SUMMARY KRDC `25.04.0` now always asks for credentials. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open an RDP connection (new connection or from bookmarks) 2. See window for RDP connection. 3. See credentials form. 4. Click "OK" with the fields in blank. 5. Form will appear again, click "OK" again. 6. See "Could not connect to the server." OBSERVED RESULT "Could not connect to the server." message EXPECTED RESULT Connection to remote desktop. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Works properly with `24.12.3`. Reverted with `sudo flatpak update --commit=43837e1c6058e6ec8dec54fdc837c10ca62700ec79031160a8443b80957196b1 org.kde.krdc`
Hum, that's something that i use everyday. Just press "OK" and you should get connected. If the window pops up again, then the remote host asked for authentication. Disabling NLA/TLS auth from the connection could help, but it shouldn't be needed. If not, please run from the commandline: WLOG_LEVEL=DEBUG QT_LOGGING_RULES="KRDC=true" krdc and paste some logs.
Created attachment 181080 [details] Logs for krdc 25 requiring authentication
Created attachment 181081 [details] Logs for krdc 24 connecting without authentication
I uploaded two logs, for KRDC 25 it requires authentication two times and fails to connect. For KRDC 24 it connects properly. To get the logs I had to run with `flatpak run org.kde.krdc` after updating the variables with flatseal. There's an error messages: `qt.core.logging: Ignoring malformed logging rule: '"KRDC=true"'` For more details, my setup is a VM running with VirtualBox with the remote display server enabled and authentication method set to null.
Thank you for the log files. From what i can see under krdc 25 the problem is not related to credentials, but to the fact that the ssl library on your system are not validating the remote server certificate: --- [14:06:15:282] [2:00000016] [DEBUG][com.freerdp.core.gcc] - [gcc_read_server_security_data]: Server rdp encryption method: 128BIT [14:06:15:282] [2:00000016] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core] - [update_x509_from_info]: EVP_PKEY_fromdata_init(ctx) failed [14:06:15:282] [2:00000016] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core] - [update_x509_from_info]: failed to update x509 from rdpCertInfo --- This is probably caused by RDP using weak, old ciphers that are blocked by default on recent openssl versions. The issue happened also on the FreeRDP flatpack: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/11104 https://github.com/flathub/com.freerdp.FreeRDP/pull/62 https://github.com/flathub/com.freerdp.FreeRDP/issues/63 Can you try to download this openssl config file: https://github.com/flathub/com.freerdp.FreeRDP/pull/62/files#diff-fdfe97f9eaa77cd3e907822fbad45a5ec1e0d12ef455fd6bc588075c091c81bb and run krdc defining "OPENSSL_CONF=/app/share/legacy-openssl.cnf" as in this file: https://github.com/flathub/com.freerdp.FreeRDP/pull/62/files#diff-26581aa765cc6319e6f739ef4afd09201be927a8b5415a659f7104c37ae819df It could work. if it does, i can try to get these changes pushed into our flatpak.
