[X2Go-User] Stopping a session from suspending on disconnect

2014-09-16 Thread Martyn Welch

Hi All,

I've been using x2go on a number of machines that we have remote users 
connect to for a while now. Before using x2go we were using neatx, but 
the development on that seems to have stalled and isn't available 
packaged for newer Linux distributions.


X2go is generally working well as a replacement (thanks guys!), however 
one complaint that I'm getting from users is that x2go suspends sessions 
on disconnect. Some users have graphical tools that they are kicking off 
to run long tasks and want to disconnect, leaving the task to complete 
(for example, over night) without needing the session to be maintained. 
This was the default behaviour in neatx and hence the behaviour that the 
users have come to expect (sessions wouldn't suspend on disconnect). Is 
there any mechanism built into x2go to achieve this?

suspend on disconnect??  I don't see this behavior.  My client and server are 
both fedora-20

Are you sure your users actually tried that out and aren't just
mislead by the expression suspend?  In fact, it is more like detach.
You detach the X2Go session, and the virtual screen on the server
remains running, so you can re-attach at any time.

I think there was a piece of code that would let you renice sessions
that were in a detached state, so they take up less CPU, but I'm not
sure if that made it to a stable release yet.  Mike#1 might know more.

A full suspend, comparable to a laptop suspend/hibernate, is not
something X2Go does.

[X2Go-User] Client and broker authentication

2014-09-16 Thread Michael Gale
Hello,

When using the broker with Apache and WSGI, it is possible to have the
client perform NTLM authentication against Apache?

That way we can offer single sign-on for our users, we want to authenticate
against an AD server and some clients are Windows desktop machines.

Thanks
Michael
