Hello,

using the current rdesktop 1.8.3, we experience problems when 
connection to a load balanced RDP cluster (Windows Server 2008 R2).

The login is working successfully when no redirection happens, i.e.
the DNS round robin returns the IP of the server where the current
session is active.

When rdesktop displays the message that the connection is redirected,
the user is thrown back to the login screen:

$ rdesktop  server 
Autoselected keyboard map de
[...]
Connection established using SSL.
Redirected to user@serverip session -631381426.

-> back to login screen

The behaviour is the same with password and smartcard login.

Is this a known problem?

Kind regards,
Martin Oehler
