RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Marek Kašík 2015-12-14 12:40:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
To be able to fix feature request from #1290449, we need to have newer FreeRDP available (at least 1.1). There is (*pVerifyChangedCertificate) callback defined in it which allows us to inform user about change of fingerprint of certificate of remote machine so that he can accept or reject the new certificate.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to remote Windows machine
2. Accept given certificate
3. Change fingerprint of the machine in ~/.freerdp/known_hosts to something else
4. Connect to the machine again


Actual results:
There is just a general connection error message


Expected results:
It asks user to accept or reject the changed certificate
Comment 1 Ondrej Holy 2016-01-07 08:28:00 UTC 
There is more bugs which will be fixed by the rebase. The problem is that freerdp-1.0 is latest official upstream stable release. Though there were 1.1 and 1.2 beta releases, but they have never been released as stable. Upstream told that current master (future 2.0) is most stable version ever, but release isn't scheduled yet...

Another problem might be that the public API was changed a lot since 1.0 version and also cmd syntax is different...

See some recent discussions on mailing list regarding to releases:
http://sourceforge.net/p/freerdp/mailman/message/34701893/
http://sourceforge.net/p/freerdp/mailman/message/34705731/
Comment 2 Ondrej Holy 2016-06-23 08:56:36 UTC 
Upstream wants to make API freeze around July and then they want to work towards 2.0-rc1, see: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/freerdp/mailman/message/35113671/

So let's reconsider this for rhel-7.4.

*** Bug 1417798 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 4 Ondrej Holy 2017-02-06 12:41:27 UTC 
Probably the latest info about the planned release can be found at:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/2839

However, it seems that there aren't any timelines yet...
Comment 5 Ondrej Holy 2017-07-28 09:14:04 UTC 
Good news is that 2.0.0-rc0 has been finally released:
http://www.freerdp.com/2017/07/24/2_0_0_rc0-released
Comment 6 Ondrej Holy 2017-08-08 13:42:13 UTC 
Let's move this in 7.6 since the stable release was not released yet...
Comment 7 Ondrej Holy 2018-03-14 10:01:32 UTC 
Freerdp master is slowly reaching rc2 and after that, it will be likely stable release. I don't think it will be in time for RHEL 7.6 unfortunately, but I RHEL 7.7 sounds feasible. We can't do much here before the new stable release.

Also, I don't think that it will be possible to just simply rebase due to API changes, but freerdp2 packages will have to be added alongside probably.
Comment 8 Ondrej Holy 2018-04-19 06:55:28 UTC 
rc2 is out, but one more release candidate (rc3) was announced before the final release:
http://www.freerdp.com/2018/04/11/2_0_0_rc2-released
Comment 9 Tomas Pelka 2018-04-20 09:02:25 UTC 
Due to planned work load for 7.6 I would like to push this to 7.7 if possible.
Comment 10 Michael DePaulo 2018-05-13 05:28:16 UTC 
1. Could you Red Hatters please make 1571842 public?

2. FreeRDP 2.0.0-dev prior to a 2018-03-20 cannot connect to Windows systems that have the patch for CVE-2018-0886 (CredSSP update) applied:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/4449

3. For RHEL6 & RHEL 7.5 systems, I have RPMs available here:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mikedep333/freerdp-backport/

I modified the RPM packaging of the Fedora 26/27/28 version of FreeRDP 2.0.0-dev from 2018-04-05 (including the fix for #2, shortly before 2.0.0rc2 was released) so that it would build on RHEL 7.5, and then adapted it even more for RHEL6.
You can view the RPM packaging here:
https://github.com/mikedep333/freerdp-rpm/tree/f28-to-el7
Vinagre had to be rebuilt/patched for it too:
https://github.com/mikedep333/vinagre-centos-rpm

I intend to update it when Fedora releases updates, but it's not automatic.

4. Reminder: I am a Fedora contributor but I cannot speak for Red Hat. Maybe they'll use this packaging, maybe they won't.
Comment 11 Ondrej Holy 2018-05-29 11:46:42 UTC 
We can't rebase before another official upstream release. 2.0-rc3 is almost ready, but still, there is long bug list, which needs to be resolved before 2.0. See:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/milestones

Let's postpone this to RHEL-7.7.

However, I will try to convince Fedora maintainers to provide EPEL package for it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1566251
Comment 12 Ondrej Holy 2018-05-29 11:51:40 UTC 
(In reply to Michael DePaulo from comment #10)
> 1. Could you Red Hatters please make 1571842 public?

I don't think we can make 1571842 public, but it is only internal bug tracker for the upcoming release, nothing interesting.

> 3. For RHEL6 & RHEL 7.5 systems, I have RPMs available here:
> https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mikedep333/freerdp-backport/

Thanks for the COPR repository, however, I think the better way would be to provide EPEL packages. Aren't you interested in it? See my previous comment.
Comment 17 Ondrej Holy 2018-11-12 10:18:15 UTC 
Just a note that 2.0.0-rc3 was released before some time and recently 2.0.0-rc4 milestone has been added and is expected to be out soon. There are still some issues which block 2.0.0 to be finally released.
Comment 19 Ondrej Holy 2019-02-23 08:20:57 UTC 
The rebase requires vinagre rebuild due to API/ABI changes, see 1680229. I am not going to provide the compat package at this point, because vinagre is only package which uses freerdp libraries and freerdp is not on ABI compatibility list. We can add the compat package later if needed.
Comment 20 Ondrej Holy 2019-02-23 08:21:32 UTC 
Just a note that kdenetwork-krdc depends on freerdp as well, but it just calls xfreerdp, so kdenetwork rebase is not needed. It seems it works correctly with the rebased version.
