 If you have access to an X2Go Session Broker, you can launch X2Go Client in broker mode. There are several command line options to configure X2Go Client's broker mode
-  * ''<nowiki>--broker-name=<name></nowiki>'': Name of broker to display in X2Go client. This parameter is optional.
+  * ''<nowiki>--broker-name=<name></nowiki>'': Sets the broker name to display in X2Go Client. This parameter is optional.
+  * ''<nowiki>--broker-url=<protocol>://[username@]<host>[:port]/path</nowiki>'': Sets the URL of the session broker. "protocol" must be one of "http", "https" or "ssh". If "username@" is provided, it will be pasted into the authorization dialog of X2Go Client. URL examples are:
-  * ''<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>''
     * ''<nowiki>--broker-url=ssh://user@x2gobroker.org:22/usr/lib/x2go/x2gobroker.pl</nowiki>''
+  * ''<nowiki>--broker-ssh-key=<path to key></nowiki>'': Sets the path to an SSH key to use for authentication against an SSH session broker. The client's behavior is undefined if this flag is used for non-SSH session brokers.
-  * ''<nowiki>--broker-ssh-key=<path to key></nowiki>'': Path to SSH key to use for authentication against SSH broker. This parameter is only valid with SSH brokers.
+  * ''<nowiki>--broker-autologin</nowiki>'': Enables the use of the default SSH key or SSH agent for authentication against an SSH session broker. The client's behavior is undefined if this flag is used for non-SSH session brokers.
+  * ''<nowiki>--broker-noauth</nowiki>'': Does not ask for user credentials during session broker authentication. This can be useful if you are using an HTTP(S) session broker without authentication. If you run an HTTP(S) server without authentication, but with user-specific profiles, then put the user name into the broker URL (refer to --broker-url.) The user name then will be extracted from the broker URL and be sent to the session broker. The client's behavior is undefined if this flag is used for non-HTTP(S) session brokers.
-  * ''<nowiki>--broker-autologin</nowiki>'': Use default SSH key or SSH agent for authentication against session broker. This parameter is only valid with SSH brokers.
-  * ''<nowiki>--broker-noauth</nowiki>'': Do not ask for user credentials during broker authentication. This can be useful if you are using an HTTP(S) broker without authentication.\\ If you run an HTTP(S) server without authentication, but with user-specific profiles, then put the username into the broker URL (see above). The username then will be taken from the broker URL and be sent to the session broker. This option is only valid with HTTP(S) brokers.
