I have the credentials setup for my RDP session. However they do not work. I think the issue is because our RDP sessions have a MOTD Security dialog box that has to be clicked before you get the login dialog box. Can someone direct me to a solution / link to assist me with automating the login process.
Hi,
I don't know what is the MOTD dialog box, but can you try the credential in embedded mode and external mode? Do you use the local credential or they are saved in the database?

The attachment shows the dialog box. Once you click that the login dialog shows.

So,
All you need is a script to send close the dialog?
David Hervieux
If you say so... I was under the impression I would be able to have KeePass pass an {ENTER} first and then fill in the login credentials. That did not seem to work.
If you can think of an easy way to do this I would appreciate it.
KeePass is not only the provider, it's not the one that open the connection. It's not aware of the message box. I will see what I can do.

I am running into the same exact issue here. I can click OK on the MOTD and the domain\username autopopulates, but the password does not. Have you made any progress on this yet?
Hi,
We added in the latest version a new field After Connection in the Events tab page. Maybe you could add some keystrokes?
{Delay}
{Enter}
{Tab}
ABCDE....

We are trying to get the KeePass password passed in, not hardcode the password in the Events tab. I did try adding in the keystrokes, but it did not even make the MOTD go away.
Is it possible to get me an access with MOTD dialog?
David Hervieux
Not possible, the company I work for is very strict and would not allow it. If you have any connections to RDP you can create a MOTD.
Thanks Tom - I'm in the exact same boat here. I also verified that it's not just the KeePass code - if you store credentials within the session entry itself, it still doesn't automatically log you in if there is a MOTD.
David - Most companies use this MOTD (Message of the Day) as a legal disclaimer when accessing resources on the corporate network. This is a very common practice. I do not recommend forcibly bypassing that window (law departments would probably not like that), but after clicking OK, it would be great to still pass in the password from KeePass. It is clearly passing in the username (and domain). You can set up this MOTD through Group Policy Editor if you have access to that. Otherwise, it's time to go into the registry for manual editing - you can Google the correct entries online.
Hi,
Thank you guys, I will try to find a solution. If you use mstsc with the credentials, does it works?
David Hervieux
My mstsc is not giving me the option of entering a password. I can specifiy a username, but no password. It also says "No credentials will be sent to the server."
*bump*
Also to clarify my last post, I was only unable to use MSTSC to store credentials. Manual login still worked just fine.
Thanks,
Steve
