NAME
x2gobroker-authservice - PAM authentication service for X2Go Session Broker
SYNOPSIS
x2gobroker-authservice [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
x2gobroker-authservice is a PAM authentication service for X2Go Session Broker. Whereas the X2Go Session Broker runs as a non-privileged user (standalone daemon mode) or as the also non-privileged httpd server's system user (WSGI mode), an authentication against PAM requires root privileges in most cases (esp. for pam_unix.so).
Thus, the PAM authentication has been moved into a separate service. The communication between X2Go Session Broker and PAM Authentication Service is handled through a unix domain socket file (<RUNDIR>/x2gobroker/x2gobroker-authservice.socket).
This command is normally started through the host's init system.
