Re: multiple users and xspice

Like I said in my first email, I already got Xspice to play along with xdmcp.
And when connecting to the server using virt-viewer I get a nice desktop.

Now what I do not have is more than 1 concurrent user.
Also preventing the second user from hijacking the session from the first user is an issue.
Explaining that user one has session :1 and user two has session :2 is an administration nightmare.

It all has to work automagically.

Currently I only have vnc that does all this.
I implemented this solution : http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/remote-login-with-gdm-and-vnc-on-centos-7-rhel-7-configure-vnc-on-xinetd-with-xdmcp-centos-7-rhel-7.html
But vnc is something that belongs in the previous millennium.

So I wonder if there is a way to do this using Xspice ?

Hello all,

I'm wondering if it is possible to get Xspice to work for multiple concurrent users.

Currently I got it to work with xdmcp to start up a spice-desktop session.
However when the second user logs in the session will be taken over by that user.

Is it possible to get this to work with Xspice ? (or similar solution)
Bonus points if it works with sssd.

Hey Rob,

The idea with XSpice is to run one Xorg process per user session.  And that does work; I use it extensively.  There is not (yet) a seamless way to do this on Fedora.  I was just playing with this on Fedora 21, and it's still very fiddly, particularly with gdm. I found that if I modified /etc/gdm/custom.conf to enable xdmcp and set the ping interval to 0, then a
  XSpice -query localhost  <other parameters as needed>

seemed to work, although I had to set aside my play while it was still fairly fiddly.  I was hoping to get more time to play to write a little bit of apache fu to spin up a user session on demand, but I haven't gotten to it yet :-/.

Cheers,

Jeremy
