 `UPPER`
 : Convert the entire value of the token to upper-case.
 
+`OPTIONAL`
+: Typically when tokens are specified as part of a conneciton parameter,
+  if the token is undefined, the literal value of the token will be placed
+  in the connection parameter. This modifier marks a token as "optional",
+  which means that an undefined token will not be added as a literal and
+  will simply be skipped as if the toekn is not entered.
+
+  In some cases this will simply result in a string lacking the information
+  that would otherwise be in the token; however, in other cases this may
+  result in Guacamole generating prompts. For example, if you specify the
+  oken `${GUAC_PASSWORD}` for the password field in a connection, but you
+  sign in with an SSO extension such that the user does not have a
+  `${GUAC_PASSWORD}` token, Guacamole may prompt you for the password as
+  if it had not been provided at all.
