FreeRDP aborts if OpenSSL operates in FIPS mode and +fipsmode is not
manually specified. Let's prevent the abortion and enable the necessary
options in that case automatically.
This option will ensure that NLA is disabled(since NTLM uses weak crypto algorithms), FIPS
encryption is enabled, and ensure fips mode is enabled for openssl.
Selectively override specific uses of MD5/RC4 with new API calls specifically tailored to override FIPS.
Add comments on why overriding the use of these algorithms under FIPS is acceptable for the locations where overrides happen.
Remove check of server proprietary certificate which was already being ignore to avoid use of MD5.
Initialize winpr openssl earlier to ensure fips mode is set before starting using any crypto algorithms.
Add the sshagent plugin to forward the ssh-agent protocol over an RDP
dynamic virtual channel, just as the normal ssh-agent forwards it over
an SSH channel. Add the "/ssh-agent" command line option to enable it.
Usage:
Run FreeRDP with the ssh-agent plugin enabled:
xfreerdp /ssh-agent ...
In the remote desktop session run xrdp-ssh-agent and evaluate the output
in the shell as for ssh-agent to set the required environment variables
(specifically $SSH_AUTH_SOCK):
eval "$(xrdp-ssh-agent -s)"
This is the same as for the normal ssh-agent. You would typically do
this in your Xsession or /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh.
Limitations:
1. Error checking and handling could be improved.
2. This is only tested on Linux and will only work on systems where
clients talk to the ssh-agent via Unix domain sockets. It won't
currently work on Windows but it could be ported.
the objective is that only the updated region(s) are refreshed instead of the whole screen
it's not much a problem for normal FreeRDP usage but becomes a serious issue if the display is processed, forwarded and rendered remotely, as done by web gateways such as Guacamole, FreeRDP-WebConnect and Myrtille (I'm the author of the latter)
Added some checks so that when setting a cache entry fails, we close connection (or
we fail later when trying to use that empty entry).
The small cache egfx capability has also been fixed.
When building packages, especially when source packages are used, git is
not necessarily available or the source isn't provided in git. In those
cases it wasn't possible to set the GIT_REVISION and --version shows
"n/a" for the git revision.
If the file .source_version is available now the content of it is used
as GIT_REVISION. Packagers might want to add a .source_version file
when they don't build the packages from git.
Possible breaking change:
The variable PRODUCT_VERSION isn't available anymore. Use GIT_REVISION
instead.
