Connection Proxies

The Connection Proxy component is the gateway between users and resources they want to access that utilize RDP, SSH or traditional VNC. Container based desktops and apps do not utilize the Connection Proxy component.

There are multiple Connection Proxy component types: Guac and RDP Gateway. The Guac Connection Proxy is responsible for providing users web-native access to RDP/SSH/VNC resources. The RDP Gateway Connection Proxy is responsible for providing users RDP access to backend resources, using a native RDP client.
