  • In RHEL7 how do I enable XDMCP?

    Posted on

    Tried the following steps:

    • Installed GDM packages using command line:
      yum install gdm -y

    Edited /etc/gdm/custom.conf file and added the foolowing entries:
    [xdmcp]
    Enable=true

    [security]
    DisallowTCP=false
    AllowRemoteRoot=true

    • Rebooted RHEL7.

    On the X server, tried XDMCP connection to RHEL7 host, got back message: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again."

    Thank you for your attention.
