====== X2Go Session Broker Config File: /etc/x2go/x2gobroker.conf ======

The default version of the ''/etc/x2go/x2gobroker.conf'' configuration file can be viewed [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2gobroker.git;a=blob;f=etc/x2gobroker.conf|here]].

It basically is used to do all global session broker configuration stuff. The file contains many and long comments, make sure you read everything thoroughly.

The file ''x2gobroker.conf'' falls into a [global] section and several per-backend sections ([zeroconf], [inifile], etc.).

===== The Global Section of x2gobroker.conf =====

The tweakable options of ''x2gobroker.conf'' that you might have to touch are:

  * enable/disable authentication/authorization (''check-credentials'')
  * enable/disable available WebUIs (''enable-plain-output'', ''enable-uccs-output'')

For miscellaneous setups you may be interested in adapting the following options:

  * ''default-session-autologin'': broker sessions are authoritative, clicking on a session profile card will launch the session right away without a second username/password request
  * ''default-authorized-keys'': location of the server-side ''authorized_keys'' file that is used by X2Go Session Broker to mediate session autologin
  * ''default-agent-query-mode'': mode for querying X2Go Session Broker Agent, can be either ''LOCAL'' or ''SSH''

===== The Backend Sections =====

Available backend sections are: ''zeroconf'', ''inifile''.

==== The ZeroConf Backend ====

The ''zeroconf'' backend is a test backend that works out of the box and provides a session profile that will give an X2Go login to ''localhost''.

With a default installation of ''x2gobroker-daemon'' the command to launch X2Go Client in broker mode then is:

<code bash>
$ x2goclient --broker-url=http://localhost:8080/plain/zeroconf/
</code>

In ''/etc/x2go/x2gobroker.conf'' the only option you can tweak is the ''desktop-shell'' option. Its default is set to ''KDE''.

==== The IniFile Backend ====

The ''inifile'' backend is a broker backend that can be text file based
