Guacamole enable paste & disable copy

[mekuls DL <me...@gmail.com>]

Hi,


I'm trying to figure out if I can configure Guacamole only to allow paste
but disable copy.


I spent some time chasing the changes in this PR
<https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/pull/214/files#>. I cannot see
the conditional copy logic in the current master branch.


There is no mention of this feature in the clipboard
<https://guacamole.apache.org/faq/#clipboard> section of the FAQ.


Would you happen to know if it's possible only to enable paste, but not
copy?


Cheers,

Luke M

The pull request you mention is for GUACAMOLE-381, which is slated for
version 1.2.0:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/GUACAMOLE/issues/GUACAMOLE-381?filter=allissues

So, the changes are present in both the staging/1.2.0 and master branches
of the git repos, both for the Guacamole Client and Guacamole Server
components.  In the 1.2.0 version and onward the "disable-copy" and
"disable-paste" parameters will allow you to independently control the
ability for clients to either copy or paste onto the clipboard.

You won't see it in any of the website documentation until it is released.
I'm not sure if it will make it into the FAQ or not - that'll depend on how
frequently we get the question :-).
