Hello, all. I was delighted to see the pending release of proxy capability. Is this at all related to the project undertaken quite a while ago to create a "broker", i.e., to have a single publicly exposed site to which users would connect and then be directed to their appropriate X2Go Server?
We currently struggle with assigning unique X2Go servers (and we use one per user via VServer) unique ports to avoid consuming countless public IP addresses. It would be so much easier of all could connect to a single device and have that device broker the connection to their internal X2Go Server. Thanks - John

Same here...

Yes, the scenario you describe will be possible. The process of
providing this code for the public can be accelerated by contracting
Alex and/or me to work on that code with priority.
Currently, a lot of X2Go development still happens ,,after work''.
Greets, Mike

Nope. Totally different thing.

What Alex and I currently discuss: receiving session profiles via a
broker and authenticating based on these session profiles to a server.
If the broker provides SSH proxy based authentication information then
the above will be possible,

Ah I see. I should have taken a closer look at the patch.
