Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-289:
------------------------------------------
In the current WIP, I've added a {{getResource()}} function to {{UserContext}}
(inherently requires authentication) and {{AuthenticationProvider}} (does not
require authentication). If the extension does not return null for either of
these, then corresponding REST resources are exposed.
|| Class || Authenticated? || URL ||
| {{UserContext}} | Yes (implicitly) | {{.../api/session/data/IDENTIFIER/ext/}}
|
| {{AuthenticationProvider}} | No | {{.../api/ext/IDENTIFIER/}} |
where {{IDENTIFIER}} is the identifier of the {{AuthenticationProvider}}.
Essentially, a new REST service has been added at {{.../api/ext/}} which
provides access to the unauthenticated REST resource exposed by each
{{AuthenticationProvider}}, and the existing REST resource at
{{.../api/session/data/IDENTIFIER/}} has been modified to additionally expose
the REST resource from the {{UserContext}} at {{ext}}.
There is probably room for improvement here in the naming.

> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: guacamole, guacamole-ext
> Reporter: Michael Jumper
> Assignee: Michael Jumper
>
> Though Guacamole extensions can modify JavaScript, HTML, expose static
> resources, etc., they are not able to expose custom REST services. This
> limits the ability of extensions to provide functionality which depends on
> services unrelated to maintenance of users or connections, as well as
> functionality which may not currently be covered by the extension API.
> Extensions should be able to:
> # Expose REST resources/services which do not require authentication
> # Expose REST resources/services which *do* require authentication (require
> an associated auth token)
