Auto type macro issue

avatar

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue with my RDM and autotype macros after my upgrade to Windows 10 (1607). My setup goes as follows, I have my credentials stored in a credentials object, the RDP session has my credentials configured, still when I connect (due to a Group Policy on the server side) the credentials are prompted anyways.

To automate this I have created an autotype macro (Events -> After Connect) which contains the following macro:

{Delay}$PASSWORD${Enter}

The delay is configured for 14 secs (14000 ms), and it used to work properly with my previous version of Windows 10. Now the behavior seems that when the popup to introduce the credentials appear, the macro is halted, since the notification in the right bottom corner that indicates the macro is in execution doesn't dissarpear until the popup is closed. Even if I close it after 15 or more seconds.

If I change the RDP session from "Embedded (tabbed)" to External, the macro works successfully. "Embedded (tabbed)" or "Undocked" will be useful to reproduce the issue, if changed to External, works perfectly.

Everything leads to think that with the new RDP version shipped with 1607 when the Windows Security appears RDM waits until it closes before continuing with the macro execution.

Hope this helps to get the issue resolved.

Thank you in advance,
Hernán

Hello,

What version of RDM are you using?

What type of data source are you using?

Sorry, forgot to specify such. RDM version I'm using is 13.0.1.0, but also registered the issue in the previous RDM version. Regarding the data source, is a local data source, DB version is v1.127.


Hope this helps,

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I have verified this with my team.

Unfortunately, since this is a Windows Security window, we cannot automate interactions with it.
