The command guacd is used to start the Guacamole proxy daemon. The Guacamole proxy is a component of Apache Guacamole, an open-source remote desktop gateway. It serves as a middleman between remote desktop clients (like web browsers) and the remote desktop servers, facilitating the connection between them.
The command includes the following options:
-C ${my-cert-crt}: This option specifies the path to the certificate file (my-cert.crt). The certificate file is a public key signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA) and is used to establish secure communication over SSL/TLS.-K ${my-key-pem}: This option specifies the path to the private key file (my-key.pem). The private key is a secret key that corresponds to the public key in the certificate. It is used to decrypt and sign data, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of the communication.
By providing these certificate and key files to the guacd command, you are instructing it to enable SSL/TLS encryption for the connections it establishes with remote desktop servers and clients. This ensures that the communication between them is secure and protected from eavesdropping or tampering.
