Connection to VMware WEB Client
I'm trying to set up an connection with automatic (or semiautomatic) login with supplied credentials. I've set up the connection using both IE and Chrome, both embedded, but as the VMware WEB Client uses flash, and not forms, I can't seem to automate the login. After several failed attempts, I tried to use a Auto Typing Macro wich I execute manually after connection. But this does not work either.
The Auto Type Macro, doesn't fill anything into the username-filed, even if i place the cursor there before executing the macro. The macro does not work with variables nor hard strings.... The macro excutes, but seems to do nothing. I Tried making a macro in another connection, and it works perfect. Seems there is something with the VMware WEB causing the macro's to not work.
Any help appreciated!

Hi,
I don't know why it does not work but I know that a Flash web page can be tricky.
Could you try to create WASP PowerShell (Macro Script Tools) to send the keystrokes?

I have no experience with WASP, but I sure looks interesting. I'll look into it and se if I can make it work that way :-)
OK, downloaded WASP, imported the module to Powershell. Opened up Iexplorer with the WebClient webpage (outside RDM). I then used powershell cmd-lets from WASP (again outside RDM for easy simple testing) to select the window, activate it and send the keys. That worked nicely. So WASP will be able to sort my problem. But I'm having trouble implementing this into RDM.
The WASP module in RDM doesn't seem to have any credential settings. How can I make sure this is using the right credential s from the beforementioned WebClient connection? I dont want to type the passwords in cleartext in the WASP script. And how do I make this WASP script accessible from within this specific connection? Seems this WASP script becomes a new "session" and thus have no connections to the Web-Client session.
Regardless, just to get it working inside RDM, I tried to make the WebClient session start in an external IE, and i then tried to execute the WASP (with cleartext passwords) from within RDM but nothing happens.... Seems RDM is unable to execute WASP.... No errors.... No success.... Just nothing happens when I execute. Is there some special configuration I have to do, in order to use WASP with RDM? Outside RDM, using just powershell in a cmd.exe, it works perfect.
Hi,
You could use the variable to achieve what you want.

I will verify what could be wrong with wasp but it's should be automatic.

Hi kea002,
Could you try RDM 10.1.10.0, some enhancements has been made for WASP.
You can download it here - http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Home/Download#beta
