xrdp – Login Failed for Display 0

centosremote desktopx-windows

I have just installed xrdp on my CentOs 7 following the steps in this article but could get as far as inputing my user name and password.

Here's a screenshot of the error that I get after trying to log in:

The xrdp-sesman.log file says:

[20161107-20:51:39] [INFO ] listening to port 3350 on 127.0.0.1

[20161107-20:51:56] [INFO ] A connection received from: 127.0.0.1 port 41103

[20161107-20:51:57] [DEBUG] Closed socket 8 (AF_INET 127.0.0.1:3350)

and nothing else. I have no idea how to debug this.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

It is likely that you did not set the username/password correctly.

The session manager tries to use your username/password to unlock the screen. When the username/password are incorrect you get the login failed for display 0 message.

The solution was to open the port on the firewall of the guest OS, as described here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables

The Network settings in Virtualbox was OK - Bridged Network is the correct setting.

Networking – Block port 111 on centos 7

You are a little wrong with iptables command. Try this:

iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 111 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s 127.0.0.1 --dport 111 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 111 -j DROP

This will allow connections to port 111 from localhost (127.0.0.1) and from network 192.168.0.0. All other connections will be dropped.
Note, your warning recommends to block UDP, not TCP. I replaced protocol in example.
