hi,

if there are no security measurements set up, the easiest way would be starting ReflectionX and setting it to XDMCP broadcast mode, where You will end up right at the CDE's login screen.

CDE of course has to be running on Your HP-UX server, which You can control by browsing the system startup log /etc/rc.log, at the end of runlevel 3 it should say 'Starting CDE login server'. If it doesn't, try manuelly starting /sbin/init.d/dtlogin (I hope I got the name right)

What else can happen?
- Font issues: easiest way of of these: configure (in /etc/rc.config.d/) and start (in /sbin/init.d/) the xfs daemon (X font server) and change ReflectionX's font path settings to point to tcp://hpux-server:7000

- XDMCP issues, in that case try to verify them by logging into a console session (ssh) and issueing
export DISPLAY=windowshost:0.0
/usr/bin/X11/xterm &

if it does pop up change from XDCMP broadcast to XDCMP indirect mode and edit the connection accordingly, otherwise ask here.

Shalom radi,

You need a client.

it can be cgywin, relflection or hummingbird.

Its also pretty easily to use a redhat workstation as an X windows control station for CDE.

The VNC has allways been my perfered product. It works for all platforms, just install the server on the server and start the CDE in it.
Then connect with the client vncviewer from your machine.

Hi radi,

Otherwise you can try X over SSH.
Follow this link for a tutorial :

As you sure already know on HPUX ssh is part of Secure Shell and you can find it here :

Hi radi,

In HPUX server:

# swlist -l product CDE

Verify also file:

/etc/rc.config.d/desktop
DESKTOP=CDE

Start process "dtlogin":

/sbin/init.d/dtlogig.rc start

Install in HPUX:

T1471AA A.04.20.004 HP-UX Secure Shell

And configure you secure reflection session .

ran



In PC install last version of ReflectionX, an configure

Hi Radi,

You can install Xmanager from www.netsarang.com and # export DISPLAY=:0.0
Start Xmanager and enter HP-UX IP to get CDE.

Hi radi,

I access CDE by using exceed.

Once installed the exceed you need to set up the video, go to xconfig utility, depending on the release you should go to screen definition or video then change "server visual" to PseudoColor.

To start an xsession go to Xsession utility, then in:
Session
Included Programs

click on Options
Click on Browse to choose the Configuration File.
Choose EXCEED.CFG

Then in startup Options:
Window Mode --> Single
Startup Mode --> XDCMP-query
Connect Host --> (Ip address, or hostname if it can be resolved)
This way you can access the HP-UX CDE mode.

If you can't access:

And the the OS is: Winnt, win2000 or XP, just in case check up the firewall client is disabled.
And exists politics to access the HP-UX server, check up that you have access to XDMCP protocol.


Hope this can help.

Best regards
