There are parts of the REST API that only work when using the JDBC authentication extension, but this is not because of limitations in the REST API, it's because those features are only present in the JDBC authentication extension. For example, connection history is only currently tracked in the JDBC extensions - none of the other authentication extensions record the history of connections anywhere, so trying to retrieve the connection history via the REST API without the JDBC extension would fail. Similar things are true of functionality like user management and permissions - while the LDAP extension implements some of these features, it relies on you managing the LDAP directory outside of the Guacamole Client interface, and the JDBC extension is the only place where users and permissions are managed directly by Guacamole. Things like active sessions and logged in users should be available no matter what authentication extension(s) you are using. -Nick
