[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-708) Allow JDBC Users to be Created Automatically

["Mike Jumper (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-708?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17048692#comment-17048692 ] 

Mike Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-708:
---------------------------------------

[~vnick], regarding the background given in the description:

{quote}
A feature common to other applications that store data in one place and can authenticate from other sources is to enable automatic creation of user accounts within the database assuming the user is successfully authenticated elsewhere.
{quote}

IIRC, the ultimate reason behind the need to automatically create database accounts for successfully-authenticated users is primarily to allow extensions like TOTP to store arbitrary data, as they can't successfully do so if the database lacks a user account to serve as that storage. Is that correct?

> I propose doing something similar with the Guacamole JDBC extension, or, depending on how the implementation works out, with the other extensions - a property that, disabled by default, could be enabled that would allow users authenticated successfully through other extensions to be automatically created within the JDBC extension.
