[EXTERNAL] Re: Showing users only available connections

["MARTINEZ, ARIEL" <AM...@hostos.cuny.edu>]

Right, should have mentioned 1.2.0 and RDP. I do get that message but only when clicking on a connection that is already in use. But before that, there doesn't seem to be an indicator that it is in use.

Thanks

I'm not certain I have your use-case correct but with Guacamole 1.2.0 if you set multiple connections for a single user, it will show you which of those connections is in use at first login. I've just tested that now [RDP connections] and get the message "Currently in use by 1 user" for connections that would not be available.

This assumes that a user first logs into the Guacamole GUI, then clicks further on one of a list of possible connections to continue on (ie. it's not set with user/passw etc to automatically connect to a machine).

It is worth noting, here, that active connection tracking is only currently
implemented in the JDBC module.  So, Ariel, if you are using some other
module to store connections (LDAP, user-mapping.xml, etc.), you may not see
the "Currently in use..." that Luke is talking about, here.  If you need
that functionality you should switch to the JDBC module.

In order to check this out I created a test user (with no additional 
privileges) and assigned 4 connections to that user - two of which were 
in use at that time, and two free.

Upon initial login the list of possible connections was displayed on the 
left of the screen, on the same line as each possible connection, but 
rightmost, is displayed the message "Currently in use..." - if the 
connection is in use - otherwise it's blank and the user may connect.

Each possible connections is setup with default settings for almost 
everything except the IP/port numbers, 'ignore server cert', and a 
little detail around display parameters (eg font smoothing). I do not 
specifically set max connections etc.

It may be that there's something in your setup that differs from this, 
and might be producing the result you see. You could, initially, try 
experimenting with something similar to the way my test was set up first 
in order to see if you can reproduce the same result?

Just to give you more detail, this system is based on Ubuntu 18.04, 
MySQL 5.7.3, Tomcat 8.5.39 all contained within a single VM, the browser 
in use was Waterfox 2020.07.
