{{MessageBox|backgroundcolor = #faa|image =Warning.png|heading =WARNING|message =This is recommended only for advanced users, proceed with caution.}}= What is Guacamole? == [https://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/ Guacamole ] is an HTML5 remote desktop gatewaythat can be installed on Amahi 9 (Fedora 23). This guidance may work with other Amahi versions with some modification.
Guacamole provides access to desktop environments using remote desktop protocols like VNC and RDP. A centralized server acts as a tunnel and proxy, allowing access to multiple desktops through a web browser.
No browser plugins are needed, and no client software needs to be installed. The client requires nothing more than a web browser supporting HTML5 and AJAX.
== Installing Guacamole on Amahi ===== Dependencies ===*tomcat6 *libvncserver *freerdp (This is official on the Guacamole siteREF: [http://www. Fedora 14 will not support Freerdp 1tecmint.0 or higher, thus RDP protocol in com/guacamole-access-remote-linux-windows-machines-via-web-browser/ Setting Up Web-Based Guacamole is not available. Leave freerdp out of the code below if you are running Fedora 14.)*libvorbisTool to Access Remote Linux/Windows Machines]
In terminal, = Install Guacamole =<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .8em 1em; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 0px 1em;">'''WARNING:''' All commands in this tutorial are executed as <code>root, install dependencies </code> (or precede with the following:<code>sudo</code>).</div>

We have created a bash script to make installation simple or you can manually install using the guidance below. You '''MUST''' complete the [[Guacamole#Create Amahi Web App|Create Amahi Web App]] step prior to executing the following: wget <nowiki>https://www.dropbox.com/s/4hadafih8ahuj2n/install-guacamole.sh</nowiki> chmod 755 install-guacamole.sh ./install-guacamole.sh Do NOT use this script on anything less than Amahi 9 / Fedora 23 unless you edit it first to match your systems' requirements. (See [[Guacamole#Install Dependencies|Install Dependencies]] to learn what changes are necessary.) === Preparing Create Amahi =Web App ==Login to your Amahi Dashboard and choose "Set Up" install the Amahi [https://www.amahi.org/apps/web-apps Web Apps] plug-in the upper right.Ensure you '''enable''' [[Advanced Settings]]. 
Now select the "Apps" tab.
Click on "Webapps" and on the page that comes up choose the "New Web App" button at the bottom.
Fill in the name (guacamole) and leave everything else as it is.
Edit ''####-guacamole.conf'' in '''/etc/httpd/conf.d''' (replacing #### with the appropriate number): vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/####-guacamole.conf Right below the ''ServerAlias'' line, add the following: ProxyPass / <nowiki>http://localhost:8080/guacamole/</nowiki> ProxyPassReverse / <nowiki>http://localhost:8080/guacamole/</nowiki> Again, if you use vi for creating this file, press the <i>Esc</i> key to get back in command mode and <i>:wq</i> to write the changes and quit vi. Restart Apache systemctl restart httpd ==Install Dependencies == Downloading Due to the Fedora 23 ''freerdp'' packages being unstable, we must use the CentOS stable version. (Do not do this if you are installing on Fedora 21 or below) To install, execute the following:<pre>wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/p2uc1rcpckky75v/libxkbfile-1.0.8-5.el7.x86_64.rpmwget https://www.dropbox.com/s/0tjm7q93z9pw0hj/freerdp-libs-1.0.2-6.el7_2.1.x86_64.rpmwget https://www.dropbox.com/s/aysml7coehz0hqi/freerdp-devel-1.0.2-6.el7_2.1.x86_64.rpmrpm -Uvh libxkbfile-1.0.8-5.el7.x86_64.rpmrpm -Uvh freerdp-libs-1.0.2-6.el7_2.1.x86_64.rpmrpm -Uvh freerdp-devel-1.0.2-6.el7_2.1.x86_64.rpm</pre>  Now install the Fedora dependencies:For Fedora 23 or newer (Fedora 21, substitute <code>yum</code> for <code>dnf</code> and add <code>freerdp-devel</code> to the Binary Packages list of dependencies): dnf install tomcat gcc cairo-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel uuid-devel pango-devel \ libssh2-devel libtelnet-devel libvncserver-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel openssl-devel \ libvorbis-devel libwebp-devel dejavu-sans-mono-fonts terminus-fonts terminus-fonts-console == Configure MySQL Authentication =====Install MySQL Authentication Module ===Create a working directory and move there mkdir -p /var/hda/web-apps/guacamole/sqlauth && cd /var/hda/web-apps/guacamole/sqlauth Download Guacamole's authorization moduleGo to wget <nowiki>http://guacsourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/current/extensions/guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.9.tar.gz</nowiki> Unpack it tar -zxf guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.9.tar.gz Download MySQL and Java Connector wget <nowiki>http://dev.orgmysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector/j/mysql-connector-java-5.1.38.tar.gz</nowiki> Unpack it tar -zxf mysql-connector-java-5.1.38.tar.gz Create directories for the extensions in Tomcat's folders mkdir -p /usr/share/tomcat/.guacamole/{extensions,lib} Move the modules to their respective directories. mv guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.9/ mysql/guacamole-auth-jdbc-mysql-0.9.9.jar /usr/share/tomcat/.guacamole/extensions/ mv mysql-connector-java-5.1.38/mysql-connector-java-5.1.38-bin.jar /usr/share/tomcat/.guacamole/lib/  Restart MariaDB systemctl restart mariadb === Create the Database === hda-create-db-and-user guacdb === Configure Database Settings ===Create a directory for the configuration file. mkdir -p /etc/guacamole/ Create a file called "guacamole.properties" in that directory vi /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties Press the <i>i</i> key to begin inserting text into the guacamole.properties file and choose from include the following contents: # MySQL properties mysql-hostname: localhost mysql-port: 3306 mysql-database: guacdb mysql-username: guacdb mysql-password: guacdb # Additional settings mysql-default-max-connections-per-user: 0 mysql-default-max-group-connections-per-user: 0 If you use vi for creating this file, press the table <i>Esc</i> key to get back in command mode and <i>:wq</i> to write the binary packages changes and quit vi. Now create a symbolic link of this file for Tomcat ln -s /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties /usr/share/tomcat/.guacamole/ === Load Guacamole Data ===The schema for your systemMySQL was downloaded in the previous process.

=== Installing Guacamole ===In terminal, change directories to where Create a symbolic link of the packages downloaded and execute the following as root:file for Tomcat.{{Code|Code = # tar ln -xzf s /var/lib/guacamole-0.8.0-fedora-15-i386.tar.gz# cd /guacamole-0.8.0-fedora-15-i386war /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/# rpm -i *.rpm}}*Be aware that you may have to adjust the above code to match the file name you downloaded.
=== Setting up MySQL Authentication =Update Amahi Web App Files ====== Making the Directory ====As root, create the "classpath" Create Symbolic links between guacamole in Tomcat and Amahi's web app directory{{Code|Code = mkdir ln -s /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/guacamole/* /var/hda/web-apps/guacamole/classpath}}html
==== Installing MySQL Authentication Module ====Download Make sure the owner of all the file is ''apache'' and the MySQL Authentication Modulegroup is ''users''.http chown -R apache:users /var/sourceforge.nethda/projects/guacamole/files/current/extensionsweb-apps/guacamole-auth-mysql-0.8.0.tar.gz/download
Move to the directory containing the download and unpack the download== Start Guacamole Server ==Restart Tomcat. ​systemctl restart tomcat
{{Code|Code = # tar -xzf guacamole-auth-mysql-0Start Guacamole Server.8.0.tar.gz}}*Be aware that you may have to adjust the above code to match the file name you downloaded /etc/init.d/guacd start
Configure Guacamole Server to start at boot.
systemctl enable tomcat
chkconfig guacd on
Copy all of = Log In to Guacamole =You can access the ".jar" files web login screen for Guacamole from computers in the network via '''<nowiki>http:/lib of the downloaded file to the classpath directory you created.{{Code|Code = cp -r /whereever/you/downloaded/it****:8080/guacamole-auth-mysql-0.8.0/lib</nowiki>''' (Where the ''****'' is the IP address of your Amahi server).jar /var/lib/guacamole/classpath}}
You need one more ".jar" file (MySQL Connector-J)that The default user name/password is not included in the guacamole-auth-mysql module''guacadmin''/''guacadmin''. You can get it here: http://dev.mysqlchange your password by editing your own user in the administration screen.com/downloads/connector/j/
Move = Access Outside the Network =If you want Guacamole's web interface to be accessible outside of your LAN you will have to forward a random, unused port (1111, for example) to the directory containing the download and unpack the downloadport 8080 in your router.
{{Code|Code = # tar -xzf mysql-connector-java-5.1.25.tar.gz}}*Be aware that Then when you access Guacamole from outside your LAN you may have will need to adjust the above code add ''/guacamole'' to match the file name you downloadedend 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.
Copy mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-bin.jar The safest and most secure method to the classpath directory you created.{{Code|Code = cp -r /whereever/you/downloadedaccess Guacamole is using [https:/it/mysql-connector-java-5www.1amahi.25org/apps/mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-binopenvpn OpenVPN] and an [[OpenVPN_clients|OpenVPN client]] from a smart phone, tablet, or computer.jar /var/lib/guacamole/classpath}}
==== Making the MySQL Tables ====Now we need to create a MySQL Table that Preset Connections in Guacamole can use{{Code|Code = $ mysql -u root -pEnter password: default for Amahi is hdamysql> CREATE DATABASE guacamole;Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> CREATE USER 'guacamole'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_password';Query OKIn Guacamole, 0 rows affected (0an administrative User can create Connections that will be available to Guacamole users.00 sec)
mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE== Enabling RDP in Windows Home and Basic Editions =="Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft,DELETE ON guacamolewhich provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection.* TO " 'guacamole'@1'localhost';Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;Query OK, 0 rows affected (0If you do not have Windows pro or ultimate versions you have to run a patch that activates RDP.02 sec)
mysql> quitBye}}The database RDP Wrapper Library is an option for enabling RDP features. (Use this at your own risk. Please read RDP Wrapper Library literature and user can follow directions to install. Any problems are to be named whatever you like, but these instructions will refer to both as "guacamole"addressed with RDP Wrapper Library support. Naturally, you should choose a real password for your user rather than the string "some_password" shown above) https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases
==== Running the SQL scripts ====If you have Windows Professional or Ultimate, you will need to "Allow Remote Access to Your Computer." (A simple Internet search of this phrase with your Windows version offers many tutorials on this.)
The SQL scripts that create == Guacamole RDP Connections to Windows Computers ==After you have login to Guacamole click on your login name in the database schema and default administrator user are included in upper right . In the guacamole-auth-mysqldrop-0down menu choose "Settings.8.0 archive you downloaded within " Click on the schema/ directory. Change directories to Connections tab on the guacamole-auth-mysql-0.8.0 archivesettings page.{{Code|Code = cd /whereever/you/downloaded/it/guacamole-auth-mysql-0.8Click the "New Connection" button.0/schema}}
The scripts Below are named such that they can be run some VERY basic settings for an RDP connection in order with one commandGuacamole:{{Code|Code = $ cat schema/*.sql | mysql -u root -p guacamoleEnter password: default for Amahi is hda$}}
==== Configuring Guacamole Name: whatever you want to Use MySQL Authentication ====call it (One can put "RDP" within the name so as to differentiate between connections types in the list)You will need to edit /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties Location: ROOT Protocol: RDP
Start at the line "# Hostname and port Maximum number of guacamole proxy" and replace everything below it with thisconnections:2 Maximum number of connections per user:2
guacd-hostnameHost Name: localhost guacd-port: 4822 # Auth provider class (authenticates user/pass combination, needed if using The fixed IP address of the provided login screen) auth-provider: netcomputer to which you wished to connect.sourceforge(For example ''192.guacamole168.net1.auth.mysql.MySQLAuthenticationProvider basic-user-mapping: /etc/guacamole/user-mapping.xml10'') # Location to read extra All the other settings are left either blank or as they were.jar's from lib-directory: /var/lib/guacamole/classpath # MySQL properties mysql-hostname: localhost mysql-port: 3306 mysql-database: guacamole mysql-username: guacamole mysql-password: some_password
Use the real password Note: Using RDP, only one device at a time can be logged in under a specific user. If you chose when creating the MySQL database for are logging into a Windows computer by the user "Fred" by RDP using Guacamole database , any other device signed in place of the string as "some_passwordFred" as shown abovewill 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 each Windows computer. 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.
=== Deploying Guacamole ===To deploy GuacamoleSpecial Note: Once settings are in place, you must make two symbolic links: one effectively copying users can click on their User Name in the web application (now located at /var/lib/guacamole/guacamole.war) into the directory Tomcat monitors for web application deployment, upper right corner and choose "Home" from the other effectively copying drop-down menu to return to the configuration file, guacamole.properties, into the Tomcat's classpath, such that Guacamole can find it once it runs. This must be done as root:{{Code|Code = # ln -s /var/lib/guacamole/guacamole.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps# ln home screen and use pre-s /etc/guacamole/guacamoleconfigured connections.properties /usr/share/tomcat6/lib}}
Restart Tomcat== Guacamole VNC Connections to Computers =={{Code|Code = service tomcat6 restart}}"In computing, Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction, over a network."''2''
Start In order to connect through Guacamoleto a client device by VNC, one needs to install VNC client software on the device and configure it to the user's service{{Code|Code = service guacd start}}desired specifications. In this publication, we will use a Windows based client and UltraVNC software, though this is by no means prescriptive for everyone.
Now configure ===Guacamole VNC Connections to Windows Computers =======UltraVNC Settings for Windows====Be sure to install UltraVNC to run as a service on the client system. Once UltraVNC is installed on the Windows computer, right-click on the tomcat6 system tray icon and guacd services to run automaticallychoose "Admin Properties" from the menu that comes up. Set the following values:
{{Code| Display Number or Ports to use: Select Ports and set Main and Http so something specific (e.g. 5904, 5804)Code = # chkconfig tomcat6 on# # chkconfig guacd on}} Authentication: Set both the VNC Password and the View-Only Password. (Write them down. You will need it later.)
== Configuring Guacamole Click "OK" and Amahi ==Create Symbolic links between guacamole in Tomcat and Amahi's webapp directorythen give permission for the program to make changes to your system.

Create .htaccess file Below are some VERY basic settings for a VNC connection in /var/hda/web-apps/guacamole/html{{Code|Code = # cd /var/hda/web-apps/guacamole/html# gedit .htaccess}}Guacamole:
This is Name: whatever you want to call it (One can put "VNC" within the text for name so as to differentiate between connections types in the .htaccess file:list) RewriteEngine OnLocation: ROOT RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}Protocol:8080/guacamole [R,L]VNC
Make sure the owner Maximum number of the file is apache and the group is users.connections: 2{{Code|Code = # chown apache .htaccess# chgrp users .htaccess}} Maximum number of connections per user:2
In /etc/httpd/conf Host Name: The fixed IP address of the computer to which you wished to connect.d/####-guacamole(For example ''192.168.1.10'') Port: The Main port number which was set in the Windows UltraVNC client software (e.g. 5904). Password: The VNC Password set earlier in the Windows UltraVNC client software.conf, change "AllowOverride AuthConfig" to "AllowOverride FileInfo Limit Options Indexes"
== Logging In to Guacamole ==You can access All the web login screen for Guacamole from the server at http://127.0.0other settings are left either blank or as they were.1:8080/guacamole
The default user is "guacadmin"Special Note: Once settings are in place, with users can click on their User Name in the default password of upper right corner and choose "guacadminHome". You can change your password by editing your own user in from the drop-down menu to return to the administration home screenand use pre-configured connections.
With everything configured correctly you should be able to access the web login screen through Amahi at http== References ==''1'' https://guacamoleen.yourhdanamewikipedia.com:8080org/guacamolewiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol
== Port Forwarding ==If you want Guacamole's web interface to be accessible outside of your LAN you will have to forward a random'2'' Richardson, T.; Stafford-Fraser, Q.; Wood, K. R.; Hopper, unused port A. (1111, for example1998) to port 8080 in your router. Then when you access Guacamole from outside your LAN you will need to add "/guacamoleVirtual network computing" to the end of your url(PDF). (serverblahblahIEEE Internet Computing.yourhda2: 33.comdoi:111110.1109/guacamole) 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 access4236.656066.
