Generic access request now moved to #1799.

Stackable authentication modules moved to #1728

Still TODO: add UI prompt authentication via built-in GTK based prompt, "dialog"?


Fri, 29 Dec 2017 17:19:05 GMT - Antoine Martin:

Implemented for shadow servers using the new "exec" auth module in r17780. With platform support for macos added in r17781 + r17825 + r17822, win32 in r17783, and RPM + DEB packaging in r17782.

Usage:

xpra shadow --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000 --tcp-auth=exec

This will popup a dialog asking if the new connection should be allowed or not.

This new auth module has two configuration options:

As per #1728, this can now be combined with other auth modules. (ie: password + request, or tcp-wrappers + request, etc)

This is only useful for "shadow" sessions since there will be an existing display connected where the user can accept the request.

Still TODO:

We could piggyback onto #1735
