workspaces-issues VS FreeRDP

See: https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-issues/issues/244

I just made a github bug report over at https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-issues/issues/368, but I'm curious to put out feelers and see if anyone else has noticed strange behavior from recent Kasm releases regarding this. Basically, when setting up a new Workspace based on a Windows RDP Server, the username/password field that used to automatically log in the session don't seem to do anything useful anymore. The dark horse possibility is this has something to do with my reverse proxy through Traefik, but my gut says this is unrelated- especially because it behaves the same when logging in and using Kasm locally. Logging in manually still works.

#======================================================================== # NAME: run1in.sh # # PURPOSE: # # Login to Windows and Execute a Remote App to display on your # Linux Desktop using the Linux application called "freerdp" with: # # Since we are "localized" (Host to Container on the Host) we ignore # (re "don't use" RDP normal "certificate" authentication. # #------------------------------------------------------------- # xfreerdp command line options used are: # # (bpp:32) 32 bits per pixel (ie display resolution) # # a dynamic remote desktop "window" that's can be # resized/minimized/maximized on your Linux Desktop # # There are 2 Prerequisites for use of this script: # # 1) You have installed freerdp on your Linux Host # $ sudo apt install freerdp2-x11 -y # -or- # $ sudo apt install freerdp2-wayland -y # # 2) You have created a folder named "shared-folder" on your Linux # Host # example: $ mkdir /home/yourID/shared-folder # # You will use that folder to for exchange of files to/from your # Linux "/home/yourID/shared-folder" and the "Windows" system # you are connecting to! # # On Windows you have to click on "Network" to see the # "shared-folder" to copy/cut&paste/rename files to/from your # Linux Host's "shared-folder" /home/yourID/shared-folder # # Enable use of Clipboard to/from Windows and the Linux Host # # Enable Sound using currently utilizing Pulseaudio on the Linux Host as # neither XRDP or freerdp support/implement Pipewire yet. # # On login to Windows execute the Explorer.exe application which you had # previously setup as a Windows "Remote App" using Kim Knight's awesome # "RemoteAppTool" Windows native application (its on Github). # # On xfreerdp login to Windows the "Remote App".. Window's "Explorer.exe" # will start-up and be presented to the Linux Desktop User as # just another Linux Desktop application's "window". So you will see # Window's "Explorer.exe" presented which you can resize, minimize or # maximize --- or copy files to/from Windows & your Linux Host # /home/yourID/shared-folder # #--------- # NOTE #--------- # There are many more "xfreerdp" command options available: # # see: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/CommandLineInterface # # One in particular is can be very useful: # "printer:," : Redirect a specific printer from your # Linux Host to your xfreerdp Windows Desktop "session" so you can print # from Windows to your local Linux attached Printer. #========================================================================

aFreeRDP (version 2.11.0): FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol client

On the linux side, recently I hacked on freerdp to get basic pen & eraser functionality working from the X11 client to be able to remote from linux to windows: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/pull/9080

Our Linux and Mac users have long used RDP to log into Windows. That's largely obsolete, so the plan is for the remaining Windows to be Infrastructure-as-Code via DSC.

FreeRDP has had RemoteApp support for a long time. I'd try out that client and see if you could get debugging messages -- or possibly it might just work? They have documentation on the protocol, and pointers to Microsoft's documentation.

For Linux there is XRDP as well as FreeRDP https://www.freerdp.com both open sourced recreations of the original RDP standard and available for Operating Systems like Linux.
