Andrzej Dorobisz commented on GUACAMOLE-667:
--------------------------------------------
We think it's quite natural feature for many applications to point
configuration file at program startup.
Use case is as follows:
* we have few versions of configuration file (e.g. for test purposes)
* we choose which configuration to use during program startup (rather then
swapping _guacd.conf_ file each time)
* user (tester) may not have permissions to "_/etc/guacamole_" directory
> Enable loading configuration file from other locations than default

> Key: GUACAMOLE-667
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-667
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: guacd
> Reporter: Andrzej Dorobisz
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, when the guacamole-server daemon starts (_src/guacd/daemon.c_) the
> configuration file is loaded ({{guacd_conf_load()}} in
> _src/guacd/conf-file.c_) but the path to the configuration file is fixed.
> This path is read from {{GUACD_CONF_FILE}} variable, which is set to
> "_/etc/guacamole/guacd.conf_" during ./configure process.
> {code:java}
> ./configure.ac:AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([GUACD_CONF_FILE], ["$guacd_conf"], [The
> full path to the guacd config file])
> ./configure: guacd_conf=/etc/guacamole/guacd.conf
> {code}
> We propose to enable loading of the configuration file from the path provided
> (on the program startup) by the user.
