             Summary: Add the ability to limit administrator logins via source 
IP
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-2206
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-2206
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: guacamole-auth-restrict
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
            Reporter: Tony Guadagno


Hi, as discussed in the email thread, I feel it is important to be able to 
limit administrator accounts to IP ranges. The way I would use this is I would 
limit administrator logins to our internal IP range so that external hackers 
cannot gain admin level access to the system.

  I would argue that it is as (or even more) important for these restrictions 
be available on administrator accounts as for regular users.

  I understand that this could lead to a situation where administrators are 
locked out.  I would then suggest a special startup switch that, if invoked, 
would bypass the restrictions to temporarily let admins back in.  
Alternatively, an admin could simply start guac up without the extended 
restrictions enabled...I think this would have the same effect.

 

thanks for all your work.
