First, I want to say that Guacamole is awesome. I've followed since the very
early days of development, and just recently dug back into the project. It's
fantastic, and I think we have several potential areas to use it across the
company - between enabling remote desktop connectivity on tablets and ultra
books, and application delivery, it is proving to be quite useful.
I'm running into one situation, specifically when doing application delivery,
that I could use some help with. In this particular instance I have Guacamole
set up with the No Auth plugin, and am using it to connect to Windows-based
hosts over RDP. No credentials are being stored, and the users must
authenticate with their AD credentials to the Windows system, so it's a pretty
low-risk scenario for using No Auth. What I'd really like to do, however, is
set up specific hostnames that redirect to a Guacamole connection. I'm using
Apache to front the HTTP connections and using mod_proxy to connect to Tomcat.
Let's say my server is guacamole.example.local, but that I want
<application>.apps.example.local to redirect to
guacamole.example.local/guacamole/#/client/<connection id>. I've tried several
Apache incantations to get this working, and have not stumbled across the
correct configuration. My most recent set of configs looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName erp.apps.example.local
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/guac/ flushpackets=on
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/guac/
RewriteRule / "/#/client/SUZTIExpdmUAYwBub2F1dGg=" [NE]
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /guac /
</VirtualHost>
So, in that particular example, what I believe should happen is that everything
destined for erp.apps.example.local should get proxied over to Tomcat and the
Guacamole URL, and then the request for the / URL should get rewritten to
connect to the specific configuration URL listed above. However, this seems to
just end up taking me back to the home page. I've also tried the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName erp.apps.example.local
ProxyPass /
http://localhost:8080/guac/#/client/SUZTIExpdmUAYwBub2F1dGg= flushpackets=on
nocanon
ProxyPassReverse /
http://localhost:8080/guac/#/client/SUZTIExpdmUAYwBub2F1dGg= nocanon
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /guac /
</VirtualHost>
This was my original scenario, and I was hoping this would allow for
erp.apps.example.local to just be entered with no additional trailing URL data,
and autoamtically make the connection, but that doesn't seem to work, either.
Any hints for me, here? Is what I'm trying to accomplish possible?
Thanks,
Nick
