Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-29:
----------------------------------------
[~mike.jumper]: Thoughts on whether we keep this one open or not? We could
probably tweak the previous pull request
(https://github.com/glyptodon/guacamole-client/pull/328) so that it would work.
Implementing it as an authentication extension seems like it would require some
additional work to allow headers to be set on the response messages that are
passed back, possibly something additional tacked on to {{GuacamoleException}}?
I'm happy to take a stab at that if we think it would be valuable (maybe
outside this extension)?
Or do we want to just close this out as a "Won't Fix/Do?"

> 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!
