Greetings, While I haven't been able to compile the x2go client for our IGELs, I'm pushing forward with the project using the existing version. As such, I'm trying to create a load balancing cluster, but I'm stuck adding users to the postgresql database, and I need to do a sanity check.
Assumption 1: I have to manually create each user in the database for that user to have group membership and/or be able to log in and create a session on the load balanced server.
Assumption 2: The x2godbadmin script must be run as root to gain access to the root-only file containing the postgres database managment user's password.
If either of those assumptions are incorrect, please advise.
My problem is that all of our home directories are on root-squashed NFS volumes. As the script is running under root's context, the script is unable to create ~/.x2go/sqlpass, which would seemingly prevent the user from being able to utilize any member of the load balancing cluster.
Obviously, if I can simply pass through PAM credentials and LDAP lookups without the need for this information to live in a postgresql database, none of this is a problem.
Likewise, if I can run the x2godbadmin script as each individual user, while extremely painful, I can write a script to do this.
Am I way off in the woods on my logic here?
Thanks!
