NAME
       sesman.ini - Configuration file for xrdp-sesman(8)

DESCRIPTION
       sesman.ini  consists  of	several	sections. Each section starts with the
       section name in square brackets,	followed by a list of  parameter=value
       lines. Following	sections are recognized:

       [Globals]
	      Global configuration

       [Logging]
	      Logging subsystem

       [Sessions]
	      Session management

       [Security]
	      Access control

       [Chansrv]
	      Settings for xrdp-chansrv(8)

       [ChansrvLogging]
	      Logging settings for xrdp-chansrv(8)

       [SessionVariables]
	      Environment variables for	the session

       All  parameters	and  values (except for	file names and paths) are case
       insensitive, and	are described in detail	below.	If  any	 parameter  is
       specified  more	than once, the last entry will be used.	Options	speci-
       fied outside their proper section will be ignored.

GLOBALS
       Following parameters can	be used	in the [Globals] section.

       ListenPort=path-to-socket
	      UNIX domain socket for xrdp-sesman(8) to listen on.

	      The default value	of this	setting	is 'sesman.socket'.

	      An absolute path can be specified	 by  starting  this  parameter
	      with  a  '/'.  In	this instance, the system administrator	is re-
	      sponsible	for ensuring the socket	can only be created by a suit-
	      ably privileged process.

	      If the parameter does not	 start	with  a	 '/',  a  name	within
	      /var/run/xrdp is used.

       EnableUserWindowManager=[true|false]
	      If  set  to  1,  true  or	yes, this option enables user specific
	      startup script. That is, xrdp-sesman  will  execute  the	script
	      specified	by UserWindowManager if	it exists.

       UserWindowManager=filename
	      Path  of	the  startup script relative to	the user's home	direc-
	      tory. If present and enabled  by	EnableUserWindowManager,  that
	      script is	executed instead of DefaultWindowManager.

       DefaultWindowManager=filename
	      Full path	or relative path of the	default	startup	script used by
	      xrdp-sesman to start a session.  If the path is not a full path,
	      it  will be resolved as relative path to /usr/local/etc/xrdp. If
	      not specified, defaults to /usr/local/etc/xrdp/startwm.sh.

       ReconnectScript=filename
	      Full path	or relative path if the	 script	 which	executed  when
	      users  reconnects	 to the	existing session. If the path is not a
	      full path, it will be resolved  as  relative  path  to  /usr/lo-
	      cal/etc/xrdp.   If   not	 specified,   defaults	 to   /usr/lo-
	      cal/etc/xrdp/reconnectwm.sh.

LOGGING
       Following parameters can	be used	in the [Logging] and  [ChansrvLogging]
       sections.

       LogFile=filename
	      Log  file	 path.	It  can	be either absolute or relative.	If not
	      specified, defaults to ./sesman.log. If  set  to	<stdout>,  log
	      will go to stdout. Use for debugging only

	      It  is ignored in	the [ChansrvLogging] section since the channel
	      server creates one log file per display  and  instead  uses  the
	      following	  log	file   naming  convention  xrdp-chansrv.${DIS-
	      PLAY}.log. For details of	the chansrv  log  file	location,  see
	      LogFilePath.

       LogFilePath=string
	      Directory	 for  storing  the chansrv log file. This setting only
	      applies to chansrv. The sesman log file  is  always  created  in
	      /var/log.

	      Created  if  it doesn't exist.  If first character is not	a '/',
	      this is relative to $HOME, where chansrv is normally started.

	      The following substitutions are made in this string:-
		  %U - Username
		  %u - Numeric UID
		  %% - Percent character

	      This is most useful if you are using NFS-mounted	home  directo-
	      ries, and	wish to	move the chansrv log file to the local disk.

	      If this parameter	isn't specified, the log file is stored	in one
	      of the following locations :-
		  -   $CHANSRV_LOG_PATH
		  -   $XDG_DATA_HOME/xrdp
		  -   $HOME/.local/share/xrdp

       LogLevel=level
	      This option can have one of the following	values:

	      CORE  or	0  - Log only core messages. Those messages are	logged
	      regardless of the	selected logging level.

	      ERROR or 1 - Log only error messages.

	      WARNING, WARN or 2 - Logs	warnings and error messages.

	      INFO or 3	- Log errors, warnings and informational messages.

	      DEBUG or 4 - Log everything. If xrdp-sesman is compiled in debug
	      mode, this options will output many more low-level messages.

       EnableSyslog=[true|false]
	      If set to	1, true	or yes,	this option enables logging to syslog.

       SyslogLevel=level
	      Logging level for	 syslog.  It  can  have	 the  same  values  as
	      LogLevel.	 Defaults to DEBUG.

       EnableConsole=[true|false]
	      If  set  to  1,  true or yes, this option	enables	logging	to the
	      console (ie. stdout).

       ConsoleLevel=level
	      Logging level for	the console. It	can have the  same  values  as
	      LogLevel.	 Defaults to DEBUG.

       EnableProcessId=[true|false]
	      If  set  to  1,  true  or	 yes,  this option enables logging the
	      process id in all	log messages. Defaults to false.

SESSIONS
       Following parameters can	be used	in the [Sessions] section.

       X11DisplayOffset=number
	      The first	X display number available for xrdp-sesman. This  pre-
	      vents xrdp-sesman	from interfering with real X11 servers.	If not
	      specified, defaults to 10.

       MaxSessions=number
	      Sets  the	maximum	number of simultaneous sessions. If not	set or
	      set to 0,	unlimited session are allowed.

       MaxDisplayNumber=number
	      Sets the maximum number which can	be assigned to	an  X11	 $DIS-
	      PLAY.  The default is compatible with IANA TCP port allocations.
	      If you are not allowing TCP connections to your  X  servers  you
	      may safely increase this number.

       KillDisconnected=[true|false]
	      If  set  to  1, true or yes, every session will be killed	within
	      DisconnectedTimeLimit seconds after the user disconnects.	  This
	      setting currently	only works with	xorgxrdp sessions.

       DisconnectedTimeLimit=number
	      Sets the time limit for KillDisconnected to a value greater than
	      60.   Values  less  than	60 are to be overridden	with 60.  This
	      setting currently	only works with	xorgxrdp sessions.

       IdleTimeLimit=number
	      Sets the time limit (in seconds) before an idle session is  dis-
	      connected.    Idle   means  no  keyboard	inputs	and  no	 mouse
	      moves/clicks here.  If set to 0, idle  sessions  will  never  be
	      disconnected  by	timeout.   This	 works only with xorgxrdp ses-
	      sions. Moreover, xorgxrdp	must be	v0.2.9 or later.

       Policy=[Default|Separate|{UBDI}]
	      Session allocation policy. Used to decide	when to	allocate a new
	      session. Set to one of the following values:

	      Default -	  Currently the	same as	"UB" for all session types

	      Separate -  All sessions are separate. Sessions can never	be re-
			  joined, and will need	to be cleaned up manually,  or
			  automatically	by setting other sesman	options.

	      Alternatively combine one-or-more	of the following options

	      U	- Sessions are separated per user

	      B	- Sessions are separated by bits-per-pixel

	      D	- Sessions are separated by initial display size

	      I	- Sessions are separated by IP address

	      Note that	the U and B criteria cannot be turned off. DisplaySize
	      refers  to  the initial geometry of a connection,	as actual dis-
	      play sizes can change dynamically.

SECURITY
       Following parameters can	be used	in the [Security] section.

       AllowRootLogin=[true|false]
	      If set to	1, true	or yes,	enables	root  login  on	 the  terminal
	      server.

       MaxLoginRetry=number
	      The  number  of  login  attempts	that  are  allowed on terminal
	      server. If set to	0, unlimited  attempts	are  allowed.  If  not
	      specified, defaults to 3.

       TerminalServerUsers=group
	      Only  the	 users belonging to the	specified group	are allowed to
	      login on terminal	server.	If unset  or  set  to  an  invalid  or
	      non-existent group, login	for all	users is enabled.

       TerminalServerAdmins=group
	      This option is currently ignored!	Only members of	this group can
	      have session management rights.

       RestrictOutboundClipboard=[all|none|text|file|image]
	      If  set  to  all,	 will restrict the clipboard outbound from the
	      server, to prevent data copied inside the	 xrdp  session	to  be
	      pasted  in  the client. Default value is none.  In addition, you
	      can control text/file/image transfer restrictions	 respectively.
	      It also accepts comma separated list such	as text,file,image.

	      none - No	restriction about copying inbound clipboard data.
	      all - Restrict to	copy inbound clipboard data.
	      text - Restrict to copy only inbound text	clipboard data.
	      file - Restrict to copy only inbound file	clipboard data.
	      image - Restrict to copy only inbound image clipboard data.

	      To keep compatibility, the following aliases are also available.
	      true - an	alias of all.
	      false - an alias of none.
	      yes - an alias of	all.

       RestrictInboundClipboard=[none|all|text|file|image]
	      If  set  to  all,	 will  restrict	the clipboard inbound from the
	      client, to prevent data copied inside the	client to be pasted in
	      the xrdp session.	Default	value is none.	In addition,  you  can
	      control  text/file/image	transfer restrictions respectively. It
	      also accepts comma separated list	such as	text,file,image.

	      none - No	restriction about copying inbound clipboard data.
	      all - Restrict to	copy inbound clipboard data.
	      text - Restrict to copy only inbound text	clipboard data.
	      file - Restrict to copy only inbound file	clipboard data.
	      image - Restrict to copy only inbound image clipboard data.

	      To keep compatibility, the following aliases are also available.
	      true - an	alias of all.
	      false - an alias of none.
	      yes - an alias of	all.

       AlwaysGroupCheck=[true|false]
	      If set to	1, true	or yes,	require	group membership even  if  the
	      group specified in TerminalServerUsers doesn't exist.

       AllowAlternateShell=[true|false]
	      If  set  to 0, false or no, prevent usage	of alternate shells by
	      users.

       XorgNoNewPrivileges=[true|false]
	      Only applicable on Linux.	If set to 0, false or no, do  not  use
	      the kernel's no_new_privs	restriction when invoking the Xorg X11
	      server.  The  use	 of no_new_privs is intended to	prevent	issues
	      due to a setuid Xorg executable. However,	if a  kernel  security
	      module  (such as AppArmor) is used to confine xrdp, no_new_privs
	      may interfere with transitions between confinement domains.

       SessionSockdirGroup=group
	      Sets the group owner of the directories containing session sock-
	      ets. This	MUST be	the same as runtime_group in xrdp.ini, or xrdp
	      will not be able to connect to any sessions.

X11 SERVER
       Following parameters can	be used	in the [Xvnc] and [Xorg] sections.

       param=string
	      Multiple param lines are supported. This	first  line  specifies
	      the  path	 to the	X11 server executable. Following lines specify
	      command line arguments passed to the X11 server.

CHANSRV
       Following parameters can	be used	in the [Chansrv] section.

       FuseMountName=string
	      Directory	for drive redirection.	Created	if it  doesn't	exist.
	      If  not  specified, defaults to xrdp_client.  If first character
	      is not a '/', this is relative to	$HOME.

	      The following substitutions are made in this string:-
		  %U - Username
		  %u - Numeric UID
		  %d - Numeric display number (ex 10)
		  %D - Display environment variable (ex	:10.0)
		  %% - Percent character

	      1) The directory path permissions	MUST be	 configured  correctly
		 by the	system administrator or	the system itself - xrdp-chan-
		 srv will not do this for you (although	it will	create the fi-
		 nal directories owned by the user).

	      2)  The  desktop	may  not  automatically	display	a link for the
		 redirected drive. To fix this,	consult	the docs for your cho-
		 sen desktop.

       FuseDirectIO=[false|true]
	      Defaults to false. Set to	true to	disable	page caching  in  FUSE
	      when  opening files on a redirected drive. Direct	I/O can	impact
	      the performance of file operations.

       FileUmask=mode
	      Additional umask to apply	to files in the	 FuseMountName	direc-
	      tory.  The default value of 077 prevents other users on the sys-
	      tem  from	 reading files on your redirected drives. This may not
	      be appropriate for all environments, and so you can change  this
	      value  to	 allow	other users to access your remote files	if re-
	      quired.

       EnableFuseMount=[true|false]
	      Defaults to true.	 Set to	false to disable xrdp-chansrv's	use of
	      the FUSE system feature, even if it has  been  built  with  this
	      feature enabled.

	      Setting  this value to false will	disable	the following applica-
	      tion features:-

	      -	 drive redirection

	      -	 copying-and-pasting of	files

       UseNautilus3FlistFormat=[false|true]
	      Defaults to false.  Set to true to make file copy-paste compati-
	      ble with Nautilus	from GNOME 3 versions later than  3.29.92.  Do
	      not use this for any other reason.

	      This  setting  will  be removed in a later version of xrdp, when
	      GNOME 3 is no longer supported.

       SoundNumSilentFramesAAC=number
	      Sets the number of silent	frames which are sent to client	before
	      close message is sent, when AAC is selected. If  set  to	0,  no
	      silent frame is sent.  If	not specified, defaults	to 4.

       SoundNumSilentFramesMP3=number
	      Sets the number of silent	frames which are sent to client	before
	      close  message  is  sent,	 when MP3 is selected. If set to 0, no
	      silent frame is sent.  If	not specified, defaults	to 2.

       SoundMsecDoNotSend=number
	      Sets the duration(msec). Sound data is not send to client	during
	      number millisecond(s) after close	message	is sent, when  AAC/MP3
	      is  selected.   If set to	0, all the data	is sent. If not	speci-
	      fied, defaults to	1000.

SESSIONS VARIABLES
       All entries in the [SessionVariables] section are  set  as  environment
       variables in the	user's session.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/xrdp-devel/sesman.ini
