I'm interested in doing something similar, or at least somewhat related. I have a multi-server system that performs authentication and authorization at the gateway, then selectively forwards the right port to the right server machine. At the moment, the user is able to connect to an already-running Xvnc session on the server machine through that forwarded port. I would like to augment/replace VNC with RDP. The easiest and most isolated way is to use one xrdp process per user/Xvnc. All the processes involved (xrdp, sesman if required, Xvnc, and the client applications) can run as the user -- no root at all. I imagine running xrdp as the user shouldn't be too hard (unless it insists on root for some reason). What I don't know is how to bypass the dialog asking what session to run. This is exactly what the original poster was asking. More info would be appreciated. Can I get rid of the dialog entirely? I'm perfectly happy to hack/modify C code to do this, in which case it would be handy to know where I should start. Besides that issue (bypassing the dialog), do you foresee any other problems with running xrdp in a single-client, single-session manner? My servers can handle 500 Xvnc sessions (along with client software) with acceptable performance. I understand adding 500 xrdp processes will hurt a little on memory and CPU, but worst case I can reduce the number of clients by ten percent or whatever it takes.
