    @fbartels Ah of course, 🤦 . I think yours might be a better option.

    @mpeterson0418 You can configure Cloudron to integrate with your existing LDAP server and that way all the app will automatically integrate. For this, configure external LDAP directory in Cloudron -> Users and then you have to choose "Cloudron user management" when installing the app.

      Hi @girish @fbartels

      So it will in fact pass through the authentication to all the other installed apps on my profile if I setup the External Directory? That's good to know. How exactly will Apache guacamole pick that up though? My concern is that both use different URLs for access, and I think anyone browsing the web could easily just connect to Guacamole without needing to access the cloudron app could they not?

        @mpeterson0418 even if its using different urls Guacamole is configured under the hood to use Cloudron for authentication (no one first needs to head to their Cloudron dashboard, but can directly log into Guac).

        And once you have enabled the external ldap integration for your Cloudron all members on your ldap can log into Cloudron and therefore apps that use the Cloudron user management.

          @fbartels I am definitely going to try that

          Maybe you can help me with something within the guacamole config...... for sake or argument I tried building a user account and added my domain NetBIOS name to the front of it <AD><username>.

          Now when I try to edit the account in the guacamole interface, I get the following error:

          ERROR - An error has occurred and this action cannot be completed. If the problem persists, please notify your system administrator or check your system logs.

          It seems like the account is being stored within the mysql database. Any thoughts on how to manually clean it up?

            @mpeterson0418 Oh, I am not using Guac personally, so I cannot really help here.

              Hi @girish & @fbartels

              I got the external authentication working. Thanks a bunch!

              Any thoughts on the lingering user account that I can't remove from Apache Guacamole? Is it stored somewhere within mysql and perhaps something I can edit manually to remove? The user interface keeps giving me the error I referenced earlier:

              ERROR - An error has occurred and this action cannot be completed. If the problem persists, please notify your system administrator or check your system logs.

                @mpeterson0418 Did you succeed via Cloudron external directory or directly from guacamole to your LDAP ?

                As for the lingering user, maybe trying delete from MySQL. If you open web terminal, there is a button on the top for MySQL access. Click that button and press enter. Might want to take an app backup before tinkering with db directly...

                  @girish

                  Yes I got the external directory setup and it is pulling in my AD user accounts so we are good there

                  As for MySQL..... is there a specific location/table on where I can access the database user accounts? Or is everything entered via UserMappings.xml?

                    @mpeterson0418 unfortunately, that part I have no idea since that is very app specific. Maybe you just simply start afresh / re-install. That's probably easier than fixing up db tables by hand since we have no idea about the effect.
