Guacamole allows Neuroscience users to access their Windows and Linux computers remotely via web browser.

- Email Ryan Sleeth rsleeth@gsu.edu and CC your PI or lab manager requesting access
- Log in using Google Chrome with your campus ID at https://guac.ni.gsu.edu and approve the Duo prompt
- Expand the tree near the bottom of the site to navigate to your computer
- If prompted by Chrome regarding clipboard sharing click Allow to enable copy-paste
- Computers in Guacamole only allow 1 to 2 concurrent connections. If another user is connected you won’t be able to connect until they disconnect. Coordinate with your lab members to not step on toes.
- When finished sign out of Windows or close your Guacamole Chrome tab
Disconnection Types
Windows
- SIGN OUT = closes open programs (via Start menu)
- DISCONNECT = DOES NOT close open programs (via Start menu)
- Closing Guacamole Chrome tab = same as disconnect
Linux
- SIGN OUT = closes open programs (via the Gnome System Menu in the top-right)
- Closing Guacamole Chrome tab = DOES NOT close open programs
Tips
- Connecting to the campus VPN is not required. Traffic is secured via HTTPS
- Closing Chrome is similar to DISCONNECTING
- You can also disconnect using Guacamole’s menu (SHIFT + CTRL + ALT)
- Computers only allow 1 to 2 concurrent connections. Coordinate with your lab members to not step on toes. When another user signs out or disconnects it frees up a connection
- Servers are configured to disconnect users after being idle for 1 hour to help with concurrent use
