Alright guys. I have an update to this story. I put together a small java class for the purpose of testing JDBC functionality on the EC2 instance in question. I was able to execute a query successfully against my database using the same MySQL jar that resides in my /etc/guacamole/lib folder. So I am fairly confident now there is an issue with my configuration, the RDS cluster is not the issue. I tried to do the bare minimum config according to the docs. The current layout of my /etc/guacamole directory:
/etc/guacamole/lib/mysql-connector-java-8.0.12.jar /etc/guacamole/extensions/guacamole-auth-jdbc-mysql-0.9.14.jar My guacamole.properties file is as follows: # Guacd settings guacd-hostname: localhost guacd-port: 4822 # MySQL properties mysql-hostname: <hostname> mysql-port: 3306 mysql-database: <db> mysql-username: <user> mysql-password: <password> -- Sent from: http://apache-guacamole-general-user-mailing-list.2363388.n4.nabble.com/
