After requesting a Tango download of control applet, one may get a security dialog (grant permission to download and remember decision), and first one is asked (as on previous page) to choose a server
-
Servers are available for distribution but typically start with default one
-
one also asked to choose a "control interface" which just correspond to different selections of applications to share

After a while, if all goes well, one gets the request to "login" which currently just requires that you type in a unique "handle" by which you are known in the collaboration room.
-
In Tango1, each server supports a single room but we will see that although all users are potential participants in a shared application, one can set up complex relationships as any given session can involve a different subset of users.
-
Currently Tango has no security mechanisms in the login process although one has some control over allowed actions in a given shared application.

Note we define a session as an instance of an application shared by a set of users. One can have any number of sessions based on a given application which separate instantiations of the application and different subsets of users. As we will see users decide who joins a given session.
