Guacamole 0.9.3 SSH private key to connect to AWS EC2 Linux Instances

Question

Installed Guacamole 0.9.3 from source and war files on Ubuntu 14.04 and Tomcat 7 with MySQL authentication. RDP and SSH with password work fine. Have been trying to connect to AWS EC2 linux instances using Private Key. But when trying to connect it fails saying login failed. no idea what is going wrong. Need help to configure Guacamole connection to connect to AWS EC2 linux instance with private key

Answer 1

If connecting to the very AWS instance you are running the guacamole-client from try using localhost as the Hostname . If connecting to another AWS instance be sure that your Security Group allows access from the Guacamole instance. Perhaps you can you your internal IP.

One thing that was preventing me from logging in to my AWS instances was that even though I set the correct Private Key I neglected to set an appropriate username in the Guacamole connection properties.
