[X2Go-User] x2gi broker, wsgi

[Gil Laycock]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up an x2go broker using x2gobroker-wsgi, and it seems
to be almost working - but fails at the last hurdle.

I have a pool of x2go servers running (that work fine individually); and
listed in a pool in x2gobroker-sessionprofiles.conf (They do require an
ssh proxy, which I specified in the sessionprofiles)

I have a central pgsql db successfully recording sessions for the x2go
servers.

On the broker server, from the command line:
 * using x2gobroker-testauth succeeds
 * the load balancer seems to be working fine
 * command line running x2gobroker --task listsessions shows the session
configured in x2gobroker-sessionprofiles.conf

I have the x2gobroker-wsgi set up as a virtualhost.
With debugging turned on, and most authentication disabled (so I'm
expecting to have to log in first to the broker multiple times), I can
visit in a browser to

https://broker.my.domain/plain/   (also to .../plain/inifile )

and it just says "Access granted".

If I use x2goclient, I try

x2goclient --broker-url=https://broker.my.domain/plain --debug

In x2goclient I then get a login screen, followed by a pop-up error
message: "Host requires authentication"; the debug messages say:
Broker HTTP request failed with error: "Host requires authentication"

The apache log file just shows successful connections.

I was expecting to get a choice among the pool of servers...

I feel like I am missing something small but critical.
