------------------------------

             Summary: RDP login failed when Active Directory policy "Log on to" 
is set for user.
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-1357
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1357
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: guacamole, guacd
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: joe


We have a few Windows machines in our environment and wanted to RDP to them via 
Guacamole.

There is Active Directory Users and Computers policy in place, each user has 
specific computer names in list of their "Log on to" policy. NLA is also 
enforced in the remote access settings.

 

When users try to use Guacamole to connect their machines, "Login failed" error 
is displayed. The guacd log reads:  

"RDP server closed/refused connection: Authentication failure (invalid 
credentials?)"

 

When the "Log on to" policy is changed to "All Computers" for that user, the 
problem is resolved. Changing authentication type from "NLA" from both 
Guacamole and the server also resolves the problem. But both of these 
workarounds are against security policies. 

 

Also it's worth noting that the "Log on to" policy is kind of tricky because it 
also restricts the machines which users may use to "Log on _from_". So we added 
both users' machines and servers to their "Log on to" and now they have no 
problem using mstsc connecting to servers.

I tried adding a "Client name"  in Guacamole basic settings and added that name 
in the list of "Log on to" but no chance.

 

Thanks in advance for your help
