Dear Maintainer,
Attempting to connect to a computer running Remote Desktop Services on
Windows Server 2008 R2 (with default settings as far as I am aware)
using FreeRDP 2.7.0+dfsg1-1+b1 with default options fails with:
$ wlfreerdp /v:192.168.0.2
[08:00:38:003] [283611:283611] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core] - transport_connect_tls:freerdp_set_last_error_ex ERRCONNECT_TLS_CONNECT_FAILED [0x00020008]
[08:00:38:005] [283611:283611] [ERROR][com.freerdp.client.wayland] - Failed to connect
Using FreeRDP 2.7.0+dfsg1-1 (or 2.6.1+dfsg1-3+b1) works as expected.
This appears to be the same issue as Debian Bug 912206. However, it
is now necessary to use seclevel 0 (by adding
/tls-ciphers:DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=0 or /tls-seclevel:0) rather than 1.
Since Server 2008 R2 is no longer generally supported, I wouldn't
recommend decreasing the default seclevel (unless there are other
supported RDP server versions which require it) but it would be nice
if the error message gave users some suggestions for likely causes of
ERRCONNECT_TLS_CONNECT_FAILED and how to address them.
Thanks,
Kevin
