per-connection guacd

[flittermice <fl...@gmx.at>]

Hello,

in the release notes I read about this interesting new feature
(GUACAMOLE-189 - Add support for per-connection guacd) and I wonder how to
configure that. 
I suppose that has to be done in the user-mapping.xml file, but I can't find
any documentation on it.

Does it work already or is the feature yet to be released?

Thanks very much!
Flittermice

Yeah, based on what Mike said, you'll have to use the JDBC authentication
module if you want this feature - which you probably should be using,
anyway, if you're doing any sort of serious Guacamole install.

Thank you, Nick and Mike, for your answers!

I can confirm that (literally) adding
             xyz
to user-mapping.xml doesn't have any effect. 
I can still connect :-)

Greetings, 
Flittermice

The per-connection guacd feature is definitely specific to the
database auth. The simplified user-mapping.xml auth mechanism does not
provide a means of specifying a different guacd for each connection
(though that may need to change once the X.Org driver stabilizes).

The feature was released in Guacamole 0.9.13-incubating, and so it should
work; however, I'm not entirely certain if it works with the basic user
mapping authentication module, or if you need to use JDBC.  I don't
currently use it, and the only place I see documentation for those
parameters is in the JDBC module.

Mike might be able to chime in with confirmation on whether it should work
with basic user mapping - the connection attributes you're looking for are
proxy_hostname, proxy_port, and proxy_encryption_method.  You're welcome to
give those a try and see if they work.
