turn off VNC auto-reconnect?
Hi- we set our VNC server (TigerVNC) to disconnect a session after a
certain amount of idle time (15 minutes). When that happens, guacamole
kicks in and does a countdown of a certain number of seconds and then
automatically reconnects the connection.
I want to turn the guacamole vnc auto-reconnect off.
We are using database authentication. So, I inserted the following into the
"guacamole_connection_parameter" table:
connection_id = '97'
parameter_name = 'autoretry'
parameter_value = '0'
It did not work- guacamole still auto reconnects after the connection
timeout.
What am I missing?

Tushar,
Shame it won't work. It's been a while since I utilised that parameter
but I had an idea it might have achieved the desired outcome, albeit not
quite as you wanted technically, thanks for enlightening me.
Although I quite understand what you want to do unfortunately I can't
offer any further insight, however I trust someone else will be able to
assist.

Thanks for thinking about this- but unfortunately, that won't work.
As explained by Nick here:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/m7lof9s15n1dr2tlpkoznfstjyph59m0
api-session-timeout refers to idle time on the guac webapp UI. If there is
an active connection, guac considers that as not idle, even if there is
nothing happening on the actual remote desktop.
Regardless, we have idle timeout for the remote connection working via
TigerVNC server's -IdleTimeout parameter.
I just need help figuring out how to turn off guacamole's auto reconnect
when the VNC server closes the connection when the idle timeout is
triggered.
I found an old thread with some ideas, but not a clear solution, here:

Tushar,
I've not tried this specifically, however I wonder if you were to set
api-session-timeout to 15 in guacamole.properties whether that would
address your issue?
