Hi Guys,



I'm wondering if I can set up ssh key authentication by storing the private 
keys in LDAP for guacamole? With a parameter type of guacConfigParameter, what 
keyword would I use to describe it?

Yes, you can do this, though I'd caution you to be very careful and make sure 
that the permissions on the objects in your LDAP directory that have the 
private keys are very locked down.  Basically only the users who are going to 
run the connection should have any access to that Guacamole connection object.




Here's an excerpt from the LDIF file I'm using to create the object inside the 
LDAP directory:



guacConfigParameter: hostname=172.30.7.117

guacConfigParameter: port=22

guacConfigParameter: username=admin

guacConfigProtocol: ssh


See:
http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html#ssh

Basically, any of the parameters on that page can be put into the 
configuration, so you can use the "private-key" parameter as well as the 
"passphrase" parameter (if required).
