[Michael Plotkin <plotkin@xxxxxxx>]

Hello, I am also affected by this bug - cannot login using any and all XDMCP clients that I know of into my server running Ubuntu 14.04. I am reluctant to switch to lightdm from gdm for a variety of reasons. I also would like to understand how active this bug is. It seems to me that if it's a "real" bug it should affect quite a lot of people - not just 2 of us. Or are we doing something wrong in the sense of not configuring something correctly. 
Thank you,
Michael.

Title:
  xdmcp server ubuntu 14.04  login error

Status in gdm package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.

   apt-cache policy xdm
  xdm:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 1:1.1.11-1ubuntu1
    Version table:
       1:1.1.11-1ubuntu1 0
