Description

Remote Desktop client supporting the RDP protocol, as used by MS Windows.  

The application directory contains RDesktop (the tool itself) and RDesktopGUI (a graphical user interface for setting various options and arguements when launching rdesktop).


Usage

Notes

To be able to connect to a Windows 10/11 (Pro) computer, enable the Remote Desktop setting and disable the requirement of Network Level Authentication on the remote computer. If the NLA setting is enabled, you get a CredSSP error when trying to connect on the remote machine.

To prepare a Windows 11 Pro setup for connecting from MorphOS:

  1. Open Settings -> System -> Remote Desktop
  2. Toggle the Remote Desktop setting On
  3. Click the arrow on the right side of the toggle button to get more settings
  4. Disable the "Require devices to use Network Level Authentication to connect" setting

Now you should be able to connect to the Windows computer if you set the Experience/Encryption setting to TLS 1.2 in the MorphOS RDesktop client.

If you're using a Microsoft account for an enabled user, enter the email address as the username in the RDesktop GUI.

If you want to use other encryption settings, or disable it completely, you can use this solution at the server side (source):

  1. Open a Run dialog using Win-R.  Type "gpedit.msc" and hit Enter.
  2. On the left tree view, click on Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Security
  3. Double-click on the "Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections" setting on the right.
  4. Select the "Enabled" radio button
  5. Select "Negotiate" (or "RDP") from the "Security Layer" drop-down and click OK.
