Hello Mike, is there any documentation or example on how to add a custom field type? I assume this would require to clone or contribute to guacamole-client?

With code like… static final String backupserver = "backup-server-to-connect-to"; private static Field BACKUPSERVER = null; private static CredentialsInfo SERVER_USERNAME_PASSWORD = null; … if (BACKUPSERVER == null) BACKUPSERVER = new EnumField(backupserver, getBackupServerCollection()); if (SERVER_USERNAME_PASSWORD == null) SERVER_USERNAME_PASSWORD = new CredentialsInfo(Arrays.asList( BACKUPSERVER, CredentialsInfo.USERNAME, CredentialsInfo.PASSWORD )); throw new GuacamoleInsufficientCredentialsException ("server, user & password required", SERVER_USERNAME_PASSWORD); … I get a drop down with the content LOGIN.FIELD_OPTION_BACKUP_SERVER_TO_CONNECT_TO_BACKUP2_LINDENBERG_ONE in the UI. Looks like the client application takes my field name and values, concatenates them, and probably also tries to translate them, whereas I want to use the Values in EnumField as provided. How can I achieve that? You cannot do this with EnumField. All of the standard field types included with Guacamole that allow you to specify possible values will expect translation strings for each of those possible values. You would have to define your own custom field type if you cannot provide translation strings for the possible values ahead of time. Is there some other UI element more appropriate? Also while the exception provides an easy way to define fields, the Credentials type does not reflect that. I figured out I have to use something like credentials.getRequest().getParameter(backupserver)) correct? Yes, convenience functions are provided only for username and password. You need to use the generic getParameter() for anything more specialized. - Mike
