------------------------------------------------------------------

The automatic reconnect shouldn't occur if the connection is closed due to invalid login. There are specific error codes returned by the RDP server that indicate the reason for the disconnect, and Guacamole should be transforming those codes into its own which are handled client-side. The automatic reconnect then only takes place when the nature of the error is likely to be transient and resolved after a reconnect.

EDIT: To clarify, I'm not saying the above are details to be implemented via this issue; the above is already implemented and is the expected current behavior. If you're seeing different, then I would say that behavior is a bug to be investigated, not necessarily a use case for reconnect limits.

>
> Using guacamole for 60+ users I've realized that sometimes, RDP hosts "go away" because of hardware issues, dns issues, etc and users might not be aware of it. 
>  For example, they leave their computer with the browser open with session established and going on... When this happens, Guacamole tries to auto-reconnect every 15 seconds without any limitation (some times indefinitely) and also, SESSION TIMER is renewed because of fake? user activity.
>  I've implemented a counter which allows automatic reconnection attempts for up to 4 tries. When tried 4 times, countdown timer is not further applied and so user is left with manual Reconnect dialog prompt as usual.
> I `ve not implemented a visual indication like 1/4 2/4,etc because it involves transalations and other "more complex" stuff.
