Remote Access requiring SRD not offering SRP
Hi, I have been trialing Wayk Now Enterprise Version3.0.3 and successfully connected to remote computers using SRP , but randomly the connection on one computer is wanting SRD authentication, and not offering any other options in the drop down box.
I have checked all settings and can find no answer.
The bookmarks all show SRP Auto login in the Credentials list,
I managed randomly yesterday to modify / repair the installation to Login with SRP, but today it will only offer the SRD login (I don't have windows login passwords on any of my computers)
I have looked at version 3.1 but it required 3 fields, Name, Target ID & unique identifier (wasn't sure what was required in the unique identifier field)
Any ideas???
- Thanx!!!

Hello,
I've transferred your topic to the Wayk Now Support forum, the Team should be able to answer your question!

Hi,
SRP authentication is only available when a user is currently logged in with the Wayk Now program running (the main window with the SRP password shown). Unattended access required SRD authentication, which can be done using a regular Windows account, as described in this other thread:
https://forum.devolutions.net/topic30868-wayk-and-rdm-for-ios.aspx#post123951
However, since you don't have a Windows account on the target machines, I understand why SRD with a Windows account is not suitable. We did come up with a solution in 3.0.2 where the .msi installer can create a special "wayk-admin" account authorized for Wayk Now remote connections, but that won't show up as a regular Windows account. The goal was to provide an account administrators could use for Wayk Now without having to regular a complete user account on the system.
The current way to create and set the password for the wayk-admin account is through a .msi installer option. We have a task to expose the functionality through the user interface after Wayk Now has been installed, but we didn't get a chance to work on it yet. For now, open an elevated command-prompt, and launch the .msi installation like this:
msiexec /i WaykNow-x64-3.1.0.0.msi WAYK_ADMIN_PASS=YourStrongPassword123!
If you wish to perform a silent installation with logs, it can be done like this:
msiexec /i WaykNow-x64-3.1.0.0.msi WAYK_ADMIN_PASS=YourStrongPassword123! /qn /log log.txt
Once this is done, you can create a bookmark entry with SRD credentials for the "wayk-admin" account and the associated password.
As for the unique id in the bookmark, it is an optional feature introduced in 3.1.0. Since the 6-digit ID can sometimes change, a longer, more permanent unique id can be obtained to find the target machine even if the 6-digit ID has changed. This unique id is much longer and can be obtained in the About box of Wayk Now.
