In order to use XDMCP connection, CDE login should be enabled on your remote server.


Follow the instructions below to enable CDE login :

  1. Login as a root.

  2. Enable CDE login when system boot:

    $ /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e [enter]
  3. Reset the process: dtconfig -reset

If you want to disable the CDE login setting, do the following :

$ /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d [enter]
