Run an Event using credentials from the repository

Run an Event using credentials from the repository

Hi All,

I am currently using Remote Desktop Manager Enterprise version 10.1.4.0 and so far it is great. I am trying to do the following but am having some issues.

In the properties of my session I am trying to run an event before connection. The event is a command line that essentials modifies a registry key which allows me to connect using RDP without having to manually type in the password.

The account I am using to run RDM does not have administrative privileges to the machine I am connecting to. I have an Operator ID which does have administrative privileges to all machines and is stored in my credential repository.

I cannot seem to find a way to use this Operator ID to run my Event.

Any suggestions?

Hi,
Have you tried to use the variable $HOST_USERNAME$?

Hi David,

Thanks for the response, however $HOST_USERNAME$ does not seem to resolve to anything.

There are two things I have since tried. I forgot to add the fact that my credentials are stored in a KeePass database that is being accessed via RDM.

1) In the properties for the session, their is a section for Tools. In their you can specify credentials. If I specify my own credentials, then the $TOOL_USERNAME$ and $TOOL_PASSWORD$ resolve, however, if I specify credentials from the repository, then $TOOL_USERNAME$ and $TOOL_PASSWORD$ resolve to just blanks.

2) I noticed variables $CONTACT_USERNAME$ and $CONTACT_PASSWORD$. In the properties for the session, I noticed a Contacts Field. It seems that you can reference the credential manager, however, when i click the ... a pop up window comes up, but no credentials are listed.

Thanks again!

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. It's my mistake the variable is $USER_NAME$ and $PASSWORD$. However just make sure to set the allow password in variable is checked in the Advanced folder.



1) The tools credentials are only resolved when it's used by tool. This explains why it's empty

2) The reference list is empty if you don't have any contact created in the database. Use this link button to set the credentials
