    Hi Babatunde,

    Regardless of how Guacamole has been installed, the method for adding= connections will depend on which authentication backend has been configure= d (see below). I'm not sure what script you used specifically, but=C2= =A0
    if that script came with any documentation, it might point in= the right direction and/or mention what backend it is intended to set up. = The configuration methods for each backend are documented in the manual [1]= [2][3].

    Before you get too deep into debugging the= results of your scripted install ... beware that we intentionally do not p= rovide or support install scripts as a project, and I must caution against = their use. Writing a truly robust script is extremely difficult. Such scrip= ts may seem inviting at first, but avoiding the "learning" part o= f a learning curve is self-defeating.

    The closest = thing to a scripted install that we officially support are the Docker image= s [4]. These images make much of the installation/configuration process sim= pler, but without hiding the architecture.

    Thanks,=
