Need Help Adding Domain for RDP Connection in KRDC in Plasma 6

Help
1

Hi, wonderful community!

I’m having trouble connecting to a Windows machine using RDP with KRDC, and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve installed both FreeRDP and FreeRDP2. While I can successfully connect using xfreerdp and Remmina, I can’t seem to do so with KRDC.

When I check the logs, the only error I see is: “Unable to login with the provided credentials. Please double-check the username and password.” I encounter this same error with xfreerdp if I don’t include /d:MYDOMAIN, but I can’t find a way to add the domain in KRDC.

Here’s what I’ve tried in the KRDC connection string:

  • MYDOMAIN\myusername@HOST_IP
  • MYDOMAIN/myusername@HOST_IP
  • \MYDOMAIN\myusername@HOST_IP
  • ./MYDOMAIN/myusername@HOST_IP
  • MYDOMAIN.myusername@HOST_IP

I’ve also tried entering these in the user/password popup, but no luck so far. In earlier versions of KRDC, I could add the domain using the extended options, but now it seems those have been removed and replaced with options for proxy/gateways.

It’s probably just me missing something, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am using Plasma 6.1.4, KDE Frameworks: 6.5.0, Qt Version: 6.7.2, and Wayland. Opensuse Tumbleweed. I am trying to connect to Windows 11 machine.

Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out?
I am trying to login to a desktop that will not get through with any combination here either.
I switched to Remmina and am able to login however it is very unstable and crashes so I am back to hoping I can get KRDC to work.

EDIT:
forgot to mention that I could see the failed attempts on the windows machine and KRDC is basically not sending the domain across no matter what I do.
