Problems with Java web start and Macros

Problems with Java web start and Macros

avatar

Hi,

I'm launching Cisco UCS using the Java Web Start, now I need to auto login.
I'm trying to use macros but something is not working, the problems are:

- It seems that the macro is typing the varibles and not the values
- the timing of the actions and the typing are not in sync, so it starts to type 1-2 lettes and than the TAB is sent.

What is going on ?

is someone checking this ?

Could you reproduce it in notepad? Notepad is a more basic application and you could verify if it's related to Java Web Start

it is not related to Java Web start, tested it with notepad and the results are the same.

I just foumd that I should have enabled the option in the credential entry for macro (under security not advance as writen in the notes).
But still I only get the username, the password is typed as a varible not the value.

The macro is very simple:
$USERNAME${ENTER}$PASSWORD${ENTER}

Hello,

Could you check if you have enabled the password in macros in the datasource settings?



You can access the datasource settings from the administration tab in RDM.

I do not see this.

I'm using a local data source and 11.1.0.0 version.

I checked and we fixed an issue in our beta in regards to sending the password variable in macros when on an SQLite datasource (which is the "Local data source"). You can either try the latest beta version here http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Home/Download#beta or wait until we release our next stable version, which should be soon.

Just installed the latest beta, the notepad test works fine now but the Java Web Start still have the same problem...

Just to confirm, are you using the Java Web Start session type or the Cisco ASDM session type with the Java Web Start starting option?

Java Web Start...

Thank you Snir, I think I pinpointed the issue. I created a new build of the Java Web Start add-on and attached it to this post, could you try it out? You can install it by dropping the DLL in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager
This should allow you to use $USERNAME$ and $PASSWORD$ in Macros if a credential entry is linked to the Java Web Start entry. You will need to ensure you enabled the option to use the password variables in both the Java Web Start session and the credential entry (both are in the security tab).

If this fix works, we'll push it to our website.

It's working now for Java.

for some reason the regular login is not good now, I've changed the username format to {Domain}\{Username} and it types 3 times the sign "\" so it comes out like domain\\user.

Othe formats are working fine

Thank you for the feedback Snir. We'll push the Java Web Start add-on to our website as soon as possible with the change.

As for the username format {Domain}\{Username}, I looked into the code and I believe I have found an issue, which should be resolved in the next release. When it will be out, feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!
