Description

We use Apache Guacamole as a front-end to vnc desktops run on an HPC cluster; this works well. One enhancement that would simplify on-boarding new users would be to have Guacamole run pre/post connection scripts. In our use case a preconnection script could be used to log into the cluster, as the user themselves, and submit the torque job to start the vnc server before attempting to connect to the vnc server. At this time users must use an ssh connection to run the script before proceeding to the vnc connection. Ideally the scripts/commands could be added to the connection object as connection parameters. Thanks
