CentOS 7 image was installed with Gnome desktop to local server (on same LAN as the Windows computer I used to access it).
Neither machine uses a VPN.
etc/services says that port 3389 is being used for ms wbt server, which I assume is correct.
The Firewall Configuration marks 3389 as a public port with the TCP protocol.
xrdp was installed to CentOS server using this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFslyE_oaXc
When I attempt to make the connection from Remote Desktop Connection on my Windows machine to my remote CentOS desktop, I'm opened up a a window that says this:
When I click "ok" it sends me to the login screen for xrdp (session set to Xvnc). But when I try to log in, it just closes out of everything and shows the default Remote Desktop Connection menu.
I want to reiterate that xrdp is indeed active on my system (I checked the status to make sure it's running on port 3389/tcp too). Everything is up to date and all dependencies are installed as per the above video.
There's a similar post here (xrdp disconnects immediately after connection from Windows10/Centos to Centos7) but I don't seem to have a startwm.sh file nor do I have a .xsession-errors file anywhere in my system. All of the other solutions listed didn't do anything either.
There are a few other similar posts but they didn't get any responses that worked for my system.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
