Melak, A couple of things for you: 1) Do you have the database module installed into the extensions folder? You have the configuration lines for it in the guacamole.properties file, so I assume it is also present in the extensions folder? This is probably why you're still getting the login page. You could try changing the name of the NoAuth file so that it loads before the JDBC authentication file and that might resolve that issue (extensions load in alphabetical order). 2) But.....you really don't want to do that. You definitely do not want to layer NoAuth with other authentication modules, and you probably don't really want to use NoAuth at all, for a variety of reasons. The main reason is that it is no longer supported - it has been deprecated, documentation has been removed, and it probably won't be included in the source for much longer. I've been in the same situation you are - internal portal, internal servers, and wanting the simplest thing for the users possible, and trying to use NoAuth. I'd suggest using a combination of the JDBC module (for configuring connections) and the LDAP authentication module and configuring it for AD integration. Assuming your Windows servers are also talking to AD, you can use the GUAC_USERNAME and GUAC_PASSWORD tokens to pass through username/password information to the connection, which should make the Guacamole -> RDP interface pretty seamless. -Nick > > -- > View this message in context: > http://apache-guacamole-incubating-users.2363388.n4.nabble.com/Disabling-authentication-with-NoAuth-extension-tp994.html > Sent from the Apache Guacamole (incubating) - Users mailing list archive at > Nabble.com. >
