Will storing the allowed connections in LDAP work with HTTP
header authentication"?

From reading about LDAP, it seems the answer is “no”
"if the bind attempt is successful, the set of available Guacamole
connections is queried from the LDAP directory by executing an LDAP
query as the bound user. Each Guacamole connection is represented within
the directory as a special type of group: guacConfigGroup. Attributes
associated with the group define the protocol and parameters of the
connection, and users are allowed access to the connection only if they
are associated with that group."

From reading http header, it seems the answer is "maybe .... ?"
"This authentication method must be layered on top of some other
authentication extension, such as those available from the main project
website, in order to provide access to actual connections."

The Guacamole documentation is somewhat unclear as to authentication versus 
authorization.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can share!
