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. All automatic sessions use the same settings. However to change session settings, users can right-click on a session, select [Save As], and save the session. Then, right-click on the newly created session and select [Properties]. In this case, the newly created session becomes a static XDMCP session.
	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. Users can create shortcuts, change settings for this session, and send this session to other users via e-mail, etc.
	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. By double-clicking Xstart sessions, users can conveniently run a remote X application in their Windows PC.

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.
