Dear all,

we're running SRSS 4.1 Beta on Solaris with success - except one detail.

I want to change the default xlock command to gnome-screensaver (as I've done it before w/ SRSS 3.1), using the SUN_SUNRAY_UTXLOCK_PREF environment variable.

That variable does NOT change the 'default xlock command' in general. It does not affect the screen saver that is started with the session and that is triggered by an idle timeout.

It only affects the screen lock that used to be triggered when a Sun Ray session is disconnected, to make sure that the session isn't exposed unprotected when it is connected again.

This screen lock behavior, which has various security flaws, has been replaced by the more secure 'Sun Ray Session Lock', which is displayed separate from the real session. After authentication to the Sun Ray Session Lock, any screen lock running in the real session is then unlocked, which is the opposite from what used to happen with utxlock.

You can switch back to the less secure old behavior, including invocations of utxlock on disconnect, by using the '-D' option to utpolicy or the 'direct connection to session on hotdesk' option on the Web GUI 'Policy' page.

Note that if you just want to run some action on disconnect or reconnect, you can directly use utaction(1) with a command of your choice.

This is documented in "man utxlock", but it seems that /opt/SUNWut/bin/utxlock is never called anymore and therefore this setting has no effect. Anyone else who can confirm that?

(I'm CC'ing this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] because I guess this is a bug.)


There is a bug in the utxlock man page, in that it states that utxlock is invoked at every disconnect. That is not true as of SRSS 4.1 any more, unless the legacy hotdesk behavior has been enabled for the server.
