Unlock RDP connections
0 vote
If I have credentials saved for an RDP connection, it logs me in when I connect. But if the session locks (my servers all timeout after 10-15 minutes and lock), I have to type my password to unlock (or cheat and close/reopen the connection :-)
Is there a way to resend the credentials and unlock an existing open, locked RDP session? I know LogMeIn sessions have the option to log in/unlock a session using the credentials you logged in with, but they obviously have the LogMeIn client software installed. Not sure if it's even possible with RDP.

Hi,
As far as I know it's now possible, but I will keep an eye on it, if I see something, I will add this.

Hi,
I'm very interested by this feature, any news?
Many thanks.
You can always just close the connection and reopen it.
Hi guys,
It's not perfect, but at least I could add a reconnect command.

Hey that sounds good enough for me...I find myself closing and reopening connections all the time actually, also with LogMeIn connections if I reboot, the webpage says "disconnected" but I have to close the tab and reopen again later. If LogMeIn could have a "reconnect" that would essentially reload the URL again like a fresh tab, and RDP have a reconnect option (on the tab's context menu perhaps?) that would be great! A keyboard shortcut would be nice too...
Sounds good for me too!
Thanks
In addition to a Reconnect on the context menu for the tab, could you make double-clicking the tab reconnect? At least for LogMeIn, not sure if it would be as useful for RDP--it may be. Just a thought.
Hi,
I can do it on a double click, but I will have to ask a confirmation.
David Hervieux
As long as the default answer is "yes" so I can just hit Enter to reconnect after the double-click, I'm OK with that :-) Thanks!
Hi David,
Hope all is well there. I'm so excited to have this feature in the next version!!!
Many thanks,
Hi,
I can imagine it is already implemented but how I can use it? It would be really helpful.
Thanks
You need to do a reconnect for that.
