Took a look at the available SSH client options, and I do not see an obvious way to pass through the client hostname/IP/identity to the server. Here are the two options I see:- As mentioned before, you can use the Execute Command parameter to pass through the identity using the token. You'd have to set up a startup script or something like that, or figure out the right way to use the execute command option to set a variable and then launch the shell or whatever application you want to launch with that variable. This is the only way to do it currently, and probably the best bet.- It is possible to set up SSH clients and servers to send environment variables between the client and server. I would imagine Guacamole could be tweaked to add this functionality...but...it seems like a little bit of a corner case to add, particularly given that you'd have to both configure Guacamole to have some map of arbitrary environment variables and values (and sanitize them for security purposes), and, in order for this to work, the SSH server has to be configured, not just to allow variables, but with the specific list of variables that you want to pass through. That's a lot of extra configuration to allow this behavior - particularly given the fact that you can just do it on the command line. -Nick

I need to look and see if there's an easy way to enable this functionality in Guacamole, but the only thing I'd suggest today is that you might be able to find a way to use the "Execute Command" parameter for SSH connections to pass in that token. -Nick On Wednesday, August 23, 2017, 9:34:55 AM EDT, Tjareson <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, I'm using an ncurses based database application, which makes use of the IP address of the ssh session from which it got used to e.g. chose the right printer, rfid reader etc. This became web enabled now with guacamole and I was wondering if there is any easy way to get hold of the IP address of the web session which is used to connect via ssh to that application mentioned above. The setup is like this: user <-> nginx <-> tomcat <-> guacd <-> ssh <-> ncurses application All components from nginx to the ncurses application are on the same server. But of course from the application side it looks always that the connection is coming from where tomcat/guacd sits, so 127.0.0.1 in this case. I could probably somehow browse through all logs, /proc/<process-id>/status and netstat to somehow figure out, who is talking with whom, but I hope there is a more convenient approach for this? I found that there is ${GUAC_CLIENT_ADDRESS} but I'm not sure if there is any way to hand that over via ssh session. regards Tjareson
