guacamole RDP client-name
Hi,
Can the client-name RDP parameter be a concatenation of a fixed string and a random number, or better yet, the UNIX epoch?
eg. RDPclient_ 1579556750
Maybe even a combination of fixed string + something that identifies the session. eg client-name=RDP_${SESSIONID}.
Or simply: client-name=RDP_${GUAC_USERNAME}_${UNIX_EPOCH}

I meant CONNECTION ID. In any case, it would be too long, and maybe it's created after the connection is established.
l believe there's a 15-char limit for CLIENTNAME. So GUAC_DATE + GUAC_TIME alone are 14 chars. Unix Epoch is 10 chars for now.
I guess I can use ${GUAC_CLIENT_HOSTNAME} alone for now and see what happens.
Thanks!

Not sure what SESSIONID would be in this case, but both GUAC_DATE and
GUAC_TIME tokens exist. Using both will give you a timestamp with second
resolution.

GUAC_CLIENT_ADDRESS might also be a reasonable choice.

Yes, through provisioning. The variable ${GUAC_USERNAME} already exists, so I guess that should do. However, I don't believe there's any variable with a TIME, RANDOM or SESSIONID value.
The reason for generating unique CLIENTNAMEs is for MS TS licensing purposes.

You can set it to whatever you like, but I assume you mean automatically?
Can you describe why you are looking to do this?
