Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-945:
-----------------------------------------
I have no particularly strong opinion one way or the other, just that it
doesn't make sense to migrate if there's no net functionality difference and no
improved support outside of existing distros, etc.
I was looking for support in either libssh or libssh2 forwarding sockets
(instead of ports), but don't see it in either - there's a Jira issue that I
put out there for supporting connections using SSH forwarding, but I think we
discussed that the only really secure way to do it was using sockets, not local
tcp ports. That would be the only thing that might sway my decision one way or
the other - outside of that, sounds like we might as well stick with libssh2.

> Key: GUACAMOLE-945
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-945
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SSH
> Reporter: Joonas Tuomisto
> Assignee: Mike Jumper
> Priority: Minor
>
> It appears Red Hat / CentOS stopped shipping libssh2 in version 8 which makes
> building Guacamole a hassle on those platforms - of course, this has nothing
> to do with Guacamole as such, but would it make sense to consider other
> libraries?
> I didn't look into this in depth so not sure if there's major benefits
> feature-wise and how much work this would entail...
> libssh seems to have undergone an external security audit recently so
> security could be one consideration.
> re: CentOS, this is discussed here: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16492
