Hello, I'm trying to set up a test environment with N Windows machines that
can be connected to via RDP. The idea is to have users connect to Guacamole
with a generic user account, and then ask for the individual user's
authentication during the RDP connection phase.

The problem arises during configuration. Suppose I have a generic user who
logs into Guacamole, and then uses his user xxx to connect to the RDP
session of machine #1. I would like that session to be associated with that
user until logout, so that the second user yyy can connect with the generic
"user" to Guacamole and then connect with his user to the first free
machine, i.e. #2. Instead, as expected, user yyy tries to connect to the
first machine to which they are authorized and not to the first machine
that has free RDP.

All this stems from the need to dynamically assign machines; in production,
potentially, I have no idea what users are working at a specific time so I
cannot assign machines in 1:1 mode (I would not have enough to assign them
1:1). Moreover, there is often staff turnover, so I would have to take into
account all the new hires/resignations to change the assignment.

Obviously, nothing changes if I integrate authentication as xxx or yyy in
the first step in Guacamole, it was only to make the first step easier for
users.

Is there a way to manage this?"

Thank you very much
