You'd have to either reference or store the protocol-level settings, or at least copies of the ones you want access to, in such a way as to allow you to access them after the protocol-level code has been closed. But, more basically, why do you need to do this? Why not use the protocol-level code to accomplish this and just modify that to do what you want. The current guacd code already has extensive user join and leave handlers, and add and remove user functions, several of which are designed to be called within the protocol handler and that can probably do what you're trying to do at the time that a user leaves a connection: https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/blob/4577484c9e8fc1fdbc20e55d02da4696b7d301b1/src/libguac/guacamole/user.h#L418-L435 https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/blob/4577484c9e8fc1fdbc20e55d02da4696b7d301b1/src/libguac/guacamole/client.h#L224-L245 https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/blob/4577484c9e8fc1fdbc20e55d02da4696b7d301b1/src/libguac/guacamole/client.h#L263-L279 https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/blob/4577484c9e8fc1fdbc20e55d02da4696b7d301b1/src/libguac/guacamole/client.h#L457-L478 https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/blob/4577484c9e8fc1fdbc20e55d02da4696b7d301b1/src/protocols/rdp/user.c#L151-L166 Why not just work with those - or, if you're determined to write your own version of guacd, look at the way those are implemented in the official version of guacd and do something similar? -Nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
