Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-29:
-----------------------------------------
I'm not sure. To me, it seems a bit too much of a corner case to dedicate a
top-level configuration parameter like the description suggests. I wouldn't be
against supporting this via an extension, though. Now that the HTTP status code
is determined completely by {{GuacamoleException}} (due to your changes via
GUACAMOLE-499), this can actually work. The extension can use its own subclass
of {{GuacamoleUnauthorizedException}} to specify an HTTP status code of 401.
> Add support for requesting HTTP Basic Authentication

> Some reverse proxies support SSO via HTTP Basic authentication if the server
> requests it with 401 Unauthorized response.
> As Guacamole already reads Authorization header, it looks trivial to add
> guacamole.properties option such as "enable-http-basic-auth", to tell
> Guacamole to request HTTP Basic Authentication .
> PR on its way :)
> Thanks!
