You need to change in both sesmain.in and sesman.ini the field MaxSessions to a greater number than you already have. It seems that some sessions are not set freed in a proper way.Both files are in /etc/xrdp. You would need sudo privileges to edit them.

I hope my solution and case will help somebody. Namely, I ran into this issue when I tried to get GUI for Kali on Windows 10 WSL2. Remote Desktop application was not able to connect with WSL2 Kali through RDP. In /var/log/xrdp.log I had entries:

Then I checked /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log and found that there were almost no entries for any sessions that were attempted!I figured out that port 3350 was used by Ubuntu WSL2 (not Kali WSL2) that I had. Changing the port from ListenPort=3350 to ListenPort=3349 in /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini resolved the issue for me.Here is the part of /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini where I changed ListenPort:

Edit: I did check the sesman.ini and it does still have the allow root login = true, I've also tried a non-root user it fails. I removed xrdp and re-installed it but no success. I removed the directory I was doing openssl in to rule that out and restarted the xrdp process numerous times after each of those steps without success. I also disabled all repos I added before leaving it with the default ones and epel only.

Edit2: I think I know what happened but I'm not 100% certain how it occurred or how to fix it. I was trying to do ECDSA certs with SHA512, and I don't know how or why but I'm guessing maybe it overwrote the /etc/shadow to use sha512 which may be the reason xrdp won't authenticate?

Edit3: I deleted the VM entirely, re-installed, re-enabled FIPS, re-installed xrdp but the issue remains. It's as bare as it can be, the only thing done was enabling FIPS mode, install xrdp, permit the port in the firewall and reloading the firewall.
