Confirmed bug is present in noble but not in jammy. Hence, marking jammy
as invalid.
I confirmed by setting up a noble and jammy Vitrual Box VM that had
Remmina installed. I setup a profile with credentials to RDP into an
Rasperry Pi on my local network and checked if I got a prompt when
trying to connect to the Pi.
** Changed in: remmina (Ubuntu Jammy)
Status: Incomplete => Invalid
** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ Remmina 1.4.35 prompts for RDP credentials even they are saved. It shows the
credentials disalog prefilled with the username and password.
+ The expected behavior for Remmina is to proceed with the connection without
prompting user for their credentials.
+ Users generally use connection profiles with saved credentials to make the
tool more convenient to use.
+ However, this bug requires a redundant click before establishing connection.
+ The additional prompt with filled credentials may also confuse users that the
connection failed due to incorrect credentials resulting in a prompt for
updated credentials.
+
+ Upstream issue: https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/issues/3111
+ Merge request: https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/merge_requests/2592/diffs
+
+ The patch short-circuits the part of the authentication flow where the
+ credentials are requested from the user, if they are already available.
+ The patch is simple and small in size. Overall, seems like a safe change
+ to SRU.
+
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ * Setup a new connection profile by clicking on the "+" on the top left
corner after starting Remmina.
+ * Fill server address, username and password. Make sure protocol selected is
RDP.
+ * Save the profile.
+ * Attempt connection by double clicking on the saved profile or clicking
connect from the right-click context menu on the profile.
+ * Remmina should not produce a prompt with filled Username and Password
fields, and instead should directly establish an RDP session with the server.
+
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ * Remmina may fail to authenticate RDP sessions using saved profiles with
correct credentials due to an unexpected regression from the patch. The test
plan will catch this regression.
+ * Another unlikely regression is that other config values in the profile are
not correctly propagated when establishing a RDP session. A fuzzy test around
setting some config values when creating the profile and ensuring a RDP session
using that profile behaves as expected should cover this.

+ [Original Report]
+
Remmina 1.4.35 prompts for RDP credentials even when they are saved. It
shows the credentials dialog prefilled with the username and password.
This behavior is observed only when using RDP or TLS security protocol
negotiation. NLA is not affected.
The expected behavior for Remmina is to proceed with the connection
without prompting user for their credentials.
This issue was fixed upstream in version 1.4.36
Patch for this fix is attached.
