This protocol is not very tolerant about errors + * To make the client<->broker communication more robust, this shell be changed to X2Go Client + * However, transparent backward compatibility must be granted at the same time: new X2Go Clients must continue to be able to speak the older broker protocol, new X2Go Session Brokers must be able to understand old X2Go Clients ==== Interface between LightDM's remote login feature and X2Go Session Broker ==== * The remote login feature in LightDM uses UCCS for session brokerage. The UCCS is a very public service. The main caveat is: UCCS offers to store user passwords and these passwords (at time of Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 13.04) get stored in plaintext at Canonical (or at least can be easily unhashed). A site admin surely would love to have such a web portal as UCCS at hand, so that the remote login feature can be used on the local network without Canonical as the brokerage provide in the loop. -- This mail was generated by DokuWiki at http://wiki.x2go.org/
