I agree with always use https, but disagree with always 2FA, and password 
expiries have to be considered a bad practice nowadays. But all of this is kind 
of off-topic w.r.t. Gucacamole - ultimately all of us have to make their own 
decisions and sometimes trade-offs. 
What I believe we should agree on is, that it should be easier to customize the 
user interface, no matter what the reason is. I know it is possible to write an 
extension doing that, but an example extension with good documentation would be 
definitely welcome. Right now there are many extensions out for authentication, 
but I am not aware of any that comes without java code but extends the user 
interface, and if only adding a link or overriding an image.
Does anyone have source code and is willing to share it?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Joachim

Sorry but I don't agree with you. As a GDPR expert (GDPR is our core business), 
make a secure login page is "security by default", this mean that you MUST 
provide a login page that is secure, this mean have HTTPS login page with 
something like NGINX as reverse proxy (or Apache), have a valid SSL certificate 
(ones from Let's Encrypt will be ok), and implement 2FA (for security reason 
implement ALWAYS 2FA! Something like TOTP, SSO, Radius, ...) plus apply best 
practices (password expiring, complexity, password hystory, inactive users...).

If you check, Guacamole login page have no cookie at all, so you will not need 
to have a cookie policy nor a privacy policy published just because access to 
remote resorces is guarantee ONLY to employers and/or collaborators, there is 
NOT a register page where I can collect personal data.

My 2 cents,
Alessandro.
