+# Remote Logon Service
+
+## Introduction
+
+A small service to grab various remote login possibilities from the local
+network configuration, network servers that provide them, and present
+them to the user to log into for both applications and full desktop
+posibilities.
+
+This project has been forked from Ubuntu's remote-login-service project
+[1] by the X2Go/Arctica Project to support Remote Login against Linux
+machines via X2Go.
+
+## Configuring the Remote Logon Service
+
+The service's configuration file is located in
+```
+  /etc/remote-logon-service.conf
+```
+Adapt the default configuration to your needs.
+
+### Using Arctica Session Broker as service backend
+
+This backend is not available, yet.
+
+### Using an X2Go Session Broker as service backend
+
+When using an X2Go Session Broker as service backend, adapt the service
+configuration file like this:
+
+```
+[Remote Login Service]
+Servers=MyUCCSTest
+
+[Server MyUCCSTest]
+Name=Remote Login
+URI=http://x2gobroker.localdomain:8080/uccs/inifile/
+```
+
+## Testing the service
+
+After you have installed and configured the Remote Logon Service, you can
+query the remote logon service manually using the ´´dbus-send´´ command:
+
+```
+dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest="org.ArcticaProject.RemoteLogon" \
+          /org/ArcticaProject/RemoteLogon org.ArcticaProject.RemoteLogon.GetServersForLogin \
+          string:'http://x2gobroker.localdomain:8080/uccs/inifile/' \
+          string:'<user>' \
+          string:'<password>' \
+          boolean:true
+```
