Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-29:
----------------------------------------
So, I took a look at the previous PR and the Guacamole source code has changed
enough between the PR and the Apache Incubator version that I decided just to
rewrite it as an extension module. I have the initial stab out on Github if
anyone wants to take a look and comment/criticize/contribute:
https://github.com/necouchman/guacamole-auth-http/tree/GUACAMOLE-29
A couple of notes:
- I have yet to test this out in a Tomcat environment without a proxy in front
of it. I'll try to get it tested out here, but I'm making the assumption that
it works.
- If you're using a proxy you have to configure it to pass through REMOTE_USER
(or your user-defined header). In Apache you can do this using the
RequestHeader set configuration option.
- If you'd rather use a different header than REMOTE_USER, you can configure it
via the guacamole.properties file and set the http-auth-header option.

> 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!
