With version 7.1.0 VirtualBox changed the default behavior of RDP encryption if a user hasn't created own certificates.

See the VirtualBox changelog:

VirtualBox 7.1.0 (released September 09 2024)
VRDE: If user does not set up TLS with custom certificates, enable it with self-signed certificate, including issuing a new one before the old one expires

Old default:
VirtualBox used hard wired internal certificates or even no encryption.

Since the self-signed certificates are not known by the host the first RDP connection to a VM starts with a warning like this (provided by a volunteer from LHC@home):
Certificate-RDP

The VirtualBox manual gives a hint how the old behavior can be enabled:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/topics/remotevm.html#vrde-crypt

Vboxwrapper should configure VMs using standard RDP instead of TLS to avoid the warning message being presented for each fresh VM.

@AenBleidd AenBleidd added this to the vboxwrapper v26208 milestone Sep 30, 2024
