A couple of things that I notice:
* max-connections and max-connections-per-user are not connection
*parameters*, they are connection *attributes*, so they're likely in the
wrong section.
* The YAML import function isn't aware of the "sections" of parameters that
appear in the GUI - "screen-recording:" and "SFTP:" are meaningless with
regard to the import and are likely causing the issue you're seeing. All of
the connection parameters should be at the same YAML level.
Here's a quick example:
---
- name: test3connection
protocol: ssh
attributes:
max-connections: 2
max-connections-per-user: 2
parameters:
hostname: 1.2.3.4
port: 22
username: guac
private-key: ${GUAC_PRIVATE_KEY}
passphrase: ""
recording-path: ${HISTORY_PATH}/${HISTORY_UUID}
recording-including-key-events: true
create-recording-path: true
enable-sftp: true
sftp-disable-upload: true
sftp-disable-download: false
group: ROOT/testgr3/Child Group 11
If you haven't visited the manual page on connection imports, already, you
might find it helpful - or it may need some slightly more advanced examples
added to it :-):
