We have a company RDS (Remote Desktop Server) TSG (Terminal Services Gateway) server, which allows employees to connect to an RDS session from home, so they can see a work RDS desktop from home.
This works fine on their home computers using windows 7 with the following settings:
However, some users have Linux at home and are trying to use freerdp 1.2.0.
I've tested this on a laptop connected to the internal company LAN using the following command and it works fine:
$ xfreerdp /f /rfx /cert-ignore /v:farm.company.com /d:company.com /u:administrator /p:
However, if I try to use that command on a laptop, which is not using the company LAN connection, i.e. a home connection, I get this:
freerdp_set_last_error 0x2000C
Error: protocol security negotiation or connection failure
So I'm now trying to use some of the new TSG commands in freerdp 1.2.0 as follows, but that also doesn't work.
I can only see 4 TSG related commands:
/g:[:port] Gateway Hostname
/gu:[] or [@] Gateway username
/gp: Gateway password
/gd: Gateway domain
I read somewhere that I only really need to use


/g
in my particular scenario, I may have read that incorrectly.
So when I try:
$ xfreerdp /f /rfx /cert-ignore /v:farm.company.com /d:company.com /g:rds.company.com /u:administrator /p:
That will give me:
Could not open SAM file!
Could not open SAM file!
Could not open SAM file!
Could not open SAM file!

Considering the original command:
$ xfreerdp /f /rfx /cert-ignore /v:farm.company.com /d:company.com /u:administrator /p:
This works on a Linux laptop, which is connected to the network within the company LAN.
Why can't I use a similar command (with the extra TSG parameters) on the same Linux laptop, which is connected to the internet at home?
Am I not using the new TSG switches correctly?
