Hello everyone !
I would like to configure remote login to CentOS 7 servers using x2go and allow multiple login with the same user i.e. many users use the same ID and password to log in at the same time.
Does x2go allow it?
I explain below a little bit more our infra :
- We use NIS as user authentication
- We have more than 10 different Linux workstations
- Each colleague can connect on every workstations
- We use generic account for some purpose i.e. many users use the same ID and password
Do you thing that this is possible to configure with x2go? If yes, what are the steps to follow? What desktop environment (MATE, XFCE, GNOME …) will be best adapted?
I don't think X2Go will have any particular issue with this. However I'm pretty sure that at least KDE can throw a fit with multiple sessions of the same user running on the same machine. So I think the choice of desktop will be your limiting factor here.
