[openthinclient-user] Problems with double bounce RDP
Hi, I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this with OpenThinClient, or it could be the Rdesktop application that is the problem. We use Openthinclient to connect to a 2008 terminal server, the issue is, if a user then decides to remote desktop from the 2008 terminal server to another machine, it just freezes. Sometimes you get the remote computer, however the login screen is frozen. I have also tested this with Openthinclient to a 2003 terminal server connecting to another machine. It also freezes. I know its related to Openthinclient, if I double bounce from my windows machine to the terminal server to then connect to another machine, it works fine. Has anyone else experiences this issue to double bouncing RDP sessions from Openthinclient?

hi kevin, if you are not using OTC's single-sign-on feature (or not using a preconfigured username/password) you might have to add the following parameter to your freeRDP application: -u --no-nla there will be a fix/workaround for this issue in upcoming freeRDP releses. cheers, martin Am 22.07.2011 15:20, schrieb Kevin Halstead: Hi, I've attempted to apply the freeRDP, bit it doesn't work.

Re: [openthinclient-user] [Openthinclient-user] rdesktop only passes first three characters of login to Virtual Desktop
Hi Martin, I've just tried adding -u --no-nla to FreeRDP under manual parameters. Unfortunately by adding it, after I log on I get a black screen and that is it. So I'm afraid it hasn't worked for me I'm afraid :( Hopefully a new version of freeRDP will be released soon which fully supports it. Thanks for your help anyway.
