# Guacamole

## Presentation

Apache Guacamole is a web-based remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH.

As of version 0.9.14, Guacamole can use OpenID Connect , CAS or HTTP Headers as authentication sources through plug-ins.

This document explains how to implement OpenID Connect

## Pre-requisites

### Guacamole

Refer to the official Guacamole documentation to install Guacamole, either manually or through Docker images

You need to be able to enable extensions. If you are using docker, you need to follow these instructions in order to provide your own extensions directory and Guacamole configuration file

Your Guacamole configuration directory will look something like this.

    ├── extensions
    │   └── 00-guacamole-auth-openid-1.0.0.jar
    └── guacamole.properties

Danger

Make sure to rename the JAR in a way that ensures that it will be loaded first

And `guacamole.properties` should contain at least

    openid-authorization-endpoint: http://auth.example.com/oauth2/authorize
    openid-jwks-endpoint: http://auth.example.com/oauth2/jwks
    openid-issuer: http://auth.example.com
    openid-client-id: guacamole
    openid-redirect-uri: http://guacamole.example.com/guacamole/
    openid-username-claim-type: sub

Tip

Remplace the `redirect uri` with your Guacamole server’s URL

### LL:NG

Make sure you have already enabled OpenID Connect on your LemonLDAP::NG server

You also need to allow the `Implicit Flow` under `OpenID Connect Service` » `Security`

Then, add a Relying Party with the following configuration

- Options » Authentification » Client ID : same as `openid-client-id` in `guacamole.properties`

- Options » Allowed redirection address : same as `openid-redirect-uri` in `guacamole.properties`

- Options » ID Token Signature Algorithm : `RS512`
