About #1 I've never used that, so I can't tell... but regarding #2 look at /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini to set the maxsessions allowed... but I think that works mostly for concurrent connections with different users...

Although its possible to have several simultaneous connections with the same user on xrdp some software may complain if they are already in use in one of the existing session... you may want to look at:

Glad to know this is the right place to ask. As I said, I got quite familiar with Guacamole's docs during last week, but I did not achieve much (besides gaining some general knowledge and learning some basic concepts, which I appreciate 🙃)

I will try my best to be more specific, but please feel free to ask for anything I may miss.

Our setup consists of the following:

* Our host machine (in which Guacamole is installed and to which we are connecting remotely) is running Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS * Guacamole (and guacd) are installed via Docker, following this template on GitHub [1]

We are able to access the Guacamole application and, through it, the host machine remotely.

However, we are failing to cover some specific use cases:

* We have configured an RDP connection to launch an initial program (a basic calculator provided by gnome), but this setting seems to be ignored * We have configured the maximum numbers of connections and connections per user to 10, but we cannot have more than one concurrent connection to the same user

Regarding issue #1, and first of all, we would like to know whether this is something that should be doable in our current setup (i.e. targeting UNIX systems). If that is the case, where should we start looking for the issue? The logs generated during the connection do not provide much information... Anyway, we are attaching them to this email, both using system defaults and with debug mode ON for both guacamole and guacd (although these are quite verbose).

Regarding issue #2, as per Lee Doughty's comment, I guess we will need to investigate if there is a way to enable concurrent sessions for the same user in Ubuntu and/or xrdp. If anyone has some information regarding this, we would appreciate you sharing it.

Thanks for taking the time to read this email. See you soon!,

It's a fairly common misconception -- Guacamole can't work around OS limitations on concurrent sessions. Really it's the OS that decides how to handle a second session, not Guacamole... Guacamole can do a view only share (I believe, I don't use the feature) but I think that's it. So if you want 2 people interactively using the same server at the same time, using RDP, you need to look into your OS options around that.

I'm not up to date on Windows, but I believe only Terminal Services supported multiple RDP connections.. though I imagine things have changed in the last decade.

Hello there,

first of all, I am not sure this is the proper channel to raise this kind of request, so I apologise in advance if it isn't and would appreciate being redirected to the proper channels (if any such channel exists.)

I am quite new to Apache Guacamole, I have barely just installed it using a docker-compose setup found on GitHub [3], which at first glance looked OK for starters.

Problem is, after creating some RDP connections, I am not able to have some basic functionality working (such as initial program or concurrent sessions...). I have already spent a few working days diving into Guacamole's docs (installation, configuration, usage...) and into the repository above (checking configuration files, contents of docker containers, logs...) to no avail.

I understand this is way too generic for anyone to provide an answer, but I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to start debugging my installation or to get a better understanding of what may be happening under the hood.

This mailing list is a great place to start - hopefully the community, here, can help get you going in the right direction. In addition to that, the Guacamole Manual (Guacamole User Guide, or GUG), is a good place to start reading:

https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/

Beyond that, yeah, we're going to need some additional detail from you, probably log entries, or, at the very least, some very specific descriptions of the behavior you're seeing.
