Bug#1105161: freerdp3-x11: freerdp3 needlessly prompts for domain even when it is already provided by param /u

[akallabeth+debian]

Hi,

this is not a bug but a feature.



domain\user@otherdomain

and that will work.
FreeRDP2 did not properly parse that and you rely on that behavior.



For your usecase, just do

xfreerdp3 /u:user@domain /d: /v:rdp.example.com

and it will only prompt for password.

Microsoft uses both kinds of syntax in combination, so you could also have to enter FreeRDP3 correctly parses that and does not touch user@otherdomain and lets the remote handle that. On Mon, 12 May 2025 16:40:05 +0200 Elias Batek <e.batek+deb...@itkaufmann.at> wrote:

Dear Maintainer,

When I provide the domain to FreeRDP 3 through the username parameter `/u` 
(e.g. `/u:u...@domain.tld`), it needlessly prompts for a domain (on the 
command-line).
Luckily, this prompt can be confirmed with no input and FreeRDP will use the 
domain provided by the username.

FreeRDP 2 doesn’t exhibit this behavior.

Example:

```
xfreerdp3 /u:administra...@example.com /v:rdp.example.com
```

Further findings:
Providing a password through parameter `/p` seems to suppress the domain prompt.
