If you're using SSO (SAML, OpenID, and/or CAS without ClearPass), then the ${GUAC_PASSWORD} token will not be available to you, since the IdP does not share the password with the Service Provider (Guacamole). If you're using LDAP or a database authentication mechanism, then the password should be available as a token and can be passed through - you'll just need to make sure the token is specified correctly, and that the password matches. -Nick
