Applications that would like to take advantage of the Low Bandwidth
|
||
|
|
extension to X (LBX) must make their connections to an lbxproxy.
|
||
|
|
These applications need to know nothing about LBX, they simply connect
|
||
|
|
to the lbxproxy as if were a regular server. The lbxproxy accepts
|
||
|
|
client connections, multiplexes them over a single connection to the X
|
||
|
|
server, and performs various optimizations on the X protocol to make
|
||
|
|
it faster over low bandwidth and/or high latency connections.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With regard to authentication/authorization, lbxproxy simply passes
|
||
|
|
along to the server the credentials presented by the client. Since X
|
||
|
|
clients will connect to lbxproxy, it is important that the user's
|
||
|
|
.Xauthority file contain entries with valid keys associated with the
|
||
|
|
network ID of the proxy. lbxproxy does not get involved with how
|
||
|
|
these entries are added to the .Xauthority file. The user is
|
||
|
|
responsible for setting it up.
