Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-29:
----------------------------------------
So, in developing this under the assumption that the changes in 504 will be
good (rebased on top of those changes), I ran into one more issue. This also
requires a specific header to be set (WWW-Authenticate), which isn't currently
possible to do from an extension. I went ahead and implemented it, anyway,
which you'll see in the PR as soon as the changes in 504 go through, but not
sure my way of doing it is really the best way to go about it, or if there's
even a good way to deal with that. Anyway, again, we'll see that once 504 is
done.

> Some reverse proxies support SSO via HTTP Basic authentication if the server
> requests it with 401 Unauthorized response.
> As Guacamole already reads Authorization header, it looks trivial to add
> guacamole.properties option such as "enable-http-basic-auth", to tell
> Guacamole to request HTTP Basic Authentication .
> PR on its way :)
> Thanks!
