Hello everyone...
After testing and beta-deploying X2Go services for some test users (developers/qa/it - who really liked it), i was trying to implement the x2go-broker into lightdm.
I followed the steps in http://blog.x2go.org/index.php/2013/04/28/289/.
First of all, "get-build-deps debian/control" seems to be replaced by "mk-build-deps debian/control" ...
After compiling, installing and configuring i see the additional login in lightdm.
Our Active Directory enabled (using likewise-open -> pam) broker delivers https://x2go-broker.our.domain.com/uccs/inifile/api/4 , asks for user/password and prints the json-object containing all configured servers.
When lightdm starts, i can see some traffic between the machine and the broker.
Logging in seems not to work, i've tested "test.account@intern", "test.account@our.domain.com" and even a local test user (on the broker, right?)
There is no communication between the broker and lightdm/unity-greeter when trying to login.
How can i help you further? (debugging,..)
As this is a relly nice and seemless solution for our clients, i think we cann afford some sponsoring there too.
regards
Stefan

Thanks for testing the Unity-Greeter integration of X2Go.
The project is not actively developed without sponsoring. The initial
code was sponsored by Fleten.net (a company from Denmark deploying
X2Go in municipalities).
Together with the Fleten.net technicians I discovered several issues
in the blog text, that I got addressed as comments on my personal blog
[1]. Please check all comments, they may help with your observed issues.
Canonical Ltd. is generally interested in adding this feature to Unity
Greeter upstream but they are also putting some technical demands on
the development that I do not want to fullfill in my spare time (I
don't really use Ubuntu myself, so I neither have a business nor
private use case for the Unity Greeter integration). So, if you are
interested in sponsoring the further development of this feature, I
will be happy to continue working on it.
Thanks+Greets, Mike

Hi Mike!
Thank you...you've discovered the same hiccups as I do
Did some more work on this...
Strange thing: When i run the tests manually, they succeed. But only in a real terminal, no ssh shell...exporting DISPLAY=":0" does not help.
The connection between login screen does work now (temporary without ssl)...there are some ssl-problems within some library (while accessing the same url with firefox/chromium/epiphany/midori works:
Exception: <class 'pycurl.error'> (51, 'gnutls_handshake() warning: The server name sent was not recognized') { "Error": "Contact your administrator" }
The certificate we're using is from StartCom (Class 3) with SSLCertificateChainFile set in vhost-file (otherwise normal browsers won't accept it due to missing complete chain)
curl output: http://pastebin.com/1ymBfvuW
After connecting with test.user@intern, it show the sessions configured in inifile, (unfortunately with second login unlike normal x2goclient with broker) but connection fails....I see successful login on the x2go-server itself, but the xserver crashes and drops back to lightdm login screen. I can't find any useful debug information in x-server-logfiles (i'll collect and paste them here...)
I'll contact Kjetil for more info about cooporation...
Regards!

Hi
It's really nice to see others that want to use this feature as well. Mike have done an excellent job on this, which we really appreciate. My company Fleten.net still have a strong focus on deliver remote Ubuntu desktops with the Unity-Greeter integration of X2Go. Right now we are seeking to get further development founded, and we will certainly join forces with anyone that have the same goals. Feel free to contact me in a private message.
