You would be better off using the default GUACAMOLE_HOME location of ".guacamole" within the home directory of the Tomcat user, in your case most likely the "tomcat8" user. Doing so would not require explicitly setting GUACAMOLE_HOME to anything. Otherwise, setting environment variables such that Tomcat will expose them to the web application is complicated. Simply setting them in the profile for users, even the root user, will not have any effect on service users like the Tomcat user. The Tomcat service will set up its own, clean environment, and has its own mechanism for allowing environment variables to be set. This mechanism tends to vary by distribution, so I highly recommend simply using ".guacamole" as described above. > ... > I can navigate to the guacamole page at localhost:8080/guacamole but if i > try to login with admin, abc123 i get an invalid login error.

The Tomcat logs are what you would need to locate. If you don't see a file like "catalina.out" in /var/log/tomcat8, the Tomcat service may have been configured to log to the systemd journal (journalctl) by default. I would check there and, failing that, the documentation of your distribution. They may have documented where the Tomcat logs can be found. - Mike
