Login button on logged-out-page not always 'active'

When a users logs out of the SSGD webtop with the logout-button the logged-out-page is shown. The logged-out-page contains a login-button. The login-button is not always 'active' (when clicking on the login-button nothing happens).

When looking into the JSP-code of the logged-out-page the 'activation' of the login-button is based upon the status of the TCC (Tarantella Client Connector/a SSGD-application which displays the applications). When the TCC is still running the login-button is 'activated'. This is a bit strange since logging out of the SGD webtop will stop the TCC.

/opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat//webapps/sgd/webtops/standard/webtop/logged-out.jsp
I saw a check to 'enable' or 'disable' the login-button. The button is 'enabled' when the TCC is stll running.


A quick fix to always show the link by editing the logged-out-page. Follow these steps:

• Logon to the SSGD server

• Go to the directory:
  /opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat//webapps/sgd/webtops/standard/webtop

• Edit the file:
  logged-out.jsp

• change line (109 for SGD4.50) from

boolean showLoginLink = (tccStarted != null && tccStarted.equals("true"));

• to

boolean showLoginLink = (tccStarted != null && tccStarted.equals("true"));
showLoginLink = true;

After this change verify the change by logging on to the webtop and log out again to see if the login-button is 'active'.

SSGD Mac OS10.5 no key input possible

Today one of our customers stated that on their Mac clients the keyboard input was not passed to the applications provided by Sun Secure Global Desktop. They have searched the internet for a solution, but it is hard to find the simple fix.

Since MacOS 10.5.1 the location of the file XKeysymDB has been changed. When creating a symbolic link for this file in the 'old' location resolved the issue mentioned above.

ln -s /usr/X11/share/X11/XKeysymDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB

Hopefully this post will make it easier to find this little fix.
