Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2016-03-04 09:06:30 CET 
This code snippet is from tladm/tlwebadm/templates/status/sessions.tmpl:

>          <td class="label">Shadow this session</td>
>          <td class="info">
>            <form method="post"
>                  action="https://$qh($thisserver)/thinlinc/tlclient.cgi">

tlclient.cgi is an optional component and is only installed if a apache httpd server is found on the system. Even if it is installed, we can't be sure that it's present on the $thisserver hostname, at the /thinlinc/ path, on the https port.
Comment 2 Pierre Ossman cendio 2016-03-08 10:36:22 CET 
There are also other options available, like integrating tlclient.cgi functionality directly in tlwebadm, or using the HTML client.
Comment 4 Samuel Mannehed cendio 2017-09-14 16:58:45 CEST 
It also assumes that tlclient.cgi is available on the default port.
