Hello,
it appears from the documentation that the only method of using load balancing is to use the x2goldaptools. Is this accurate? We use Likewise to authenticate against our Active Directory for our NX server, but were looking at x2go to replace FreeNX in order to use x2go's load balancing. Some other questions:
I am assuming that you haven't tested the x2goldaptools against active directory, but is there any way you could elaborate a bit more on exactly what the x2goldaptools do? Does it use your existing ldap server users and groups to authenticate? If so, does it need to have a group "x2gousers" with corresponding users in order for the users to be authenticated?
Does x2go, once the x2goldaptools are installed, immediately stop looking at any one server's users?
If Active Dir supports ldap querying through ldap:// URLs, do you expect this would work like any other LDAP server?
Are there any other ways to support load balancing without the x2goldaptools?
Thanks, Neil

x2goclient was first meant as a replacement of a display manager inside our own boot environment. This is a setup for local networks as a whole OS needs to be transferred over the net. In this setup, it was a "good idea" to contact the LDAP server directly.

Yes, if you use LDAP, you can use the groups and people of that tree. You can choose a group of your own - just make sure that you've configured it correct in /etc/sudoers
Does x2go, once the x2goldaptools are installed, immediately stop looking at any one server's users?
No - if you have local configured users (/etc/passwd) they can still access the server - but taht would be a bad idea...

Other LDAP servers are reportet to work - you don't need any special schematas on the directory server. But I don't know if ADs are working with x2go.
Are there any other ways to support load balancing without the x2goldaptools?
A lot of - maybe some list users can bring up some examples?

hello,
i am back from africa for 2-3 months. in this time i would like to test x2go with load balance, i try it in africa but we have 3 weeks without connection, so i could not do it.
i don't find any documentation, howto install 2 and more servers with load balance.
last year i was in germany in a workshop with the people of linux4africa.de, it was for me very good, does exist such workshop this year?

where is this documentation?

Hey,
I would also like to know how load balancing works and how much effort it is to set it up. Or is it already up and running after having followed the documentation for the full x2goserver installation?
