LogMeIn - credential repository does not autologin
Just discovered that RDM 6 was released and grabbed it right away...awesome stuff! Love the LastPass integration and the LogMeIn autologin options among several of the new features! Now I just have to get the funding to pay for the upgrade since my licenses are too old to upgrade for free! Pricing sure has gone up since I purchased (maintenance costs about as much as the original purchase price), but plenty of new features have come along for sure.
Anyway, with the new LogMeIn auto login, it appears that there are three (possibly related) issues that I'm seeing:
a.) When I check the "auto fill login" box, it is always unchecked after saving and reopening the settings box.
b.) Regardless of that checkbox, if I manually enter credentials in in the text boxes (it doesn't let me enter a domain, but after the first login LogMeIn seems to remember the last-used domain which is nearly always correct in the future), it auto fills the login box immediately upon connection. If it fails (bad user/password/domain), it tries again over and over until LogMeIn quickly locks out the IP from access temporarily due to too many invalid tries. It shouldn't even be logging in automatically if the auto fill login checkbox isn't checked but it alway does. I assume the little password icon to the left of the URL bar is supposed to be used to trigger the login from the saved credentials if auto fill login is not checked? It doesn't seem to do anything for me at all when clicked.
c.) If I select a Credential Repository for a LogMeIn connection, I would expect the login (automatic or not) to use the saved credentials from the repository. However, the credential repository seems to be completely ignored and if I leave the username/password fields blank, no login is performed (even clicking the password/keys button above), but if I manually fill out credentials in those boxes they are used, ignoring the credential repository. I have connections where I have both LogMeIn and RDP connections set up for the same server (or multiple servers for the several servers with the same credentials) and it would be extremely handy to be able to set the credential repository once and use it for RDP and LogMeIn connections. I assume this is a bug (and not a missing feature/feature request) since I can select a Credential Repository for a LogMeIn connection type in the GUI, even though it fails.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Can you send me a printscreen of your logmein login page, because there is something I don't understand, I don't have the login field, so maybe it's not the same html.

Hi,
For the locking problem, I just made a fix to avoid an infinite loop. I will update the binaries. You can download it here:

Attached. This is what comes up if I click a LMI shortcut in RDM where the Username and Password fields are empty (so it doesn't auto login). The third field is where I can select the domain to login to, just like at a Windows login prompt where there are username/password/domain fields, and it's a dropdown that shows the available domains (usually a single domain or the local computer name unless it's a larger environment with multiple domains available for login). Since I logged in as Adminstrator last time, it's still there, and the domain is correct as well since I picked it the last time I logged in (or the first time actually, it's remembered since).
Here's the relevant HTML from the login form behind the screenshot (I've inserted some newlines for (a little) readability but otherwise it's a copy/paste job):<div id="loginstuff"> <table width="90%"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="2"> Please enter your Windows username and password. <br> <br> </td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left"><label for="usr">User name</label> </td> <td><input id="usr" type="text" class="txt" name="username" value="" onkeypress="InterruptAutoLogin();" ></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left"><label for="pwd">Password</label> </td> <td><input id="pwd" type="password" autocomplete="off" class="txt" name="password" value="" onkeypress="InterruptAutoLogin();"> <span onclick="window.open('\logonhelp.html', '_blank', 'width=500, height=540, location=no, menubar=no, status=no, toolbar=no');"><img src="[url=https://nanc-server-2008-uagcrvuibe.app01-07.logmein.com/img/login_helpicon.png]img/login_helpicon.png[/url]" width="14" height="14" border="0" style="position: relative; top: 2px; cursor: pointer;" /></span> </td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left"><label for="dmn">Log on to</label> </td> <td> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--function domainSelected(item) { InterruptAutoLogin();if (item.options[item.selectedIndex].value == "OTHERIN=LIST") {window.location.replace("/?nodomainlist=1");}}//--></SCRIPT> <select id="dmn" class="txt" name="domain" onChange="domainSelected(this);"> <option value="NANC" selected >NANC (this computer)</option> <option value="OTHERIN=LIST">Other...</option> </select> </td> </tr> <!--This is needed for autoLogin--> <input type="hidden" name="savedCred" id="savedCred" value=""/> <tr><td></td> <td> <div id="autoLoginLoadingPanel" style="display:none;margin-left:-4px"> <img src="[url=https://nanc-server-2008-uagcrvuibe.app01-07.logmein.com/img/loader_small.gif]/img/loader_small.gif[/url]" height="14px" width="14px" style="vertical-align:middle"/> <span>Loading login options</span> </div> <div id="chkRemPassContainer" style="display:none;margin-left:-4px"> <input id="chkRemPass" type="checkbox" value="remPass" name="chkRemPass" style="vertical-align:middle;"/> <label for="chkRemPass">Save credentials</label> <span onclick="window.open('\credentialshelp.html', '_blank', 'width=350, height=300, location=no, menubar=no, status=no, toolbar=no');"><img src="[url=https://nanc-server-2008-uagcrvuibe.app01-07.logmein.com/img/login_helpicon.png]img/login_helpicon.png[/url]" width="14" height="14" border="0" style="position: relative; top: 2px; cursor: pointer;" /></span> </div> </td></tr> <!--End of autoLogin related code-->edited by DavidSzp on 3/7/2011

I will do some test and come back to you soon. Thank you
