Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.6.0
Reporter: Melvin Schmidt
Hello,
We are using Linux debian 11 with FreeRDP verison: 2.3.0+dfsg1-2+deb11u3
After upgrading to Apache Guacamole version 1.6.0, we are no longer able to
establish RDP connections. Upon attempting to connect to a remote PC, the
connection fails and the following log messages appears:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To address the error regarding the missing home directory, we manually created
the /var/lib/guacd directory and assigned ownership to the guacd user using
chown. This resolved the specific warning about FreeRDP initialization, and
that message no longer appears.
However, despite this change, the RDP connection still does not work. There is
no visible error message on the frontend, but the session fails to launch.
Please advise on what might be causing this issue or whether there are any
known regressions in version 1.6.0 related to RDP.
Thank you in advance.
