Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-362:
-----------------------------------------

I'll take a look - should be doable and hopefully not too hard.  Unless you've already written some code?! ;-).

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-362
>             Project: Guacamole
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: guacamole-auth-cas
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.13-incubating
>            Reporter: Nicklas Björk
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Because of the nature of logging in with CAS, Guacamole does not know the user password. That means that automatic login using the ${GUAC_USERNAME} and ${GUAC_PASSWORD} tokens can not be used. It actually seems like the tokens are not available at all when using CAS as authentication method.
> For the brave, CAS offers a functionality called ClearPass to deliver the password in an encrypted message to the requesting service (https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.1.x/integration/ClearPass.html). That could be a way to populate ${GUAC_PASSWORD}, as long as username and password is being used to authenticate the user in CAS. If the tokens are being used in a connection profile, but isn't populated, I guess it would make sense to fall back to manual login.
