>
> 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.
