Hello,

I have recently installed Guacamole and Guacd (with a PostgreSQL database
for authentication/ authorization), and I have a question about shared
sessions.

>From what I can tell, each time a user logs into the Guacamole web
interface and tries to access a VNC screen, a new connection from guacd to
the VNC server is established.  However, when a session is shared via a
link, guacd does not establish an additional connection to the VNC.

In my use case, I have limited bandwidth to VNC servers that several users
need to be able to view (read-only) simultaneously.  Is it possible to
configure Guacamole so that when a user attempts to open a new VNC screen
from the web interface guacamole checks to see if there is already a
connection to that VNC (i.e., someone else is already connected to it).
Then, if a connection exists the user should just join a shared session and
only create a new connection to the VNC if none exists?  Of course, it
would also be necessary for the connection to remain until all users who
are using it have disconnected (not only the one who created the
connection).

If Guacamole can't do this, how would one start to implement it?

I apologize if this is not the correct place for this post.  I am new to
Guacamole/ Guacd and would gladly appreciate any advice that could be
shared.
