$PARENT_PASSWORD$ Issue on Sub Connections
Hello,
while configuring a typing macro for a sub connction I figured out hat the $PARENT_PASSWORD$ variable doesnt`t resolve - for the $PARENT_USERNAME$ it works fine
Following structure:
Root-Folder:
Credentials: is linked to a Repository Entry, on the Credential Entry the option "Allow password in variable" is enabled
RDP Session:
Credentials: Inherited
Chrome Session (Sub-Session from RDP):
Credentials: Inherited (tested also with parent - make no difference)
Events --> After connect --> $PARENT_USERNAME${DELAY}{TAB}$PARENT_PASSWORD$
If I run the typing macro with focus on a notepad, I can see that the username is resolved correctly, but the password is the $PARENT_PASSWORD$ string..
For a better understanding I can also provide the structure as .rdm entry ;)

Hello,
If you could indeed provide us your structure we could start from there to try to recreate the issue, you can send it to support@devolutions.net

Hello,
Could you enable the "Allow password in Variable" in both the connection and sub-connection
(Properties -> Security)
And if you use an Advanced data source, make sure that in the Administration tab -> Data Source settings -> Password Policy, the "Allow Password in macro (send keys) is checked

Hi,
In the advanced data source settings it was enabled.
Enable the "Allow password in Variable" on both connection (main & sub) worked!
So if I want to have a password variable I had to enable the checkbox on all 3 locations? (Credential Entry, main connection and sub connecton)
(count without the advanced data source)
Thank you!

Hello,
In the Credential entry, you do not have to enable it but the main and sub connection it must be enabled.

Hi,
youre right - i thought the option mus be also enabled in the credential.. disabled it and it still works.
Ok, in summary, if a typing macro should be able to resolve the password from the parent entry / parent folder it is necessary thath the "Allow password in Variable" must be enabled on the parent and sub entry...
Hmmm do you think its possible to display a information window if the checbox "Allow password in Variable" on the sub is checked, with a notice that this will only work when on the parent entry the checkbox is also checked? (Like the window that RDM need a restart to apply the changes)
make it sense? or is it possible? ;)
Thank you!
