Getting Started
Xmanager provides two methods for connecting to remote Unix or Linux hosts: XDMCP and Xstart.
|
|
Managing sessions with Xbrowser
Learn how to manage both Xstart and XDMCP sessions using Xbrowser.
Xbrowser enables you to create, modify and delete Xmanager sessions.
|
|
Creating and Using Xmanager profiles
The Xconfig utility can create multiple Xmanager profiles. This feature is useful when you have to adjust Xmanager options differently for each session.
|
|
Running multiple X desktops with Xbrowser
Learn how to run multiple Unix/Linux desktops on your PC using Xbrowser. Xbrowser is an easy-to-use and very user-friendly interface program for browsing remote Unix/Linux machines and connecting to remote hosts through XDMCP protocol.
|
|
Running X application through SSH protocol
Xmanager supports SSH protocol for secure X11 connection. X11 forwarding in SSH protocol was embedded into the utility program, Xstart, so you can start an X application securely and simply.
|
|
Running KDE, Gnome or CDE through Secure Shell Tunnel
It is not possible to forward XDMCP over SSH because it uses UDP, not TCP. So if you want to open XDMCP session on your PC securely, you should use command line to start KDE or Gnome session on secure terminal.
|
|
XDMCP Connection through SSH Tuneling
Usually a user in private network cannot reach to a remote host via XDMCP. However, SSH connection provides a solution for such a situation.
|
|
Connecting to a remote host using Secure XDMCP
When PC is inside of private network or firewall, to connect to UNIX/Linux machine located outside of your network, you need to set up port forwarding or open port in firewall or NAT server of the network.
With Secure XDMCP, you do not need any of these additional steps in order to establish XDMCP connection to UNIX/Linux machines.
The only requirement is that SSH service should be running on UNIX/Linux machines. Also, on some of Linux, if gdm is in use as XDMCP daemon, connection may be restricted. Then, you need to switch XDMCP daemon to kdm or xdm.
