Dear Maintainer,

we try to use freerdp to connect to aad (azure ad /entra) enabled hosts.
To make this work we need

    -DWITH_WEBVIEW=ON
    -DWITH_WEBVIEW_QT=ON

Or say we it we testet it with an rebuild of your package with this
addional settings and it worked.

We changed:


freerdp3/debian/rules

    -DWITH_SDL_IMAGE_DIALOGS=ON \
    -DWITH_WEBVIEW=ON \
    -DWITH_WEBVIEW_QT=ON \
    -DWITH_PULSE=ON \


freerdp3/debian/control

 xsltproc,
 libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev,
 qtwebengine5-dev,
Standards-Version: 4.6.2

I´d advise against enabling -DWITH_WEBVIEW=ON at this point in time as
this is considered unreliable (FreeRDP dev here)

the whole thing does not block the AAD authentication (it works with
copt & paste via command line by default as well) and just does not
provide a comfortable webview with automatic token extraction


regards
