[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-542) Provide base implementations of UserContext and AuthenticationProvider

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-542?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16434919#comment-16434919 ] 

Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-542:
------------------------------------------

Somewhat related to GUACAMOLE-220 (user groups), as that issue involves significant API changes, and these base classes smooth over the cascading changes required to extensions.

> Rather than continue to require that extension authors either (1) use {{SimpleAuthenticationProvider}} and not benefit from recent Guacamole features or (2) implement the entirety of the {{UserContext}} and {{AuthenticationProvider}} interfaces and gain those benefits, we should provide abstract base classes which include default implementations of most of the functions involved.
> In addition to simplifying development of the type of extensions that should be preferred, this eases migration going forward for any API changes to the {{UserContext}} and {{AuthenticationProvider}} interfaces, particularly within our own extensions.
