Re: SSO with xrdp

I had the opportunity to play with this setup for a few minutes this morning.

** Disclaimer:  I am not an Ubuntu, xrdp, gnome, kde expert (however, I'm quite curious).

 

Basically what I did was to follow the steps outlined on this youtube video.   I got it working to the point that I can successfully log in.  My desktop won't start, but I figured that I should only try to make authentication work.

 

Here's the information about the system:

The xrdp-sesman PAM config files includes common-auth, just like you have it outlined. 

After installing and rebooting, I first tested with a local user and all was fine.  Then I tested with an AD user.  Here is the sequence:

1. From my RDP session on my Windows system, I typed in the username/password for the AD user in question (dwirth)
note that this user is not in /etc/passwd, it is an AD user (see adquery user above)

2. Then this window pops-up, and provides a sequence on the back-end:

3.  I assume that if my system was configured correctly (which I didn't) the gnome, kde or any other desktop would have been launched correctly.  I just get the cursor to play with and a grey/black screen.

Note:  This setup needs the vncserver to run, so you also have to make sure that you have it working with PAM as well as your chosen desktop.

 

I can confirm that as xrdp-sesman goes, all is well with Centrify by looking at the auth.log:

There you have it.

 

Since there's no bug, I suggest that you tail subscribe to the /var/log/auth.log and look at the sequences.
