How to properly terminate an idle connection (xrdp + xvnc)?

[rayrapetyan]

Hello, I'm using xvnc as a "last mile" protocol (due to #2046 bug), and wondering how to properly kill an idle connection in this case? I've tried -IdleTimeout xvnc option, it works, but in a weird way - connection terminates after timeout, but when I reconnect - I see everything remain the same: rdp connection remains alive.

Hi @rayrapetyan

The -IdleTimeout option on xvnc removes VNC clients (in this case the xrdp process), but leaves the session running. From the TigerVNC manpage:-

  -IdleTimeout seconds
        The  number  of seconds after which an idle VNC connection will be dropped.  Default is 0, which means that idle connec‐
        tions will never be dropped.

You possibly want to use -MaxIdleTime instead:-

  -MaxIdleTime seconds
         Terminate after N seconds of user inactivity.  Default is 0.

Does that do what you want?

Thanks! Missed that parameter...
