Friends, We are trying to upgrade a server that uses Guacamole / Tomcat7 on Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 with Tomcat 8 or 9.
You can try out the server yourself, by going to http://agora.cs.calvin.edu:8080/. Each time we get close to having it work, we see this error show up in the console of the browser: POST http://agora.cs.calvin.edu:8080/agora/api/tokens 403 Drilling down on that in Chrome, I find: * Request URL: http://agora.cs.calvin.edu:8080/agora/api/tokens * Request Method: POST * Status Code: 403 * Remote Address: 153.106.116.108:8080 * Referrer Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade 1.

Is this some new security added in tomcat8 or 9 that we need to account for? Or is it a file permissions issue somehow? I'd really appreciate any insight anyone has. Thanks.
