Variables are being passed "RAW"

Hi,
You use a variable, but it's never assigned. There is no credential specified anywhere. You can enter your user name, you can enter an embedded credential or hard code the username.

Are you trying to use the Windows environment variable, because if it's the case you are right it's not working. I will fix this for the next version.

You are absolutely correct. I'm trying to use the Windows env. var.
I hook everything that I can to Active Directory authentication. When I log in to a management web portal, I would like to use %USERDOMAIN%(%USERDNSDOMAIN%)\%USERNAME% or %USERNAME%@%DOMAIN%(%USERDNSDOMAIN%).
You can of-course just type "set" in command prompt and see all the windows environment variables ;)


If you by any chance, you implement this essential feature in a beta. Please don't hesitate to tell me and I will try it out immediately for you :)

Thank you very much David.

Hi,
Can you try this version:

http://remotedesktopmanager.com/download/Setup.RemoteDesktopManager.6.1.0.0f.exe

... "immediately" when I get back to work tomorrow morning :)

Thank you very much David. I will let you know tomorrow, if this release solves it.

I tried the new version. And it works, but I immediately thought of two things that would be very "nice to have" ;)

1. It would be smart to include the new Windows variables in the "View variables list" as: "Windows variables" to see which ones are available to use in RDM.
2. Is there any way to pass on my login-password as a variable in RDM, eg "USERPASSWORD"?

Thank you very much again David, I really appreciate it.

One more question/issue David :)

Is there any way to have RDM choose "Network account" on the web form, before applying username/password/domain/loginID?
If you look at the attached image/html you can see what I'm referring to.

Super duper thank you :)

Hi,
For the user password, do you mean the Windows password or one you entered in the credential?

For the Network account, I have no short term solution for now, I hope to add more automation (scripting) eventually.

Hi.
Yes I mean my windows password credential. This would be great(and very practical), if this would be possible.

What about my proposal regarding putting Windows variables into the variable list in RDM?

Regarding the "Network account" issue. That is not a "major" issue, just very annoying ;)
I can foresee many cases where you have to choose/set/select something in a web form before you are able to login. But please take your time :)

Thank you David.

For the windows variables, it's a good idea, I could add this to the variable dialog. I don't think that it's possible to retrieve your login password. Maybe we could create some sort of global variables in the application?

That sounds like a good idea.
Anything that works would make me a very happy RDM camper.

Any headway on this? :)

Hi,
It's still on my list (not too far), but I'm doing more bug fixes theses days than new features.
