 +==== Broker Backends ====

 +The backends deal with the storage of, the rendering of and possibly the user/group/client based filtering of session profiles which then get provided via X2Go Session Broker to the querying X2Go client application.

 +The WebUI frontends deal with delivering the list of session profiles (available for this user/group/client address) to the X2Go client application (X2Go Client: text/plain WebUI, Unity Greeter: UCCS WebUI).
