Xpra: Ticket #1038: windows client passing wrong username

It seems that the windows client v 0.15.8 (revision 11210) is passing the wrong username to the server.

the following is from the server side log when the client is attempting to connect with username 'keith'

Python/Gtk2 Microsoft Windows 7 client version 0.15.8 connected from 'moat-host' as 'klee' ('klee')

Attached is a screenshot of the client (IP address removed) and the full log of the connection attempt.

I'm willing to accept that this is not an actual issue, since the log continues with issues regarding parsing the screen size.

@ascending8 what is your server version and OS?

Looks like your server is out of date, this bug has been fixed a long time ago.

The username used for the SSH tunnel is probably the right one, just not the one that is showed afterwards...

@ascending8 what is your server version and OS?

The server is from the Debian8 (Jessie) repo. v0.14.10

The username used for the SSH tunnel is probably the right one, just not the one that is showed afterwards...

understood, I guess my actual problem is the handling of the Screen resolution ticket #697 I'm marking this one as invalid. Keith

v0.14.10


Ouch, FYI there are serious security issues in this unsupported version, see wiki/Packaging (and that's even missing the biggest ones because they came after that page was last edited)

I've upgraded to 0.15.8-3, server side as per the instruction at http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=jessie

That helps alot! ;) <mutters about Debian standard repos being a-bit-behind>
