Hi,

Are you expecting smartcard authentication with the gateway (not the target server behind the server)? Gateway smartcard authentication is currently unsupported. As for authentication with the target server behind the gateway, smartcard authentication should work, but it is currently unsupported with NLA. You did the right thing by disabling NLA.

Here are possible cases where failure is expected:

1) If the gateway expects smartcard authentication, as this is unsupported.

2) If the target server behind the gateway expects NLA. NLA + smartcard is unsupported, but if the server expects NLA you won't get far by disabling it on the client.

Hi Robert,

Can you tell me if you are using a connection broker or a load balancer in your server environment?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am going to try and reproduce this issue locally with a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM. Which specific version of Dynamics NAV are you using (2013 R2, 32 or 64 bit, etc?)

Hi,

I am trying to reproduce the issue on my side. Can you tell me which *very* specific version of Windows Server 2003 are you using in that screenshot? By very specific, I mean I want to know 32-bit versus 64-bit, 2003 versus 2003 R2, and the service pack. Also, 2003 is special for supporting 24bpp but not 32bpp, with 24bpp being disabled by default by group policy. 24bpp is uncommon except for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, so we might be hitting a bug there. Did you configure your servers to allow 24bpp? If it's not a rendering bug, it might be a bug with the color depth negotiation, where the final color depth would not be properly propagated with the rendering library, causing the weird artifacts.

Hi,

Just a note: for the fix to work you need to be using the Hungarian keyboard layout on Mac OS X as well. The reason why the keys were inverted is because of an oddity of the Apple Hungarian keyboard: the hardware actually sends the keys inverted, and the Mac OS X Hungarian keyboard layout puts them back in the correct order. The Windows keyboard layout, however, expect those keys to be in the correct order from the start, so we need to detect this inversion and fix it on the client side before sending the keys to the remote machine. The only way this could be detected was to compare the resulting characters provided by OS X on those specific cases to detect the inverting of the keys in the case of the Hungarian keyboard layout, and proceed to fix the input.

Hi,

Thank you, we'll keep you posted once we receive the keyboard. I found the exact same keyboard you are using on eBay based on the picture you sent. Once I have the keyboard, it shouldn't take long to fix it.

Hi Peter,

I am the lead developer of the FreeRDP project, which is what Remote Desktop Manager uses for RDP support on Mac OS X. I understand your frustration.

You say that 75% of the time it crashes during session logging. This might be related to a known open issue in FreeRDP for connection broker support. Can you confirm or infirm the usage of a connection broker in your environment? Do you have anything configured that has to do with load balancing of sessions, or assigning users to specific machines?

Hi,

Can you elaborate on how exactly the French keyboard is not managed? Do you mean you cannot select the French keyboard, or that the French keyboard works, but only partially? Also, just to make sure, are you referring to the French Azerty keyboard?

Hi,

For the sake of fixing this bug, please help me with the following:

Can you tell me which keyboard layout are you using normally on Windows? I see there exists two possible Hungarian keyboard layouts:

Hungarian 0x0000040E

Hungarian (101-key) 0x0001040E

Notice these are two separate keyboard layouts with different keyboard layout ids. You can use the following page as reference:

Second, can you point me to keyboard models on amazon or ebay (or the apple website in your case) that you know for sure are of the same type as the keyboard you are using?

I can easily understand why the hungarian keyboard could cause issues, but so far the only way I could think of to fix this problem would be to buy a hungarian keyboard, use the same keyboard layout as you, reproduce the issue with a known test case and then fix it.
