Timeouts

[James Allsopp <ja...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,
I'm building a guacamole system behind a reverse proxy. The proxy times out
after five minutes if there's no activity, but once a user has opened a
connection there always seems to be activity. Is there a setting to sever
the connection if a user hasn't done anything in a given time period?

Thanks.
James

Guacamole doesn't provide such a setting, no. Guacamole considers
connections to be active so long as they are open and the user's
browser is responding. The remote desktop server may have such a
setting, though. Microsoft's RDP server, for example, provides "Idle
session limit":
