keyboard language Problem

Post by gourdon »

Hello,

We have a problem to login in terminal server session. I have configured the Windows TS and the WTware correctly, but it seem that the keyboard configuration does not work fine.
When user enters his password, the keyboard is QWERTY, and of course there is an login error, then user enters his password a second time (keyboard is detected in french).
these keyboards are configured in french, but they does not work correctly.
I have send you the terminal log to your support address.
Thank you per advance.
Regards.

Right. You put "ask_password=on", so wtware makes first request with it's internal keyboard handling. We should add french keybourd set to wtware. Do you really need "ask_password=on" mode? This mode is for multiple servers farm with network load balancing only. You may remove "ask_password=on" line, then first password request will not appear.

Hello,

Thank you, for the answered.

Sorry, I mean what is not working properly is writing password
Well, yes i need ask_password=on, because this is a servers farm Windows Server 2008R2.
I could asked the users that they change these password, but i prefer wait that you found a linux solution.

Another problem : The terminal session does not close at the end of the configured time ?
Our GPO is configure to close the session at 3 hour without activity, but it not work.
The session is open all the time !

Thank you by advance for your answered.

I heard about this problem, but noone investigated it. We are unable to reproduce it at our testing stands.

Timeouts less than a hour will work, right?

Please, download and run this:
http://pxe.ru/files/testing/201403060359.zip
Specify in config file:

Code: Select all

user=--new--
ask_password=on
language=fr,default
Boot wtware. Move mouse to the right bottom corner to be sure that 5.1.59 version really booted.
wtware should display two fields for user and password.
Try to type letters in user line and look what it displays.
Does it looks like french layout?
This build will print lines in log for every key you press.
Tell me please, which letters for user/password keys displayed incorrectly and show me log lines for those keys.

Ups. I found one bug.

Please, put the line

Code: Select all

language=fr,default
in the very beginning of the config file.

You should get blue square with FR letters in right bottom corner.

You did not see it, but keyboard works as AZERTY instead of QWERTY? Funny. Please, boot up the terminal, press left top key (q in qwerty, a in azerty) and send me whole log to aka@pxe.ru

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm having the same issue with a German keyboard - the sequence is QWERTUIOPÜ.


The setting "keyboard = de" does the trick once in the RDP session - it's before the RDP session gets established that we run into problems. Users will be unable to input their passwords if they contain any characters with keyboard positions different to the underlying US English keyboard.

The setting is "language=de,default" and a "DE" shows at the right lower corner.
Typing the letter Z in the username still shows a Y.

Please help!

Regards,
Ralf.

Hi,

we have a similar problem with our german keyboards.
The Y and Z keys are mapped correct for password input.

But the # key inputs a \ and the ' key inputs a |
All other special cahrs work quite well (@, ö, ä, ü, !,...).

The first two lines of our config files are:
keyboard = de
language = de,default

What can I do?

Best regards,
Peter
