Nick Couchman updated GUACAMOLE-2138:
-------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: 1.6.0)
> Add an optional maximum connection timeout
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-2138
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-2138
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: guacamole
> Environment: Any
> Reporter: Trevor Kuhlengel
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: security
>
> In my company's business use case for Guacamole, for security and auditing
> purposes, we need to be able to ensure that any idle user is disconnected and
> logged off within a set period of time of idleness.
> In an *ideal* version of this, we would do the following.
> # Check if user has interacted with connection in last X minutes, or if an
> active SFTP transfer is happening on the connection.
> # If not, terminate the user connection after X minutes of inactivity.
> # If they remain idle, Guacamole idle timer will log them out after the
> pre-configured login idle timout.
> This requires a lot of conditionals and would be more difficult to implement
> and maintain in an on-going project like Guacamole.
> A {*}more practical{*}, yet sufficient, version is:
> # Admin sets a maximum duration of ANY connection, given in minutes.
> # Any connection that exceeds that duration, regardless of activity, is
> terminated, while the user remains logged in. They are free to reconnect if
> the user is still active.
> # The login idle timeout starts when the connection ends.
> This second option would meet our business need, and we would like to share
> it with others.
