Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tsclient
We are getting a lot of people in our office to start using Ubuntu - and
Terminal Services is an important part of it.
I have seen a lot of people expecting the following:
1. The Quick Connect dropdown has a list of saved profiles
2. When you select a particular profile from Quick Connect, the Logon Settings
section gets populated with the profile settings.
3. When you press connect, terminal services connects according to the logon
settings (which came from a saved profile)
4. With reference to Bug #160038 , the last N hosts connected to (but
not saved *explicitly* as a named profile) should still be available in
the Quick Connect dropdown, named as the IP address of the machine you
used. The explicitly saved profiles and the auto-saved last-n-hosts can
be separated by a separator.
5. Do NOT save passwords unless a checkbox ("Save Password?") is ticked.
This is to prevent a sysadmin temporarily using a machine to connect and
having the password saved.
I have had a lot of people being surprised when selection of a profile (#2
above) causes a connection to launch. These people are used to the way putty
handles profiles and it was very puzzling for them.
It would be great if these usability issues are addressed!
thanks.
