Mike is working on this and has provided the link to the branch of his git repo where he's working on it. You can likely see his orders there, and I would guess there has been some since August.

We understand. It's why it is the single highest priority JIRA issue we have and it's currently blocking our next release. Those of us who develop Guacamole also use it, so we experience the same pain you so in needing this support. > So please let me know when I can expect a working freerdp2 implementation > and a configuration howto > I cannot provide this estimate. Mike might be able to, but he's writing the code and then it'll need to be tested and reviewed prior to merge. It's not going to be tomorrow or this week, and I would say it's unlikely to be released in 2019. Please also understand that *everyone* involved in this project does so on a volunteer basis. You're not interacting with paid developers at a commercial software organization - we have day jobs to pay our bills, and those demand varying amounts of time from us that impact our ability to volunteer time to the project. Add things like family and community time to that, and sometimes the amount of time we're able to spend hacking away at code for free gets pretty small. If I could have my way I'd get paid to do nothing but write code for Guacamole because I love it that much, but that isn't the reality today for me or any of the team members. btw.: to duplicate an active session would be important too. > Connection sharing already exists in Guacamole. The ability to have an administrator connect to already active sessions has already been committed to the git master and will be released in the future (not 1.1.0). -Nick
