NAME

       guacd - Guacamole proxy daemon

SYNOPSIS

       guacd [-b HOST] [-l PORT] [-p PID FILE] [-C CERTIFICATE FILE] [-K KEY FILE] [-f]

DESCRIPTION

       guacd  is  the Guacamole proxy daemon used by the Guacamole web application and framework.
       As JavaScript cannot handle binary protocols (like VNC and remote desktop) efficiently,  a
       new  text-based  protocol  was  developed  which  would  contain  a common superset of the
       operations needed for efficient remote desktop access, but would be  easy  for  JavaScript
       programs  to process.  guacd is the proxy which translates between arbitrary protocols and
       the Guacamole protocol.

OPTIONS

       -b HOST
              Changes the host or address that guacd listens on.

       -l PORT
              Changes the port that guacd listens on (the default is port 4822).

       -p FILE
              Causes guacd to write the PID of the daemon process to the specified file. This  is
              useful for init scripts and is used by the provided init script.

       -f     Causes  guacd  to run in the foreground, rather than automatically forking into the
              background.

SSL/TLS OPTIONS

       If libssl was present at the time guacd was compiled, it will contain SSL/TLS support, and
       connections  between  the web application and guacd can be encrypted if a certificate file
       is given.

       -C CERTIFICATE FILE
              Enables SSL/TLS using  the  given  cerficiate  file.  Future  connections  to  this
              instance of guacd will require SSL/TLS enabled in the client (the web application).
              If this option is not given, communication with guacd must be unencrypted.

       -K KEY FILE
              Enables SSL/TLS using the given  private  key  file.  Future  connections  to  this
              instance of guacd will require SSL/TLS enabled in the client (the web application).
              If this option is not given, communication with guacd must be unencrypted.
