Hi Stefan,

ah, sorry, missed your initial post around #1012.

No. But I recommend starting with x2gobroker-daemon, because it allows  
much easier debugging.

What were your steps? (ah... ok... posted below...)

> 3) What would be the suggested path to debug this?

Use http brokerage for debugging. Run

  x2gobroker-daemon-debug

as root on the cmdline and post suspicious messages here.


Where do you actually have the X2Go Broker installed? On both X2Go  
Servers? This is a non-recommended setup.

The recommended setup is:

  on broker machine, several X2Go Servers

or

  two broker machines (with DNS round robin), several X2Go Servers

You could play with the x2gobroker-testagent script and investigate  
the calls to the X2Go Server side x2gobroker-agent.

You could also check if you can use the broker-autologin feature on a  
per session basis. x2gobroker-daemon-debug will be your friend...

It depends on what brokerage you want to use: x2gobroker-ssh -> SSH  
brokerage, x2gobroker-daemon or x2gobroker-wsgi -> http brokerage.

Yes. It is required for the pam authmech inside the broker daemon. If  
you authenticate directly against LDAP or HTTPS, then  
x2gobroker-authservice is not needed.

Do you have x2gobroker-loadchecker install on the broker server?  
Shouldn't cause your failure, but still...

Please consider contracting me, on such a project. The X2Go Broker's  
code says it all. If reading the code is problematic, consider  
contracting me for supervision.
