[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-381) Disable Clipboard Cut and Paste

["Dr Houle (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-381?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16196140#comment-16196140 ] 

Dr Houle commented on GUACAMOLE-381:
------------------------------------

After looking at the code I found a read-only flag for connections.

This flag when set disabled all input and resizing. It made the connection view only.
But too much so, no keyboard or mouse.

I investigated further. Since the settings->read_only is so severe I re-purposed this connection flag for testing.

With two minor changes, I was able to create a Kiosk mode that permits the user to input mouse and keys but not external cut and paste.

If interested send me an email.

> Disable Clipboard functions
> In some implementations, the ability to disable the Clipboard at the client would be beneficial.
> Kiosk mode to securely, view Patient Data for instance.
> Disabling Clipboard paste in one direction or the other  would be another valuable modification.
