[James Anderson <1421325@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Further experimentation resulted in a workaround.
I switched from GDM to LIGHTDM
Configured lightdm the same as for Ubuntu 12.04
XDMCP works as documented.
I can now login to the server from any thin client terminal.

** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => In Progress

** Description changed:

- xdmcp server ubuntu 14.04 LTS 
+ xdmcp server ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Client side displays server log in screen correctly, however when a user name is selected or manually entered the server will not accept any password, displays authentication error and returns to main log in screen
  
  I believe it is a configuration file issue on the server side, not sure which configuration file though.
  I have tried remmina and xepher from a client Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with same results.
