Good day.

You can use REST hooks to backend server allows or does not allow client to connect WCS (screen sharing in you case). The workflow looks like this:

1. You configure the backend server.
Code:
https://<your backend server>/hook/connect
2. Your backend returns 200 OK if clients has rights to connect, or 403 Forbidden if has not.
For example,
PHP:
<?php
   header('HTTP/1.1 200 OK',true,200);
?>
3. Test step 2 from you WCS server:
Code:
[root@p16 /]# curl -k -I https://<your backend server>/hook/connect
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2019 16:48:39 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips PHP/5.4.16
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.16
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
4. Update your WCS to send REST hook queries to your own backend: get access to core CLI via SSH
and modify the app and add data:
Code:
update app -l https://<your backend server>/hook defaultApp
5. Pass as custom parameter user authentification data to createSession function.
Edit JS file and add custom data - userTest and passTest:
Code:
https://<your WCS IP-address or domain name>:8444/client2/examples/demo/streaming/screen-sharing/screen-sharing.js
Code:
function start() {
  ...
    Flashphoner.createSession({urlServer: url,custom:{userTest: "passTest"}}).on(SESSION_STATUS.ESTABLISHED,function(session){...})
    ...
}
6. Add custom parameter user authentification data to backend server.
For example,
PHP:
<?php
$incoming_data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);

if ($incoming_data['custom']['passwd'] == 'passwdTest') {
    header('HTTP/1.1 200 OK',true,200);
} else {
    header('HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden',true,403);
}
?>

7. Client tries to connect to your server:
Code:
https://<your WCS IP-address or domain name>:8444/client2/examples/demo/streaming/screen-sharing/screen-sharing.html
If in the screen-shared.js file user data and authentication data on the internal server match - screen sharing to this user allowed.
