I want to use rdesktop to establish RDP connection with a Windows 2008R2 server. The server started enabling Network Level Authentication (NLA).
By default, the rdesktop which comes with Ubuntu 13.10 (v1.7.1) doesn’t have NLA support. I ended up installing rdesktop 1.8.1 from pmjdebruijn ppa.
My host is not on W2008 server LAN so, according some tutoriales, i need to install and configure the Kerberos client, and then establish a Kerberos ticket for my user with kinit <user>.
That is what i have tried to do:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install krb5-user
After i answered the package configuration questions my /etc/krb5.conf file appears like:
Code:
[libdefaults]
default_realm = SERVER-NAME
...
[realms]
SERVER-NAME = }
kdc = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
admin_server = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
}
Where SERVER-NAME is the W2008 server name and XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX his public IP. I tried to replace the server name with the server work-group without success (the W2008 is not a domain controller and is not inside other domain).
When i try:
I get:
Code:
kinit: Cannot resolve servers for KDC in realm "SERVER-NAME" while getting initial credentials
Is there somebody who can help me ?
Thanks.
