Click to start an XDM broadcast to hosts on your local
network subnet, This is over XDMCP on YOUR Network, not over Secure Shell.
What you are looking at
When you click the button, WebTerm X performs a local broadcast and shows
you all of the local hosts available to you. Select one, and it starts in
the way the host configuration files dictate: One or more individual
applications start, or an entire desktop session starts. All of these
applications and sessions run outside the Web browser as detached windows.
If any of the applications require you to
click on the "root window", you'll see a root task bar on the
Windows desktop. Left or right click on this graphical task bar (depending
on the X client) to see the application's root pop-up menu.
The benefits for your organization This example shows one way to use XDM in the WebTerm X
environment. If your users already have a environment set up that starts a
specific set of applications or a specific X Windows desktop environment
(like KDE or Gnome), you can centrally configure Web pages that allow them to use
these X Windows applications.
With XDM and the WebTerm X Administrator, you
can also embed an XDM login window in the Web page, launch a single X client
application, or choose various ways to launch X Windows using specific host
names, broadcasts, and indirect hosts.
The final stop on the tour The conclusion of this
tour. You'll see

features and benefits of the WebTerm X.
