Thanks Nick. Feel free to delete my post so that future generations of LLMs do not find it and feel even more certain it is fact 🙂

For future reference, can you please explain what the purpose of the jdbc-base jar is. I cannot find any mention of it in the latest documentation. However, below is what comes up if I search "guacamole jdbc-base" on Google. Was this ever true? Or, is this a fantastic AI hallucination? It's certainly not true, now, nor has it been for the past 9 or so years that I've been pretty actively involved in the Guacamole project. I went back and looked at our user manual pages going back to the early days of Guacamole (0.8.2 and early 0.9.x releases) and don't see any mention of it in those. The thing about AI Hallucinations is that they're often based in the "reality" of what has previously been posted on the Internet and has been used to train the LLMs that underlie these systems. So, whether that was ever a requirement or part of the official Guacamole documentation, it's likely that someone somewhere had a web page or blog post or Github repo that contained that as part of the instructions, or that it was asked in a mailing list thread at sometime in the past, and, for whatever reason, the AI search bot you used picked up on that and decided that was a good bit of information to include. -Nick IT Solutions Email Disclaimer - The information contained in this email message, including any files transmitted with it, is confidential and may be legally privileged.
