Matt Prager commented on GUACAMOLE-360:
---------------------------------------
Or users (like me :)) who have multiple connections but bookmark the link URLs
and so never wind up at the Guac homescreen either. Would there be a way for
Guac, upon noticing a user trying to connect to a currently connected session,
to put up a dialogue box a la "You are currently connected to [computer name]
on another device or tab. Would you like to disconnect that session and display
it here instead?" or somesuch?
> Autoreconnect only most recent session

> Key: GUACAMOLE-360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-360
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.9.13-incubating
> Reporter: Matt Prager
> Priority: Minor
>
> I've had an issue with Guacamole where I forget to logoff a VNC session, go
> use a completely different computer or device, try to login to the same
> session and get caught in an "autoreconnect loop" where the new session logs
> off off the old session which then autoreconnects that old session and logs
> off the new session ad inifinitum. There's no way to stop this because, if
> I'm not in front of the computer I forgot to log off, I have no way of
> shutting down that session remotely.
> Since many of us leave tabs open rather than remembering to close them, it
> seems that the behavior should be, in the event of a user trying to
> simultaneously log into the same session, that autoreconnect should only
> apply to the most recent session and the older session should be disconnected
> and remain that way.
> Otherwise, you run into a situation where you were using Guacamole at the
> office to log into a VNC session and are then unable to use Guacamole to log
> into that session from anywhere else which sort of defeats the purpose of
> remote access.
