Freerdp: protocol security negotiation failure

[alizafzali]

Hi

i just tried to connecting to my Hyper-V server with this command (From my Ubuntu and the FreeRDP version is latest one):

xfreerdp /cert-ignore –no-nego /u:administrator /p:123 /v:192.168.172.129 /port:2179 /vmconnect:8021D293-FA6F-4CB5-AFD2-2499936D0949

but i got this error message :

transport_connect: getaddrinfo (Name or service not known)
Error: protocol security negotiation failure

The old-style option -no-nego might be part of the problem - it is best to only use old-style arguments or new-style, not both. I suggest that you retry with the new style -nego and see if you get different results. You might also try adding one of the /sec:foo options, where foo is rdp or tls or nla to explicitly choose the correct protocol security layer.

I have same problem. Doesn't work.

xfreerdp /v:servername:port /u:username

[srmcatee1110]

I also tried:

xfreerdp /v:servername:port /u:username /sec:rdp

When I use remmina it works and I get in fine. So what are we missing?

@srmcatee1110 @alizafzali did you try using /v:servername as last argument?

[bmiklautz]

@srmcatee1110 @alizafzali btw what does xfreerdp --version say?

[srmcatee1110]

I tried as the last argument. No luck.

Our version is 1.0.2

[bmiklautz]

@srmcatee1110 in case of 1.0.2 the "old" command line needs to be used. That would be something like xfreerdp -u username servername:port - server name and port must be the last argument.

[srmcatee1110]

That worked. Thanks.

Brew still use 1.0.2 version in 2017...
xfreerdp +clipboard /size:1280x1024 /u:Administrator /p:'test' /v:10.1.2.3
How can I write this in old style command? @bmiklautz

@adamziaja give --HEAD a try with brew.
