I was expecting a pic of some mashed up avocados on top of a server.... disappointed.
That's their next product... Avocado Toast.

Does it support a password hash other than md5?

Yes, but I don't know which options. The only XML one shown is MD5 that I came across. If you want more than that, normally you'd be using a database.

I'm trying it with sha256 (using sha256sum), we'll see. Now where'd that web interface go?

@travisdh1 lol. It took me a minute to figure that out... http://ip.add.ress:8080/guacamole 8-)
The Windows RDP seems to be pretty good. The SSH session does funny things with my fonts...
-
I see this could be huge though. It does seem to work rather well, the only thing I find that is missing is the ability to capture the Windows short cuts like Windows +R, or Windows +D, etc.

Same issue with the fonts for me.

Cool tool. Did you have to figure out the setup on your own or was there any documentation you worked off of?

I do a lot of these, I'm not actually sure. I'm pretty sure that they had good documentation on their own site and I just compiled it into a real world installation focused on CentOS 7. If I remember correctly, this one was pretty easy to do without my work on it.

Ya I tried it back in like February or so and it had the same issue. It's like the Nightmare Before Christmas font.

Probably some easy fix, but I've not looked into really using it for that purpose so didn't care so much.

Ya that seems like such a fringe case where you would need SSH through a browser. I'm guessing they just added it because it was easy.

That's my guess. That and it is a handy many to one proxy.

This seems uber useful ... Many Thanks SAM .
How do you recommend installing it, for production use ? As a VM, to remote into other VMSs or end-points ?

Yes, a "typical" install as I imagine it is as an entry point to the network. Add NGinx in front of it, add SSL and expose that one SSL port through the firewall and let end users pick their workstations or servers from a list provided in Guacamole. Can be used with RDS and terminal services, with VDI, with physical desktops, etc.
-
And yes, definitely a VM.
-
Based on my extremely limited experience with it, I'd suggest just configuring a jumpbox, lol.

@dafyre Why? Does it not work well?

The SSH font looks like something from a circus act (this may well be an easy fix... see my screenshots above)... and the RDP plugin doesn't capture windows keys, like Alt+Tab, etc.
That's my biggest reason for suggesting a jump box.

Well you can use the same box as a jump box, too. No need to have two. But I'm sure we could fix the font easily, just no one looked at it.
