Thanks. Nick. Makes total sense. Yes I agree opensource projects need developers who have interest and time. I will check the developer forum to get a feel of the component it goes to and the scope of the effort. I have filed a Jira ticket here: https://jira.glyptodon.com/browse/GUAC-1694

If you think this feature would be useful, the best thing to do is 1) insure that there's a Jira issue for it, 2) vote for the Jira issue, and 3) contribute. https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/GUACAMOLE/issues<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fissues.apache.org%2Fjira%2Fprojects%2FGUACAMOLE%2Fissues&data=04%7C01%7Crangal%40visa.com%7C8a3a06042359446d832e08d99af6b5dc%7C38305e12e15d4ee888b9c4db1c477d76%7C0%7C0%7C637711206667665739%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=7jXvRz0N8majgdYlCcDfOQ%2Fvx5opuyOWSz2gggJErVA%3D&reserved=0> If there is enough interest , please advise the best way to implement it in the near future. While you're welcome to lend your voice to the issue by posting here or submitting and/or voting on the Jira issue, if you want to get it implemented then you need to either wait for one of the developers to have the time, expertise, and inclination to do it, or jump in and contribute yourself. This is an open source, community project, and, while enough people asking for a feature can help raise it to a level that an existing developer would jump in and do it, the reality is that many features get implemented when someone who has a vested interest in the feature is able to contribute to it's getting done. I recognize that not everyone is a developer - I'm not a very good one, and it isn't what I spend most of my time doing - I'm a systems engineer/admin and IT Manager by day. My contributions are pretty limited as compared to some of the other folks who spend their time on the project, but I wrote the RADIUS extension when I needed it enough in my #DayJob that I was willing to invest time in brushing up on my Java skills and working with the other developers to get the code to the point where it could be included in the project. -Nick
