[jira] [Created] (GUACAMOLE-430) Add pre/post connection scripts/hooks to connections

Fanie Riekert created GUACAMOLE-430:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Add pre/post connection scripts/hooks to connections
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-430
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-430
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: guacamole, guacamole-auth-ldap
         Environment: Users and connections are stored in an Openldap server.
            Reporter: Fanie Riekert
            Priority: Minor


We use Apache Guacamole as a front-end to vnc desktops run on an HPC cluster; this works well. One enhancement that would simplify on-boarding new users would be to have Guacamole run pre/post connection scripts. In our use case a preconnection script could be used to log into the cluster, as the user themselves, and submit the torque job to start the vnc server before attempting to connect to the vnc server. At this time users must use an ssh connection to  run the script before proceeding to the vnc connection. Ideally the scripts/commands could be added to the connection object as connection parameters. Thanks
