Guacamole Connection Sharing: URL generation

[doyouhas <zj...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I am back with a question regarding the generation of the shared connection
key. I would like to hook into my application a way for my users to access
these links, however since these keys are not stored in the database, I need
to know how the hash is computed so I can generate them on my end. If
someone could point me to the location in the source where this is done,
it'd be greatly appreciated!

The share keys are generated by the extension sharing the connection
(presumably the database auth). They are actually more abstract than a
simple key and are arbitrary credentials, though it is true that the
database auth generates a random key to be provided via a specific query
parameter. In the general case, an extension can do just about anything
with its requirements for accessing a shared connection.

Sharing credentials for an active connection are generated with a REST
request. I would recommend connecting to and sharing a connection while the
network tab of dev tools is open so you can see the overall exchange. There
will be a request which contains JSON describing the sharing credentials to
be provided to access the shared connection.
