Description Marc Haber 2010-12-23 15:46:04 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

Hi,

Please give better information about how to format an RDP "URL". In KDE 3, it used to be possible to encode the user name to connect with in the connect string, something along the line of rdp://"username@ad.domain.example"@hostname.example (don't quote me on exact syntax).

This is no longer possible in KDE 4, the bookmark editor deletes the entire line when I type the second @.

Please document how to set a bookmark to connect to server X, using user name Y (including an AD domain), leaving only the password to be entered.

Greetings
Marc


Reproducible: Always

You need to enter an URL in URI encoded syntax, i.e. @ as %40. Can you please confirm that this information is correct? We could add it to the manual or UI.

@Marc Haber: Can you please confirm that my comment is correct (see above)?

Comment 3 Urs Wolfer 2013-01-01 17:32:47 UTC

I have tested it and can confirm that the username / password needs to be percent encoded. This information should be added to the manual or UI.

Comment 4 Burkhard Lück 2016-07-25 18:33:00 UTC

This info was added to the krdc manual in kde 4.11

@Burkhard Lueck: Thanks for your work on the KRDC manual.
