only the mechanisms for establishing and
tunneling these connections, as well as JavaScript objects for
displaying and interacting with the remote desktop. The definition of
a user, whether users even exist as a concept within your application,
how/if connections are configured, etc. are all outside the scope of
the Guacamole API.

No problem.

Also, please beware that you are not subscribed to the dev@ list, and your
emails keep hitting the moderation queue. You need to subscribe for your
emails to get through reliably.

Sounds good.

If i am still struggling i hope you don’t mind if i drop you an email at

Assuming you mean emailing the list, by all means. Participating in
development-related discussion on the dev@ list is great. This is exactly
what the list is for.

If you mean emailing me directly ... please don't do this. Email the list.

Thanks,

Thanks Mike for your prompt reply, really appreciate it.

My first thoughts on reading your comments are that i have questions, but i will go and have a read of the links in more depth and try and understand how to achieve it. 

I do not want to send you stupid questions and certainly don’t want to; take up to much of your time.

If i am still struggling i hope you don’t mind if i drop you an email at some point next week.

Many thanks

Craig
