Thanks everyone, got it working!
Changing auth mode to “any” and adding ignore-cert caused a new log entry:
“Authentication requested but username or password not given”
So that prompted me to add username and password to the xml and boom it worked.
Then I tried changing it from “any” to “tls”. Connection worked, but logon
failed.
Finally I realized that I also needed to add the domain param since this VM is
in a domain.
Everything is working as intended.
Last question: can I use md5 encoding on the connection password for a
connection like I can for the authorize password:
<authorize
username="Rhysers"
password="<md5 hash>"
encoding="md5">
…….
Thanks again!
Rhys

I think you also have to set the ignore certificate setting

Thanks for the quick reply! No joy though. Logs basically the same, except it
lists tls now.

Hi,
You must set the security in the connection config to TLS with windows 2012 and
newer

Betreff: Newbie having trouble getting RDP working
Hello all,
Forgive me for any noob questions or omissions, I subscribe to a “learn it as I
go” model.
I’m having trouble getting RDP to work on my Guacamole setup. I’m using it for
KVM virtual machines on a bridged adapter.
RDP works into the VM from my workstation that is not the same box as guacamole
is running on.
Host: Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 LTS
Guest: Virtual Windows Server 2016 (VM I’m trying to RDP into)
Guacamole Version: 0.9.14
Libfreerdp-dev version: 1.1.0~git20140921.1.440916e+dfsg1-15ubuntu1
When I try to open through guacamole I get the following in the web browser:
“The remote desktop server is currently unreachable. If the problem persists,
please notify your system administrator, or check your system logs.”
Syslog shows this:
Aug 12 20:53:49 odin guacd[4234]: Creating new client for protocol "rdp"
Aug 12 20:53:49 odin guacd[4234]: Connection ID is <omitted>"

I do not show any failed attempts to connect in the event viewer. I’m looking
in Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows >
TerminalServices-LocalSessionsManager > Operational
My user.mapping for rdp is this:
<connection name="RDP">
<protocol>rdp</protocol>
<param name="hostname">172.16.99.162</param>
<param name="port">3389</param>
<param name="enable-wallpaper">true</param>
</connection>
Use of the Google Machine found someone else with these exact errors some years
ago and they fixed by removing the requirement for NLA on the server. Tried
this, didn’t help.
VNC and SSH work fine.
Prerequisite check showed good for RDP before building
This is the first thing I’ve built like this. Used official documentation from
the website.
Not sure where to go next for troubleshooting. Rebuild? I hope not. Any advice
appreciated.
Thanks for any help.
