Hi Mike,
After modifying /etc/guacamole/user-mapping.xml IT WORKS! Thank
you so much for your quick and most helpful answer!
1) I preferred installing from the repository because I felt it more
easy and I only later found the very complete description of how to
install the newer version from source.
_Can I still do this? Will it overwrite the older version or do I first
have to uninstall the old one?_
2) I defined a user for tomcat out of despair because I believed that
its lacking might be a reason for my problem. Now I understand that this
is not necessary
3) I completely ignored xml synthax and believed that the example would
work as such and did not need to be modified.
_4) I still cannot login into VNC and, when hitting 'Default' it tries
to initalize but then I get the message: 'Error initializing VNC client'
despite it is running and I can connect to it via a VNC client by using
the same password that is specified in user-mapping.xlm ('xyz' see
below). What might be the reason? Does the password have to be the same
for both, i.e. 'tomcat'?
_
<authorize username="tomcat" password="tomcat">
<protocol>vnc</protocol>
<param name="hostname">localhost</param>
<param name="port">5901</param>
<param name="password">xyz</param>
</authorize>
best, Dieter
