Cannot open more than one session in the same browser

[gormux]

Hello,

I use this auth plugin to make a custom portal.
I can open a session to a computer, no problem.
But if I open a second session, the first one disconnects.

I use the "normal" guacamole client :
http://my_guacamole:8081/guacamole?token=%s&&GUAC_DATA_SOURCE=jwt&GUAC_ID=%s&GUAC_TYPE=c&GUAC_USERNAME=%s
where token is obtained via /guacamole/api/token
GUAC_ID is randomly generated, and GUAC_USERNAME obtained from the token answer of the API.

Using a very basic client (this one : #1), I don't have the issue.

So I suppose the "normal" guacamole client does not like something in the way I use it, but I cannot find what. Maybe it does not support using different usernames in the same browser ?

I can open multiple connections using multiple browsers, so I'm pretty sure the guacamole client is the cause.

Is this a known issue ? Are there other people using this auth plugin and the normal guacamole client ?

We have JWT integration at my company using this plugin. I've noticed that the normal guacamole client will not support multiple "authorized" sessions in the same browser session.

I think it's related to how Guacamole caches credential tokens, and that when a new session is open it somehow overrides the old credential. It's related to session state as far as I can tell.

Hopefully you find a solution!

So, you use another client ? If so, is it available to the public, or is it internal ?

Hi! can we pass the authToken in Headers instead of URL?

[aiden0z]

@iota-008 yes, the new v1.5.4 version has supported pass token in headers, please refer the readme for details.

@gormux I am not using this extension but I ended up here with the same problem, so, I'll say what I discovered if that helps anyone in the future.
Guacamole itself handles multiple sessions in the same browser because it uses the same API token in each of them. Whenever a session is opened, the access credentials are stored in LocalStorage and overrides previous ones on the process, that's probably why multilpe sessions are not working for you either for me, you must use a single token access in the same browser to fix the issue.
Sorry if my english is bad, hope it helps someone in the future.
