I am running a fresh install of centos 7 gnome
so I could rdp from windows I followed the following instructions
but when I connect I get an additional login that says

authentication is required to create a color profile

How do I remove this additional login?

In an attempt to solve this problem I tried a solution here but it did not work. because link is a lot more then just a solution to this problem I pasted the solution below.

When you login into your system via remote session, you will see this
message popping up. You can simply cancel and you will be able to
proceed till the next time you login and start a new session.

To avoid this prompt, we will need to change the polkit configuration.
Using admin privileges, create a file called 02-allow-colord.conf
under the following directory /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/

The file should contains the following instructions and you should not
be prompted anymore with such authentication request while remoting
into your system

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if ((action.id ==

“org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device” || action.id ==

“org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-profile” || action.id ==

“org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-device” || action.id ==

“org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-profile” || action.id ==

“org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-device” || action.id ==

“org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-profile”) &&

subject.isInGroup(“{group}”)) { return polkit.Result.YES; } });

I found this bug and some workarounds here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1149893

More specific you have to place a .rules file in

/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/

(Select a filename and just givr the .rules extension)

and give the rules:

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {

   if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device" ||

        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-profile" ||

        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-device" ||

        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-profile" ||

        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-device" ||

        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-profile") &&

       subject.isInGroup("ATTENTION")) {

      return polkit.Result.YES;

   }

});

Then you have to Replace the word "ATTENTION" with your user's group.

Just giving the info as a start... Hope that helps, but feel free to ask me to delete.

I had the same problem and found a different work-around here:

https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/47#issuecomment-412005377

This variant is claimed to work independent of authentication scheme (e.g. LDAP).

Create /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/color.pkla (note: .pkla extension is required) with the following contents:

[Allow colord for all users]

Identity=unix-user:*

Action=org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device;org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-profile;org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-device;org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-profile;org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-device;org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-profile

ResultAny=yes

ResultInactive=yes

ResultActive=yes

Worked for me.
