Guacamole is an HTML5 web application that provides access to a desktop environment using remote desktop protocols. A centralized server acts as a tunnel and proxy, allowing access to multiple desktops through a web browser. No plugins are needed: the client requires nothing more than a web browser supporting HTML5 and AJAX.
The Guacamole proxy daemon, guacd, translates between remote desktop protocols (like VNC) and the Guacamole protocol using protocol plugins. Once a user is authenticated with the Guacamole web application, a tunnel is established through the web application to guacd, allowing the JavaScript client to communicate to an arbitrary remote desktop server through guacd.
This package contains the core protocol library.
