Some reverse proxies support SSO via HTTP Basic authentication if the server requests it with 401 Unauthorized response.

As Guacamole already reads Authorization header, it looks trivial to add guacamole.properties option such as "enable-http-basic-auth", to tell Guacamole to request HTTP Basic Authentication .

PR on its way :)

Thanks!
