3. For the first connection, hit “New connection” on the connections page
   • Fill in info for the connection, including name, connection type, IP/Hostname, username, password, and connection groups
   • For “Guacamole Proxy Parameters”, set hostname to “guacd”, port to “4822”, and encryption to “none”.
   • Click save.
4. For each additional connection of the same type, click on an existing connection to open the edit page, scroll to the bottom and click clone.
   • Change the name and IP/Hostname
   • Hit “Save” at the bottom of the page

Add a Users:

Read-only connection:
