Server:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[XDMCPServer]
enabled=true

Check iptables/firewalld
xdmcp 177/udp

systemctl stop lxdm.service
systemctl disable lxdm.service
systemctl enable lightdm.service
systemctl start lightdm.service

Client(s):
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults]
xdmcp-manager=server/ip/name

nmap -sU -p 177 server/ip/name

There are bugs & shortcomings.
I leave you the rest of the setup. ;)
