Description

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.

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.
