I'm not sure what you mean when you say you have OpenID + Guacamole
working, but you're trying to implement Guacamole Client "for lighter
integration?" Guacamole Client is one of the two components of
Guacamole - Guacamole Client and Guacamole Server (guacd), unless
you've written a custom client to replace the Guacamole Client
component.

Guacamole's support for OpenID, via the guacamole-auth-openid
extension, allows you to authenticate users to Guacamole via OpenID
Connect, but does not support storing connection data within OpenID.
For that you will need another module - JDBC is the most common and
popular, but you could also use guacamole-auth-json to deliver the
connection data to Guacamole via encrypted JSON.
