Bug 527568 – net-misc/rdesktop-1.8.2 - fails to connect to Windows servers with Kerberos/CredSSP auth

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Volkmar Glauche 2014-10-31 09:15:59 UTC]

Apparently, 1.8.2 has a regression which makes it unusable for some people, including me. See https://www.cendio.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5209. I can't connect to my Windows Terminal Servers using 1.8.2 at all because of a "Invalid licensing message", as described in the bug report at cendio.
I have applied upstream patches (http://sourceforge.net/p/rdesktop/code/commit_browser) for commits 1823, 1825, 1827 and can confirm that these patches apply cleanly and restore the ability to connect to my Windows Terminal Servers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =net-misc/rdesktop-1.8.2
2. Run rdesktop in an environment with Kerberos tickets 
3.
Actual Results:  
rdesktop exits with "Invalid licensing message"

Expected Results:  
rdesktop should connect to the server

Thanks for the report! Upstream released 1.8.3,including all these fixes and I just added it to CVS. Can you test with this new version if it works fine for you?

1.8.3 compiles fine and works as expected wrt this bug.

Thanks for the confirmation, marking fixed with 1.8.3 then (I will ask for its stabilization soon unless other bugs appear)
