+In some setups it can make sense to give access to the X2Go Session Broker without authentication. This is one way of reducing the dual authentication steps to one (and thus increase usability of X2Go Client in broker mode).
+__Example:__ One possible example can be a session broker on your internal LAN where the broker only serves as a load balancer for two or more X2Go Servers (multi-node setup). For such a setup, it requires that all client machines on your LAN are trusted.
 When implementing your own session broker, you can configure the broker not to check the username (and password) at all. This is only possible with HTTP based brokers.
-With SSH based X2Go Session Broker implementations, you can also ignore the username, but it is not possible to access the broker without some sort of login method.
