[solved] Cauldron: rdestop doesn't find gssapi_mesh.conf

Hello,
I was used to connect a windows desktop using rdesktop on mageia5. After some test I migrated on Cauldron to get mageia 6.
I can't connect this window machine anymore, rdesktop return:
Code: Select all
Autoselected keyboard map fr
Password:
warning: unable to open /etc/gssapi_mech.conf: errno 2 (Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type)
WARNING: CredSSP: System doesn't have support for desired authentication mechanism.
Connection established using SSL.
disconnect: Disconnect initiated by user.


It seems there is no mga6 package which include gssapi_mech.conf
Any idea?

The message about /etc/gssapi_mech.conf is not fatal, that is due to missing kerberisation, rdesktop afterwards switches to openssl mode.
And the last line looks like a connection was established and then closed by you, or it could be a problem with the server certificate or the certificate chain.

Does the same problem occur if you use freerdp or remmina? Please also mention the windows server version that you are connecting to.

Hello Doktor5000,
I didn't cope with freerdp options.
Anyway I don't know whether it's after an update of mageia on my destop, one of windows on the remote destop but it works now.
I still have the warning but ok, it's just a warning.

Thank's for helping
