I believe you need to be using the JDBC authentication module, as you have to be able to define administrative users, but the Settings menu area provides the Active Connections tab, which shows current sessions and allows you to kill existing ones, and then the history tab, which shows past sessions. This seems to cover your list of items. - You asked about this functionality as it relates to guacd, but I'm not sure why you're trying to get this functionality at the guacd level instead of the Guacamole Client (or API) level? Doing it at the guacd level is certainly something that could be implemented; however, it seems like the value would be limited, as identifiers for sessions in guacd are just UUIDs, which makes it difficult to attribute sessions to certain users or connections. Also, if you can track and kill the sessions on the Guacamole Client (servlet) side, why do you need to do it for the guacd componenet? -Nick
