This page lists the Sun Ray sessions, including the user sessions and login greeter/idle sessions. Sun Ray sessions are groups of services or applications that are associated with an authentication token. They reside on a Sun Ray server and can be directed to any client. See Chapter 7, Sessions and Tokens for more information.
Filter the list of sessions by using the Search field, such as sessions running on all Sun Ray servers or a single server.
Display the sessions on all the servers or a specific server, sorted by user sessions and idle sessions.
Display details about the server or client associated with the session.
Terminate one or more sessions.
The search field enables you to filter what sessions are displayed
in the Sessions table. The drop-down menu enables you to filter
the sessions on all the Sun Ray servers in the failover group or a
single server. By default, a wildcard (*) is in the search field
to display all the sessions based on the selected filter. You can
also specify a session token name or partial name in the field to
further filter the list of sessions that are displayed. After you
specify a new search string, you can always click Reset
Search Criteria
to reset the search back to the default.
To terminate one or more sessions, select the sessions in the sessions list (either individually or with the Select All button) and then click Terminate.
User Sessions - List of the user sessions based on the current search filter. These are sessions with UNIX users logged in, also known as non-idle sessions. Users may start up additional applications from within the sessions, thus potentially consuming a lot of system resources. User sessions are therefore of more interest to administrators than idle sessions. To free system resources, monitor the number of long-running disconnected user sessions and, when appropriate, terminate sessions that are no longer in use.
Login Greeter/Idle Sessions
- List of sessions at the login greeter stage based on the
current search filter. These sessions typically display only a
login screen (or login greeter such as
dtlogin
or gdm
) where no
user has been logged in yet. The lifetime of these sessions is
controlled by the Sun Ray system. For example, disconnected
idle sessions are automatically terminated (reaped off) by the
system after a specific time interval.
Token - The token ID for the session.
Owner - The owner of the session, which is set if the token for the session is registered.
Unix ID - The Unix ID of the session owner.
Server - The Sun Ray server on which the session is currently running. Click on the server name for more details on the server. See Section B.1, “Servers Tab” for details.
Display - The number of the X server display for the session.
Status - Specifies if the
session is Connected
or
Disconnected
.
Connected - Sessions with a connected status are currently displayed on a client. The session is automatically disconnected when the user removes the smart card or explicitly switches the client to a different session, for example, with the utswitch or utselect commands.
Disconnected - Sessions still running on a server but are not connected to a client and, consequently, are not displayed. However, a user can reconnect to a disconnected session, such as inserting a smart card containing the appropriate token into the card reader on a client. This changes the session's state to connected and causes it to be displayed on that client.
Desktop Unit - The client
ID (full version) of the client currently connected to the
session. Examples include
IEEE802.080020b5ca55
for a Sun Ray Client
and MD5.d8b3a4eb29497e0c6fbb0f2a810267f5
for an Oracle Virtual Desktop Client. Click the client ID for
more details on the client. See
Section B.3, “Desktop Units Tab” for details.
