I'm runnign a RHEL server on an EC2 AWS instance.
I have XRDP installed.
Whenever I try to login, login is successfull but immidiately my XRDP screen closes. It only displays a remote desktop screen when connecting with new users.
Root and existing ec2-user accounts fail when connecting.
What are the most common causes of this?
All necessary ports are allowed.

I would check to make sure that the existing users are not missing membership in any of the groups that are required by xrdp. You can figure out if this is the case by comparing user and group memberships.
groups | grep username for each user and not the differences.
root by its nature should not list any, if it does should only list root.
Also, root should not have a xsession to connect to. But this could also explain the issue with the other existing user.
So check that the other user/users do. The ones that work obviously do so you only need to check their groups for comparison.

Thank you but what group memberships should users have? Is it somewhere on xrdp documentation? Can't seem to find it. I'm not finding any differences between users.

created group tsusers and added my users. Issue remains. I'm instantly kicked out when authenticating. Any other reason that could contribute?

itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/… I don't know what the issue is, possibly the session type, it should be Xvnc. You can delete that empty group as well.

The issue is that the users that work have something that the prexising ones don't. Whether that be a proticuler desktop enviroment, config files, or whatever. Find the differences, you get your answer.
