Installing and configuring Apache Guacamole on the server would remove the need to download a separate RDP client app. However it's kind of a pain to set up. See https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/ldap-auth.html

OK, I got a basic setup to work after a significant amount of debugging. Now time for nginx proxying and LDAP authentication! Lots of fun stuff ahead. No, not really.

I also hate how Java apps use so much memory. Well, we're upgrading to 32GB soon so that's nice.

The LDAP configuration seems especially cancerous. I guess a single Guacamole user would work as long as people don't click "logout" which seems to sign every session out.

Another huge benefit of this is that Guacamole uses the FreeRDP client so perhaps we will have fewer Microsoft RDP client issues?
