    xrdp-sesman listening port. If not specified, defaults to 3350.

EnableUserWindowManager=[true|false]
    If set to 1, true or yes, this option enables user specific startup script. That is, xrdp-sesman will execute the script specified by UserWindowManager if it exists.

UserWindowManager=filename
    Name of the startup script relative to the user's home directory. If present and enabled by EnableUserWindowManager, that script is executed instead of DefaultWindowManager.

LogFile=filename
    Log file path. It can be either absolute or relative. If not specified, defaults to ./sesman.log

LogLevel=level
    This option can have one of the following values: CORE or 0 - Log only core messages. Those messages are logged regardless of the selected logging level. ERROR or 1 - Log only error messages. WARNING, WARN or 2 - Logs warnings and error messages. INFO or 3 - Log errors, warnings and informational messages. DEBUG or 4 - Log everything. If xrdp-sesman is compiled in debug mode, this options will output many more low-level messages.

EnableSyslog=[true|false]
    If set to 1, true or yes, this option enables logging to syslog.

SyslogLevel=level

SESSIONS
Following parameters can be used in the [Sessions] section.

X11DisplayOffset=number
    The first X display number available for xrdp-sesman. This prevents xrdp-sesman from interfering with real X11 servers. If not specified, defaults to 10.

MaxSessions=number
    Sets the maximum number of simultaneous sessions. If not set or set to 0, unlimited session are allowed.

KillDisconnected=[true|false]
    If set to 1, true or yes, every session will be killed within 60 seconds after the user disconnects.

    This option is currently ignored! Time limit before an idle session is disconnected. If set to 0, automatic disconnection is disabled.

DisconnectedTimeLimit=number
    Sets the time limit (in seconds) before a disconnected session is killed. If set to 0, automatic killing is disabled.

Policy=[Default|UBD|UBI|UBC|UBDI|UBDC]
    Session allocation policy. By default, a new session is created for the combination <User,BitPerPixel> when using Xrdp, and for the combination <User,BitPerPixel,DisplaySize> when using Xvnc. This behavior can be changed by setting session policy to:
    UBD - session per <User,BitPerPixel,DisplaySize>
    UBI - session per <User,BitPerPixel,IPAddr>
    UBC - session per <User,BitPerPixel,Connection>
    UBDI - session per <User,BitPerPixel,DisplaySize,IPAddr>
    UBDC - session per <User,BitPerPixel,DisplaySize,Connection>
    Note that the User and BitPerPixel criteria cannot be turned off. For Xvnc connections, DisplaySize is always enabled as well.
