FreeRDP: SSL_Read: Failure in SSL library (protocol error?) on Win2k8 hosts

Getting the following when connecting to Windows 2008 server with NLA enabled:

SSL_read: Failure in SSL library (protocol error?)
Authentication failure, check credentials.
If credentials are valid, the NTLMSSP implementation may be to blame.

Works fine against our Windows 2003 systems. Using version 1.0.1 – not sure where to begin troubleshooting.

got same error with 1.0.1 version. No need for parameter, just add server at the end.

fail example: /usr/local/bin/xfreerdp 127.0.0.1:123 -u yurii

success example: /usr/local/bin/xfreerdp -u yurii 127.0.0.1:123

Workaround is to use: –sec rdp parameter
