Summary: Improve RemoteApp Handling of Multiple Applications
Key: GUACAMOLE-1951
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1951
Project: Guacamole
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: RDP
Reporter: Nick Couchman
The way RemoteApp connections are currently handled by Guacamole fails to take
advantage of the fact that multiple applications can be opened with the same
RDP connection, and thus causes some less-than-ideal behavior if you, for
example, try to open multiple applications on the same RDP server. Currently,
Guacamole will attempt a new RDP connection to the same server to launch the
application. This can result in:
* The initial connection being terminated by the RDP server (in the case where
the RDP server enforces a single connection per user), OR...
* ...extra resources being allocated for each login in the case where the RDP
server allows users to log in multiple times.
* The new connection that is opened containing both of the applications that
you have launched, but not necessarily activating the correct application (it
may be behind another one on the desktop.
In order to improve Remote App (RAIL) support in Guacamole, we probably need to
do a few things:
* Track connections to a RDP host based on server, port, username, and domain
name.
* Implement a mechanism for safely and securely re-use existing RDP
connections to launch additional applications on the same server.
* Track the RAIL windows open on a given connection, and close down the RDP
connection when the last window is closed
* And probably other things...
