User does not exist and VNC password failed

[proJM-Coding]

Hello! I am struggling with getting xrdp working for my server with Rocky Linux 9. I get the error User does not exist, or could not be authenticated but the user does 100% exist on my system. Here are the logs:

~/.xsession-errors:

Environment variable $XAUTHORITY not set, ignoring.

I tried making a new user and connecting to that and gave me VNC password failed. The logs for that are here:

I installed XRDP by following the guide https://docs.rockylinux.org/desktop/gnome/rdp-server/. Thank you!

Are you running FIPS?

[2024-10-02T18:41:00.745+0930] [ERROR] DES-EDE3-CBC: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

See #2518

Yes, I am running FIPS. Thanks for the comment I followed this workaround which works perfectly now.
