RDM uses wrong credentials for login with vSphere Client
Hello,
we have four different VMware Cluster with three different vCenters. For login I use different credentials from my credential repository (domain-user and domain-admin-user).
For several versions I recognize a very ugly behavior:
When I make a double click on a entry to start the vSphere Client, RDM uses the wrong credentials, e.g. "domain\username" and does not fill in the password filed. I cancel this immediately and close the opening dialog from the vSphere Client and try to open the Client again. Now RDM takes the correct credentials from the entry, e.g. "admin-user@domain" and also fills the password field.
How can this be solved?

Hello,
This functionality is at the heart of RDM, there must be another setting interfering.
Best regards,

The latest version 10.6.7.0
Local XML file.
Normal with Username/Password ... no external Source like KeePass, 1Password or similar.
Nothing very special, only the paramter: "-locale en_US"
It´s strange, I have tried it now several times in a row ... with each second attempt RDM uses the wrong credential.
Hello,
I would like to do a Gotomeeting session to see this in action. Please send your info to support@devolutions.net if you agree. Please use the topic title as the email subject.

Hello,
For an update on the issue, it lies in the VpxClient executable. Our entry type for this one uses the simplest form: we simply call the Command line interface and provide the info as per VpxClient.exe -U $USERNAME$ -S $SERVERNAME$ -P $PASSWORD$
The VpxClient itself ignores the credentials the first time you call it.
Sadly we cannot do anything about this issue.
