LightDM (Arctica Greeter) Remote Logon: FreeRDP(2)

Configuration for LightDM / Arctica Greeter to launch remote FreeRDP sessions using FreeRDPv2.

This code project was originally started by Canonical Ltd. and has been adapted by various authors with the purpose of making Remote Logon against RDP servers via Arctica Greeter (formerly known as Unity Greeter) available on Ubuntu and non-Ubuntu systems alike.

Installation

See https://github.com/ArcticaProject/ArcticaDocs/tree/master/ArcticaGreeter

Configuration

For this Remote Logon Add-on to work, you have to populate

/etc/arctica-greeter/guest-session/skel/.config/freerdp/known_hosts2

with your RDP servers' host keys. Otherwise, logins will fail.

Alternatively, add the /cert-ignore option to the set of FREERDP2_OPTIONS in /etc/default/lightdm-remote-session-freerdp2.
