#48797: Upgrade rdesktop to 1.8.3 (Windows 2012/Win 2012 R2 support) -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: rdesktop | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by macports@…): For anyone else playing along at home, it turns out that [http://www.freerdp.com/ FreeRDP] does support Windows 2012/Windows 2012 R2 RDP, and there is a [https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/net/FreeRDP/Portfile fairly recent (git snapshot) version in Macports]. The command line arguments are somewhat different (including Windows style command line flags rather than unix style ones), but at least for basic "I need to log in and check this one thing on a server" functionality it seems to just work with Windows 2012. Of note, Win2012 (or Win2012 R2) seems to be defaulting to 'requiring' CredSSP authentication -- even when I tried rdesktop 1.8.3 on a recent Linux VM (Ubuntu 15.04/Vivid), it was failing the CredSSP authentication for reasons which weren't obvious (possibly just missing dependencies). Which led me to looking for alternatives, and thus to FreeRDP. (And it seems like [ticket:26336 FreeRDP started as a fork of rdesktop].)
