How to add Username from Credentials to connection title

Published 11 years ago

Hi,

RDM Enterprise 10.6.0.1

I have RDP connections with Credentials connected to accounts in Credential repository.

I would like to get Username from credential and put it automatically into part of connection Title.

Example:
connection name: "Some connection 1"
Credential entry: "SomeAccount", Username field: TestUser

"Some connection 1 - TestUser"

I was trying to add "Some connection 1 - $USERNAME$" into Name field but it doesn't work for me ($USERNAME$ variable result is empty string)

Hello,

We do not have that kind of linking, this is akin to a down-level link whereas we currently have links to parents/containers.

With our User Specific / Local Machine specific settings, it would become quite complex to handle.

Sorry about that,

I don't know if this helps you @Bin, but I just make up a naming standard/guideline(which I of just adapt to specific RDM installation/setup) when naming credential entry's.
Example1: "domainname.random1.random2.local - admin"
Example2: "Dell Blade M1000e - root"
Example4: "Icinga Monitoring - icingaadmin"
Example5: "Icinga Monitoring - root"

Works well in many setups I have done.
Well, it's just an idea :)
