Mike Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-1721:
----------------------------------------
I do get occasional questions on this at day job and end up needing to clarify
that these values are not consumed by the server and have no security
implications, but rather are just cached for the convenience of the UI. It'll
definitely be nice to no longer need to do that.
> Stop storing unnecessary data in local storage

> Key: GUACAMOLE-1721
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1721
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: guacamole-client
> Reporter: James Muehlner
> Priority: Minor
>
> We're currently storing the following data in local storage:
> * Auth token
> * Username
> * Data source that the user came from
> * All available data sources
> Of all of these, only the auth token needs to be stored in local storage; the
> authentication call is made on every page load, so the username and
> datasource information could be just be stored in memory.
