Credentials dialog not passing password

Hi Brian,
I remember that we've made a fix for that in the current beta. Would you mind to give it a try? You could also wait tomorrow for RDM 10.1.0.0.

We will investigate if it still an issue.

Loaded RDM 10.1.0.0 and behavior is still the same.
Thanks
Brian

Could you try to change one settings:

File->Options | Type-> RDP

Allow Remote Connection to handle empty password

That setting was already checked. I unchecked, tried it and same thing. Put it back to checked. It acts the same if I put in the correct password on the initial RDM Credentials dialog or if I enter in the wrong password. Doesn't seem to be passing the password to the server. Is there a way to just disable the RDM Credentials dialog box and just have the Windows server credentials box pop up?

What Windows Server is it? The setting you uncheck was supposed to let Windows handle the security. I will double check on my side if it's handled correctly with the Open prompt for parameter.

Hi,
I can reproduce the problem and I will add an option to let Windows handle the security

Just reply to this thread when the fix gets put in place.
Thanks for the great support!
Brian

This is in RDM 10.1 with the patch. This means that you haven't installed it you can do it right now.

I have 10.1.0.0 installed. If I go to File>Options>Types>RDP I have "Allow remote connection to handle empty password" checked. When I connect with the prompt for credentials options I still get the RDM credentials dialog box before the windows security box. Am I not understanding your explanation? Is there another option somewhere in 10.1.0.0 that turns off the RDM credentials dialog box from appearing so that the first dialog box I see is the windows security credentials box?
Thanks,
Brian

Just make sure that the setting allow connection to handle empty password is checked in File->Options | Type -> RDP

This setting is checked. It does not prevent the RDM credentials box from popping up and the only way to continue is to enter a username and password. The password does not get passed so I end up having to enter the password again on the Windows credentials box that pops up next. I hope I am being clear but what does having that setting checked change for me? It still acts the same way and I have to enter the password twice.

You seems to have done the right thing. Could you export me your configuration in File->Options. You can exclude the data source. I want to compare with mine.

Thanks David,
Here is the configuration file.

On another note. I had to uninstall version 10 and drop back to version 9. The other problem I found was with the status flag for each site. We use the flags and session status messages to let members of the team know what is currently going on or if one of us is working on a site. I found that if I would have several sites open (like more than 6) as I logged out of the site it would clear the status flag automatically. This would not happen all the time and it took me awhile to catch as I kept thinking I had changed the flag and entered in a message for that site but I would look back and it would be cleared and back to normal. I finally saw the flag disappear automatically when I logged out of a site. I loaded version 9 back on and have not had the credentials problem (because I go directly to the windows credentials screen) and the flags and messages are not being deleted. If it makes any difference the flags were changed and then cleared under the local favorites tab. That is usually where I throw the sites I am working on and edit everything under that tab.

Which status do you use? Is is locked?

Could you post a print screen of the button you were using to use the prompt for credentials? Are you sure that those settings were checked?

Hi David,
I hope this helps. See the attached picture. I will tag the warning flag to the site and sometimes add my initials or change the status message to something applicable. Then in the RDP list you will see the Site Name [Warning]. I was having problems with this warning message / status being cleared and going back to default with just Site Name.
Thanks,
Brian

Also after looking at your attached picture I am not sure I had the option "Let host handle the credentials with "Open prompt for credentials" I did not see this option under Advanced so that might have been my mistake. Sounds like if that prevents the RDM from opening up the credentials dialog box that that would fix having to enter the password twice.
