There are a handful of ways to close the connection:
* Use the hidden Guacamole menu with the key combo Ctrl-Alt-Shift, and then
use the "Disconnect" option from the drop-down menu.
* Disconnect from the remote system.
* If you use the back arrow and you get the session in the bottom-right,
you should also see a red "X" in the corner you can use to close it.
* Close the tab that contains the session.

2024-02-20 Thread Andrea Miconi
  I understand what the problem is, quite stupid indeed.If Windows is 
configured with a Microsoft profile, the email and password of that profile 
must be used.That user has/had his own local name with a password, but now the 
Microsoft profile prevails.

I then discovered that if the user is local, but has no password (I have test 
VMs with simple credentials, no password) Guacamole refuses to authenticate 
him.Then I also discovered that it is not enough to enable remote desktop on 
Windows, but also to authorize users to receive the connection.Using RDP is not 
exactly a walk in the park.


I take this opportunity to ask how do I close a connection from the browser?If 
I go back with the left arrow, I go back to Home and then I have the session 
open on the bottom right.Is there no way to close it right away?

The FreeRDP libraries, when you connect to a server, *even when you tell it to 
ignore the certificate*, store a copy of the certificate fingerprint in a 
"known hosts" file, very similar to SSH. If the FreeRDP libraries are unable to 
write this file, because the Linux user account lacks write access to its own 
home directory, the connection *will fail.* I've run into this when running 
guacd under the "daemon" user account on EL-based platforms, as the "daemon" 
account generally has a home directory of /sbin, and generally cannot write to 
that directory. Make sure the account running guacd has a valid home directory, 
and write access to that directory.
There may be other issues that need to be addressed, but this is one of the 
ones to verify.

 Thanks for the reply.Guacamole is on a PC with a Debian 12 server installed.My 
PC is Win11 Pro.The "remote" PC (on my same table and connected to my same 
switch) is a Win10 Pro.Both PCs are updated with the latest WinUpdate.
I have also a laptop with Xubuntu 22:04, but I haven't tested whether it works 
with that yet.
I don't know anything about NLA Security, I don't know it.The two Windows PCs 
have the "Remote Desktop" feature enabled in the Windows settings.Win11 PC 
connects to Win10 using RDP without going through Guacamole.

Failed connections RDP

2024-02-18 Thread Andrea Miconi
I'm trying to connect to PCs using guacadmin, but only with VNC and SSH I 
work.With RDP the message "You have been disconnected" immediately appears.

Reading online it seems that the problem is with the reverse proxy; in this I 
forward only port 8080.
Furthermore, the firewall has no rules, only an "All Open" rule.
Finally, the problem exists both with the connection from the Internet (and in 
this case the proxy comes into play), but also from the LAN where I call 
Guacamole directly with its IP address.
>From my PC I can connect using Windows Remote Desktop, so the problem is with 
>Guacamole.

Here are the parameters in XML.
The guacamole IP address is 192.168.101.17My PC IP address is 192.168.101.33
        
        
            rdp
            192.168.101.98
