Summary: Support for Inheriting Connection Parameters from Group
Key: GUACAMOLE-248
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-248
Project: Guacamole
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: guacamole-client
Reporter: Nick Couchman
Priority: Minor
One of the things that might be nice to implement is the ability to define
certain parts of a connection at the group level and then have those be
inherited by the connections. The main scenario that comes to mind is that you
want to create a balancing group of (for example) 100 RDP servers. You'd like
all of the servers to use 3389 for the port and ${GUAC_USERNAME} and
${GUAC_PASSWORD} tokens for pass-through authentication from guacamole, and the
only thing that will be different about each of the connections is the hostname
or IP address to which they connect. The ability to define most of the
settings on the connection group (or, perhaps, a "template connection" of some
sort) and then allow child connections to inherit properties from either the
parent group or template would drastically reduce the administration in
creating at least 99 of those 100 connections.
Seems like this involves either defining parameters at the connection group
level, or creating a new "template" connection type that then connections could
link to. This also seems to be fairly strictly limited to the JDBC
authentication extension - probably not something you're going to try to do in
either LDAP or a simple file mechanism, and JDBC is the only area where
connection groups are supported, anyway.
