In the SimpleAuthenticationProvider module, there are a couple of places where configs are pulled - one of them is in the getUserContext() method: https://github.com/apache/guacamole-client/blob/62b26fb594aa160478ce44c6d2bb8e6a1cef4174/guacamole-ext/src/main/java/org/apache/guacamole/net/auth/simple/SimpleAuthenticationProvider.java#L157-L172 This calls the getAuthorizedConfigurations() method, so it's possible it explains why it's being initially populated correctly, but not updating. You may need to update the configurations inside the UserContext that is created as part of that getUserContext method. -Nick
