How to open a XDMCP Connection from Solaris 11 Login Manager
(Doc ID 1419318.1)
Last updated on JUNE 13, 2023
Applies to:
Solaris Operating System - Version 11 11/11 to 11 11/11 [Release 11.0]Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit)
Goal
With the introduction of GDM 2.22 and later, the ability to enable and configure the XDMCP Chooser was lost. Solaris 11 ships with GDM 2.30.x at least. This is a bug within GDM and not specifically Solaris 11.
Details of the upstream GDM/Gnome bug can be found at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592976
To quote a pertinent quote in the bug:
---
The documentations states:
GDM 2.20 and earlier supported the ability to manage multiple displays with separate graphics cards, such as used in terminal server environments, login in a window via a program like Xnest or Xephyr, the gdmsetup program, XML-based greeter themes, and the ability to run the XDMCP chooser from the login screen. These features were not added back during the 2.22 rewrite.
