Session Properties Setting

A session file has basic connection information, such as a host name and the port number. Additionally, users can configure XDMCP settings, a connection address, a server profile, and a display number.

To Change a Session File's Connection Information:

1. Run Xmanager.
2. Right-click on a session file.
3. Select [Properties]. The Session Properties dialog box is displayed.
4. Modify connection information in the [Connection] section of the [General] tab.

• Note
  For details about XDMCP session and Xstart session properties, see 'XDMCP Session Properties' and 'Xstart Session Properties' respectively. 

To Allocate a Display Number:

1. Start Xmanager.
2. Right-click on a session file.
3. Select [Properties]. The Session Properties dialog box is displayed.
4. Click [X Server] tab.
5. Turn off [Allocate display number automatically].
6. Enter a display number in [Display Number].
7. Click [OK].

• Note
  In case the display number is automatically allocated, each session holds an intrinsic display number starting from the default display number set in the profile. When several Xmanager sessions are executed, each session gets a unique display number and it is displayed on the title bar of Xmanager (e.g. [:0.0]). The first number is the display number and the second number is the screen number. In Xmanager, the screen number is always 0.
  Display numbers must be a value between -4976 and 32767. Xmanager obtains TCP port numbers by adding 6000 to a display number. For example, if a user enters the number 10 in [Display Number], Xmanager communicates with X applications using TCP port 6010. Some UNIX servers cannot recognize a three-digit number. Therefore, it is recommended to use a number smaller than 100. Some systems do not support X window's default starting port of 6000. In this case, users can utilize negative values (-) such as port 5999(-1), 5998(-2), etc.

To Designate a Specific Profile to a Session:

1. Run Xmanager.
2. Right-click on a session file.
3. Select [Properties]. The Session Properties dialog box is displayed.
4. Click [X Server] tab.
5. Select a profile from [Server Profile] list.
6. Click [OK].
