Hi Lorenzo, thanks for your reply, but I'm not in a docker environment,
it's a VM running Debian 11, I don't know if it's the same or not, but I
would like to run guacd as local user, if possible w/out a privileged
account.
Best regards,
Alessandro

Alessandro, I try to help, I remember facing a similar issue with
other “dockerized” software
The user running guacd in your case is “daemon” which has a defined
uid in the OS inside the container.
You should make the shared guacd volume(s) writable to the same UID in
host OS.
E.G. in guacamole 1.4.0 the user in the container running guacd was
“guacd” with UID 1000, and I made the writable “drive” and “record”
mapped volumes owned by UID 1000 in the host OS, that corresponds to a
existing user in my server (BTW is my user).
Maybe there is a better way, because the UID 1000 could be taken by
another account that you don’t want to give access to those directories.

*Oggetto:* Re: ISSUE with RDP on Windows after upgrade from 1.4.0 to 1.5.0
I'm not so good on systemd, could be here the issue?
[Unit]
Description=Guacamole Server
Documentation=man:guacd(8)
After=network.target
[Service]
User=daemon
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/guacd -f
Restart=on-abnormal
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
and if yes, how could I fix it? Shall I use a user w/out privileged
account to run guacd? And how to tell to systemd to use that account?
I just simple change the "User=daemon" with someting like "User=myuser"?
Best regards,
Alessandro

Hello Mike and thanks for your reply!
Here's the culprit:
Feb 21 11:09:19 hcl guacd[57447]: FreeRDP initialization may fail:
The current user's home directory ("/usr/sbin") is not writable,
but FreeRDP generally requires a writable home directory for
storage of configuration files and certificates.
I've to check what user is running guacd ATM and why it's changed
from what was before upgrade.
Still diggin into that.
Best regards,
Alessandro

Hello all,
I'm having strange issues with RDP connection but only if
I try to connect to a Windows host, if I try to connect to
a Linux host (xRDP) it works!
Here from catalina.out:
What do you see in the guacd logs?
connection fail w/out any other messages; those
connections work before upgrading; I have loaded some
extension:
* MySQL
* LDAP
* Branding
* History
I've noticed that if I load also vault all kind of
connections fail (RDP and SSH, I have only this type in my
environment); I have not try yet to unload History (this
and vault are the new I have now, the others worked also
before upgrading), could it be the coulprit?
If you have not configured that vault support, yes - there
would be errors to that effect in your Guacamole (Tomcat) logs.
