[X2Go-Dev] Forwarding based on group membership

[John Sigurd Skogtvedt]

Hello, for FreeNX we implemented a hack for forwarding users to certain
servers based on LDAP group membership. To do this we wrote a
nxcheckload script which returns a different value depending on if a
user is member of a group "belonging to" a server. I have attached the
script for reference.

Is it possible to achieve the same with x2go, forwarding based on group
membership?


Regards,

John.
