force complete logout every time

Hi.  How can I keep guacamole users from leaving disconnected sessions on Windows computers?

icm b001 { quser } -cr $c

USERNAME  SESSIONNAME        ID  STATE   IDLE TIME  LOGON TIME
j151                          4  Disc         1:32  4/14/2020 11:18 AM
p415                          5  Disc           56  4/14/2020 12:47 PM

It's not virtual, but real computers over windows remote desktop.

The solution from the profile settings link provided in the this thread above
is your best bet.

We do an On-demand (students leave, session reset state zero) and ILT
(Instructor Led Training, students can return to their existing desktop),
this is all controlled through out provisioning system which controls
guacamole.

But since you do not have a provisioning platform; setting profiles to
logout after 5/10 minutes of inactivity is industry standards, at least I
have been using for the past 20 years when designing these environments.

The issue you will have is not knowing if the session is logged out, you
could write some detection code and run it on the VM desktop to know when a
connection is active or not. Then this runs in to an issue of network
overhead.

There are a lot of ways to skin the cat, its why I programmed a Provisioning
platform to handle all these known issues/caveats and simplified the LTI
process.

What is your Virtual environment?

These are the group policy settings for our RDP server and they work quite
well at cleaning up disconnected (but not logged off) sessions.

Do you want LOGOUT or do you want fresh new session?
