It works for me with just "x2goclient --broker-noauth --broker-url=<URL>" and check-credentials=false in x2gobroker.conf. I have tried with both users who exist on both the broker and terminal server and users who only exist on the terminal server. I get the available sessions and can just choose one. What I can't get to work though, is --session=<SESSIONNAME>. I have term-external and term-internal setup as available sessions in the broker, and I can choose term-internal and logon just fine. But I can't add --session and prechoose the session.

Although for our setup, I prefer them to be the same, so our users don't have to remember more than one set of credentials.
