This guidance may work with other Amahi versions with some modification.

== Installing REF: [http://www.tecmint.com/guacamole-access-remote-linux-windows-machines-via-web-browser/ Setting Up Web-Based Guacamole on Amahi ===== Dependencies ===The following dependencies are included so as Tool to make as many features in Guacamole available to the installer.Access Remote Linux/Windows Machines]

For Fedora 23 We have created a bash script to make installation simple or higher{{Codeyou can manually install using the guidance below.

You can change your password by editing your own user in the administration screen. =Access Outside the Network = If you want Guacamole's Configuration File web interface to be accessible outside of your LAN you will have to forward a random, unused port (1111, for example) to port 8080 in your router.  Then when you access Guacamole from outside your LAN you will need to add ''/guacamole'' to the end of your url. (<nowiki>http://servername.yourhda.com:1111/guacamole</nowiki>). If you do not add ''/guacamole'' to your url, you will see a blank page since you did not specify which application in Tomcat you wanted to access. The safest and most secure method to access Guacamole is using [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN] and an [[OpenVPN_clients|OpenVPN client]] from a smart phone, tablet, or computer. =Making Preset Connections in Guacamole = In Guacamole, an administrative User can create Connections that will be available to Guacamole users. == Enabling RDP in Windows Home and Basic Editions ==Create "Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a directory proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft, which provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection." ''1'' If you do not have Windows pro or ultimate versions you have to run a patch that activates RDP. RDP Wrapper Library is an option for enabling RDP features. (Use this at your own risk. Please read RDP Wrapper Library literature and follow directions to install. Any problems are to be addressed with RDP Wrapper Library support.) https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases If you have Windows Professional or Ultimate, you will need to "Allow Remote Access to Your Computer."

Now create Note: Using RDP, only one device at a symbolic link of this file time can be logged in under a specific user. If you are logging into a Windows computer by the user "Fred" by RDP using Guacamole, any other device signed in as "Fred" will be logged out. The side effect is that, when using RDP, a technician (using Guacamole) and client (on their Window computer) cannot see the same active desktop simultaneously. As a workaround, one can set up a VNC and an RDP connection for Tomcat{{Code| Code = sudo ln -s /etc/guacamole/guacamoleeach Windows computer.properties /usr/share/tomcat/RDP can be quicker and more fluid so use RDP when working alone and VNC when one needs to see what is currently happening on a Users computer under their account.guacamole/}}
