FreeRDP as one of the leading open-source / free software implementations of Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is out with a new release. While FreeRDP 3.17 is primarily focused on shipping bug fixes, there is one noteworthy addition: fullchain support.

FreeRDP 3.17 merges fullchain support for full X.509 chain support for the client and server. RDP fullchain support is for being able to establish a complete and trusted chain of authority back to a root CA for encryption and verifying an RDP server's identity while also presenting possible man-in-the-middle attacks.

Fullchain support is the most interesting aspect of FreeRDP 3.17 with the other changes this release being various bug-fixes. Downloads and more details on the FreeRDP 3.17 release via GitHub .
