Password History
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or me just trying to be spoiled...
We have almost all RDP sessions with local passwords saved per RDP session... we're shifting to credential repositories for some.
If you go to a RDP session that has a credential repository for the password... It shows up the password local to that RDP session, even if it's setup to use the credential repository.
Would it be possible to have the password history dependent on however it was authenticating?

Hi,
For the local password, do you mean local password or a password directly saved in the session? I'm asking that because the real local password is saved in the Windows only.

Whoops, sorry to not be clear enough... It's the password directly saved in the session.
It'd be easy for you to see what I'm talking about, just create a session with a password saved to the session, then change it to credential repository and change the password to something else. When you go to look at the View -> Password history for the session it will show the old session password, not the credential repository history which it is using.
It makes sense from a programming standpoint the way it is but logically it would make sense to have whichever password is currently being saved (session... credential repository, etc.) show up as the password history.
Hi,
I see what you mean but I think that the password history should be disabled when it's linked to a credentials repository. You should look the password history of the linked credential instead.

Yeah thats one way to deal with it. It's so minor compared to some of the other bugs
