SUMMARY
There should probably be a note in the readme: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp communicating that the username is case sensitive. This might be obvious to native Linux users but if Windows users using a RDP client, they might not know the username needs to match the case of the server. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On the Krdp server create a username with a capital letter
2. On the RDP client connect with a username with all lower case letters
3. The client will silently fail

OBSERVED RESULT
Client fails to connect to the server

EXPECTED RESULT
Either the username needs to be non case sensitive on the server or this behavior should be noted in the readme: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp
