Session Managementᅠ
Sessions have connection information to connect to a remote host. Users can designate different options and server profiles for each connection by creating a session.
Session types are divided into automatic XDMCP sessions, static XDMCP sessions, and Xstart sessions.
Icon | Session Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Automatic XDMCP | Xmanager sends a broadcast message to local LAN and dynamically finds the hosts. To find another subnet host, enter host IP address in the Options dialog box. | |
Static XDMCP | Static session is a session created by a user. Static sessions can be created by copying (saving) an automatic session or using the New Session Wizard. If a remote host does not respond to an XDMCP request message, the displayed icon will be dim. | |
Xstart | Xmanager can create and manage Xstart sessions. Additionally, users can also manage these sessions from directly within Xstart. Xmanager and Xstart share all Xstart sessions. |
- Note
Xstart session is useful when running remote X applications one by one. This session connects to a remote host, automatically executes a designated command, and opens an X application in the user's Windows PC.
XDMCP session is useful for bringing the GUI login screen and the entire remote host desktop environment to the user's Windows PC. Xmanager supports all UNIX/Linux GUI desktop environments including CDE, KDE and GNOME.
