Re: Input box to type ip?
Excellent idea, particularly for those who need to remotely admin random machines only occasionally and don't want to have to go to the trouble of setting up a new connection each time (or for whatever reason don't have access to the setup section).

I am trying to see if we can use Guacamole to provide RDP access for roughly 700 people so they can remote into their work computers if working from home.

There is some work in progress on this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-38 https://github.com/apache/guacamole-client/pull/181 I am trying to see if we can use Guacamole to provide RDP access for > roughly 700 people so they > can remote into their work computers if working from home. > > Ideally, you would pre-configure the connections for these people so they have access to only their specific computer(s) after logging in to Guacamole, pull that information from LDAP / AD, write an extension which dynamically derives these connections on a per-user basis, etc. Having an input box which allows users to connect to any arbitrary machine is not a precondition for having 700 users. Unless these users truly need absolutely unrestricted access to everything, I would instead recommend leveraging Guacamole's gateway nature and taking a more principle-of-least-privilege approach. - Mike
