FreeRDP Webconnect service doesn't start about freerdp-webconnect HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi, what port did you choose? Ports under 1024 require administrative permissions, which the FreeRDP-WebConnect user does not have for security reasons.

Hello umeshbhatt25.

Check the configuration file of FreeRDP-WebConnect
wsgate.ini

(1)
comment Set non-SSL listener port. If omitted, no listener will be started.
port = 80

Set HTTP Port as 80 if HTTP access will be used.

(2)
[ssl]
comment Set SSL listener port. If omitted, no SSL listener will be started.
port = 443

Set HTTPS Port as 443 if HTTPS access will be used.

comment Set bind address of non-SSL listener.
comment bindaddr = 127.0.0.1

comment Set bind address of SSL listener.

Set bindaddr as the IP address of Win 2012 R2 server, for example, bindaddr = 192.168.0.101, if

alexpilotti is right.

You need the administrative permissions to start FreeRDP-WebConnect server.

Hi,
After changing the port and adding bind address now service is starting.
Now I am trying to do rdp for Hyper-V VM but facing following issues:

1. While opening the url https://Web-connnect-server:8443/ it asks me the host credentials. I have provided Hyper-V vm credentials but it I don't see any thing in the browser. This I tried from chrome browser.
2. While trying to login from IE 11 browser, I am getting an error that the browser doesn't support HTML5 but I think IE 11 supported HTML5.
3. Also I want to see the remote console of VMs in Hyper-V server, for this I want to use VMID which is supported by freerdp.exe (also used by this freerdp-webconnect app) how can I use vmid to connect to VM?

Hi Umesh,

A few questions on your environment, to make sure we are aligned.

Did you install FreeRDP-WebConnect from source or using the Cloudbase installer?

In the former case, please note that we merged the code into this repository from our fork after you opened this issue.

Thanks

I found it working with default ports 80 and 443 but changing these to other ports stops it working.
But it is still not working from IE11, any idea what may be causing this?

Hi,
I downloaded the installers windows and Linux (Cent OS 6.4) from "http://freerdp.net/download.html".

Ah, ok. That's very old stuff. Please use:

http://www.cloudbase.it/freerdp-html5-proxy-windows/

We'll update the info on the page you found ASAP.

(1) FreeRDP-WebConnect ("http://freerdp.net/download.html", NOT provided by cloudbase) only works on default ports 80 and 443.

Unfortunately cloudbase's FreeRDP-WebConnect does not work for the command-line connection to Windows 7 from Ubuntu 12.04

xfreerdp -u username -p password remote-desktop-ip-address

will generate time-zone issue and connection fails.

It only works on the web-based remote desktop access.

Note that I download the source code from cloudbase's GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/cloudbase/FreeRDP
git clone https://github.com/cloudbase/FreeRDP-WebConnect

The same issue was also confirmed by a user in the issue #20.

cloudbase's FreeRDP-WebConnect needs to address the issue #20

Quote from the user pneumatic's comment
"As far as I remember, the Cloudbase fork is dedicated exclusively to connecting up to Hyper-V VM consoles - you cannot use it for connecting to regular non-Hyper V Windows devices. So it is pretty much useless outside of that context."

(2) IE11 does not support the full HTML5 features required by FreeRDP-WebConnect when I tested the latetest version in February 2014.

However, IE10 can support the full HTML5 features required by FreeRDP-WebConnect.

The following link will test HTML5 features of any web browser.

Referenced repositories are not correct. Right ones are:

git clone https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP.git
git clone https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP-WebConnect.git
