I get 'XDMCP fatal error: Manager unwilling Host unwilling'" in the Xmanager log
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
XDMCP connection fails and I get the following error in the Xmanager.log file:
XDMCP fatal error: Manager unwilling Host unwilling
*This article requires remote server configuration. Administrator privilege may be required.
RESOLUTION
This problem may occur when XDMCP connections are blocked by Xaccess from the remote host.
To resolve this problem, allow your PC to use XDMCP by adding your PC's IP address or host name in Xaccess. You can find the Xaccess file in the following locations:
Operating Systems | Xaccess path |
Unix | /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess |
Linux | /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess |
CDE | /usr/dt/config/Xaccess |
To allow a host, add the host name or the IP address. For example, if you want to allow 'example.domain' to use XDMCP, add:
example.domain
To allow XDMCP request from all hosts, add '*'.
Note
The first configuration for a host name is effective. So, to disallow connection from a host, a line that starts with '!' must come before '*'.
