 ===== The Backend Sections =====
-Available backend sections are: ''zeroconf'', ''inifile''.
+Available backend sections are: ''zeroconf'', ''inifile''. All backends have the following options in common:
+  * ''enable = {true|false}''
+  * ''auth-mech = pam'' (can be omitted if default-auth-mech is set to the same authentication mechanism)
+  * ''user-db = libnss'' (can be omitted if default-user-db is set to the same user DB backend)
+  * ''group-db = libnss'' (can be omitted if default-group-db is set to the same group DB backend)
+If you want to use a certain backend with your X2Go Session Broker setup, make sure to enable it in ''x2gobroker.conf''. Otherwise, you will receive 404 http reponse (Not Found) for the backends broker URL.
+Normally, other options are available for each backend, depending on the characteristics of the backend.

+The ''inifile'' backend is a broker backend that can be used to configure several X2Go Server provisionings text file based. For the session profile setup it uses an extra file, by default it is using...

+If your ''x2gobroker-sessionprofiles.conf'' is located elsewhere, use the this ''inifile'' backend's option (in ''x2gobroker.conf'') to select another file path:

+The [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2gobroker.git;a=blob;f=etc/broker/x2gobroker-sessionprofiles.conf|default version]] of the ''x2gobroker-sessionprofiles.conf'' file ships many examples, but is not usable out-of-the box. An [[x2gobroker:inifilebackend|extra wiki page]] has been dedicated to that file.
