 ===== What is an X2Go Session Broker =====
-Most of you have already used X2Go Client in standalone mode. X2Go Client in standalone mode allows to be configured by the user himself. Normally, the user creates a set of session profiles that allow the user to work remotely on one or more X2Go Servers. See the documentation that explains [[doc:usage:x2goclient|the usage of X2Go Client]].

See the documentation that explains [[doc:usage:x2goclient|the usage of X2Go Client]].
 When X2Go Client is run in broker mode, then it does not allow the local definition of session profiles. The list of session profiles gets provided by the X2Go Session Broker. A session broker is either a HTTP(s) server or an SSH server.
-In large-scale deployments an X2Go Session Broker can be used to centrally provide X2Go session profiles to X2Go Client. It also is the piece of software (X2Go component) that you need to deploy X2Go where load-balancing setup scenarios are requested.

-The implementation of X2Go Session Brokers can be manifold as long as a well-defined communication protocol (X2Go Client <-> X2Go Session Broker) is used.

   * ''<nowiki>--broker-url=<protocol>://[username@]<host>[:port]/path</nowiki>'': URL of session broker. Protocol is either of "http", "https" or "ssh". You can specify a username in URL. In this case it will be pasted into authorization dialog of X2Go Client. URL examples are:
     * ''<nowiki>--broker-url=https://x2gobroker.org/cgi-bin/x2gobroker.cgi</nowiki>''
