With 2003 server i need to enter a password after aknowledging the dialog that tells that the password is incorrect. Testing against windows 2008 works as expected.
In november/december there were a few reports about reconnecting to a rdp session being fronted with a black screen, end user had to end existing session before connection. After a few test it shows that the black screen disappears after 5-10 seconds and a logging screen is presented to the end user. This indicates there is a problem with pending resize and using the cookie for reconnect. Before holidays i tested out 4.0.0, 4.1.0, 4.1.1 and all suffered from the same behavior, this is not a regression in ThinLinc and indicates that something has changed. The customer did some investigation and couldn't find the terminal license server that was used, probably this was gone with some server in the novell to AD migration. Anyway, customer have configured a new license server with new fresh licenses and they should retest and see if the main problem persist.
I was able to trig this error when running Windows 2003R2 and SSL, worked all good with plain RDP. This is fixed in upstream commit r1787. There were also another problem introduced in commit r1766 that was fixed in r1786.
Fixed in vendordrop 28387
I have retested the latest changes at customer site, it's still a problem with 2003r2 using plain RDP. The difference between in my test setup and the customers setup is that the customer is using temporary licenses while in my setup I used per-device licenses.

Upstream commit r1789 implements handling of data PDU TS_AUTORECONNECT_STATUS_PDU which is a error sent by server. This error indicates that auto-reconnect using ARC_CS_PRIVATE_PACKET (auto-reconnect cookie) sent from client failed. And the result is that the logon dialog is displayed.

To clarify the problem at the customers site, problem appears using 2003r2 and plain RDP but with 2008r2 servers using SSL auto reconnect works as expected.

Clarification, in my setup i have _temporary_ per-device licenses and at customers site there are _temporary_ per-user licenses.
Reinstalled a Windows 2003r2 Server, freshly update. Enabled remote desktop service (Not using a server role). Tried to reproduce the problem but failed.

I can't seem to be reproducing this issue at all, we need to consider that the servers at customers are broken in any way. In this case the customer has uninstalled the Novell klient and migrated the servers into a new AD. There might be stuff left playing us a trick on this bug.
2008R2 and 2012R2 tested on bug 4847. Also tested 2003R2 from SLED11 now. Works fine.
