How do I run a Common Desktop Environment (CDE) session?

To run a Common Desktop Environment (CDE) session through Secure Global Desktop, you must create an X application object with the following attribute settings:

AttributeValue
Application Command (--app)The full path to the Xsession application, for example /usr/dt/bin/Xsession
Keep launch connection open (--keepopen)Enabled (true)
Session Ends When (--endswhen)Login script exits (loginscript)

Note You must use these settings, to allow Secure Global Desktop to shut down the CDE session correctly.

Running a CDE application directly

To run a CDE application directly rather than from the CDE Front Panel you must create an X application object with the following attribute settings:

AttributeValue
Application Command (--app)The full path to the application you want to run
Window Manager (--winmgr)/usr/dt/bin/dtwm -xrm "Dtwm*useFrontPanel: false" -xrm "Dtwm*ws0*backdrop*image: none"
Session Ends When (--endswhen)No visible windows (nowindows)

Note This is the default value for this attribute

Keep launch connection open (--keepopen)Disabled (false)

Note This is the default value for this attribute
