You said: "I tried all and it is not on https.."

This is your issue. As Mike mentioned, the Chrome API *ONLY* works with
HTTPS access. This has nothing to do with policies on the server or the RDP
server, nothing to do with Guacamole - this is a *Google Chrome*
feature/limitation, and HTTPS is *REQUIRED* in order to support transparent
Copy/Paste support with the Clipboard API. It does not matter that you can
use the hidden Ctrl-Shift-Alt menu to paste - this is expected to work
fine. The issue is not between Guacamole and RDP, the issue is that
allowing transparent Copy/Paste is something that the Google Chrome
development team considers to be security-relevant (due to privacy
concerns, I would imagine), and requires both HTTPS access to the site
(e.g. Guacamole) and explicit permission on the part of the user.

If you want transparent copy/paste support to work in Chrome, set up
Guacamole with HTTPS (which is something you should do, anyway).
