RDP password not passed through

[Vincent Maroun]

Binary package hint: tsclient

TSClient 0.148
rdesktop 1.5.0
Ubuntu Feisty

TSClient does not pass through the entered password to the Remote Desktop server (I have to enter the password regardless of whether I enter it on the TSClient window).

In addition, it does not save the entered password into the .rdp file it creates. Finally, when I load a preexisting functioning .rdp file (containing a saved password) created with a Windows Remote Desktop client, TSClient does not show anything in the password box, nor does it pass the password thrugh to the RDP server.

"rdesktop -u username -p password host.domain.com" successfully passes the password.

Fixed on upstream.

I am running Gutsy with rdesktop 1.5 and tsclient 0.148 and the passwords are not passed to Vista or Win2003 RDP sessions. What does "Fixed on upstream" mean? Thanks!

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

It means that in version 0.150 this is fixed.

[Alexi Helligar (alexih)]

Thanks, Jonh!

I installed 0.150 and that problem has been addressed. There were a
couple of other issues: 1) when connecting to Vista the remote
wallpaper was displayed and there was no obvious way to disable it; 2)
screen composting in Vista was inferior to 0.148; 3) saving RDP
sessions caused tsclient to crash; 4) previous RDP sessions do not
appear on the "Computer" pick list (this appears to be a problem in
0.148 as well).

Thanks.
