Michael Jumper resolved GUACAMOLE-598. -------------------------------------- Resolution: Done > Fail cleanly if authentication backend is down / misconfigured > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GUACAMOLE-598 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-598 > Project: Guacamole > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: guacamole > Reporter: Michael Jumper > Assignee: Michael Jumper > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.0.1 > > Attachments: guac-generic-error.png > > > Depending on the extension in use, it is possible for a backend > authentication system (such as a MySQL database, LDAP directory, etc.) to > become unreachable or to be fatally misconfigured, resulting in an internal > failure during authentication attempts. Because of the way such internal > failures are handled, this can cause the Guacamole login screen to fail to > display entirely, masking any notification that might advise the user of the > failure. > The authentication system should fail cleanly. As long as doing so does not > reveal sensitive information about the system, the fact that an error has > occurred should be relayed to the user such that they can contact their > administrator or check the relevant logs. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
