We have created a helpdesk application that works like this:
The client has a Java application that unpacks a VNC server and runs it
on the localhost.
Then connects via SSH to the guacamole server and creates 2 tunnels, one
server to client for the VNC connection, and another one from client to
server for configuration.
The server has a guacamole extension that creates connections at
runtime. For that it listens on a fixed local port and the client
connects through the client->server SSH tunnel. The client then sends
the listening port of the server->client SSH tunnel and the VNC password
(randomly generated) to the extension, and the extension creates the
connection.
On the guacamole web application you just need to refresh the page and
the connection appears.
If the client closes the application, the guacamole extension detects
that the socket is closed and removes the connection.
It works very well and the only port publicly exposed by the guacamole
server is the SSH port.
