Yes, I'm likely the one who has mentioned it, in response to queries about
Guacamole supporting HTTP(S) as a protocol. There are probably situations
and configurations that could work out, but there are certainly challenges
to work through and maybe even things that won't work. My mentions of it
have been, to my recollection, generic and theoretical, and certainly in
need of proving in the real world :-). I'll try to get some time to play
around with a more real-world configuration and see if I can get something
to work.

Cool, this sounds like a workable solution. As far as the shared profile
directory, if it were me, I would certainly launch each individual user
with a different/separate profile, but you can find a configuration that
works for you.
