With kde-4.11 beta2, connecting to a remote rdp session (remote computer is Win7 64bit) causes the remote password to be prompted on command line (you have to run krdc from a terminal to even be aware of this). In kde-4.10, when krdc still used rdesktop for rdp, you would be presented with the remote login screen instead. Reproducible: Always
What version of freerdp have you installed?
The version is freerdp 1.1.0 beta1.
I have only tested with freerdp 1.0.2. It looks like 1.1.0 beta1 is not ready for KRDC use. Please try with 1.0.2 and tell me if it works for you.
I got the same results with freerdp 1.0.2, and also with krdc-4.10.95. I found however, that ticking the option 'Remember password (kwallet)' - which I hadn't used before - makes krdc show a little popup window as password challenge.
Oh yes, this is with version 1.1 beta1 again, so the new version seems to work after all.
@Andreas: If I got it right, it DOES work if you activate "Remember password". It does NOT work correct if you do not activate this checkbox. Correct?
Correct.
I can confirm this issue and will look into it. In my tests, only a Win7 machine was affected (older ones seem to work fine). Workarounds: * put "-u USERNAME -p PASSWORD" into the "Extra options" field (Host configuration dialog) * activate "Remember Password"
Is there any workaround that does not involve "save password"?
I have asked xfreerdp developers for the best solution. See also: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/1396#issuecomment-22243610 I will change KRDC to ask for a username / password before connecting in each case, not only when wallet support is activated (but of course not saving it to wallet in this case). This way I can pass the data to xfreerdp.
