Hello, yes it can,
i made a 'proof of concept' by using just a debian Jessie with Xorg
server modified to use Spice (host X server do that),
what we need is a 'broker' a program that wait for connections and
launch and dispatch to running X servers.
An other way to do that, is using X11rdp, wich use RDP protocol, more
easy as Xrdp is the broker, and you can use Xrd lights client,
more easy to find because RDP is the protocol used by Microsoft (proof
of concept runs well)
I think the best solution should be Spice, but need some work
Regards
Serge

Hello,
Situation: Trying to move away from an older Linux box where people log
in via VNC to run GUI applications: Each user has a dedicated TCP-port
for his/her VNC sessions. The problem with this setup is that it pretty
much contrains the system to a fixed set of users.
On the new server, we want to do it differently. The new server runs as a
virtual host in an RHEV environment.
I suppose one way would be to run XDMCP on the server and the let Linux
users access the server via a nested X servers and let Windows users use
Xming. But as far as I know, XDMCP is not very secure(?), and I'm not
sure if people can have GUI sessions running in the background this way.
So: Can SPICE be used to provide a terminal server enviroment: Any number
of users may connect to the and get a GUI session -- and (preferably) a
user can leave a session while it keeps running till (s)he re-connects.
Note: I'm not looking for a VDI solution: The users who log in share the
same operating system instance, so I'm not looking for a remote one-to-
one console.
If SPICE cannot be used for this: Does someone have suggestion(s) for
alternatives?
