Sharing X Sessions

This procedure gives you the option of applying your Share list modifications to the current session only, or saving your changes to the Share list in an Xconfig file so that the permissions you grant are applicable for all future X sessions you launch with that Xconfig file.

Note: 
 
 
  • If you are running one or more OpenGL applications when you share your session, you must relaunch these applications after the share is established.
  • When you start an X session, if you select an Xconfig file configured to use Multiple Window Mode, you cannot share the session. For more information, see About Window Modes.

To share a session:

  1. Start an Exceed onDemand session by connecting to a host.
    Note: 
      If sharing is enabled to you, a check mark appears on the Exceed onDemand Desktop menu next to Share.
  2. On the Exceed onDemand Desktop menu, click Session, point to Share, and then click Edit Share List. The Share List Editor dialog box opens.
  3. Click Add. The Exceed onDemand Users dialog box opens. It lists all the users who have previously logged into the Exceed onDemand server or server cluster.
  4. Select the users you want to add to the Share list. A check mark appears next to the user name.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Select the newly added user in the Share List editor, and then select one of the following permission types in the Permission Area:

Alternatively, right-click the added user. On the pop-up menu, click Permission, and select the permission type.
  1. Click OK. The Share list is applied to the current session. If a user attempts to join an X session you have launched, Exceed onDemand prompts you to allow or deny access.

After you have added all the required users to the list, you can remove or rename them, and you can modify their permissions. For more information, see Editing the Share List.
