Several different web consoles require an initial refresh; screwing up the automatic login
Several different web consoles require an initial refresh; screwing up the automatic login
I had seen this before, but now that I was finally able to pay for RDM again and fully upgrade, I see it's still an issue.
Currently, I'm running this on Windows 10, 1909. RDM x64 v2020.2.17.0.
When I launch the web consoles (Imprivata, HP iLO, HP OneView, and a few others) they come up as page cannot be displayed, and I have to click the address bar and refresh the page, and then it comes up. (with the iLO pages, I have tried them as official ilo connections, and as web page connections; the results are the same). Since I am having to refresh the page, the autologin functionality is useless.
In this screenshot - I first opened the ilo connection for this server
In this screenshot after the above page, I clicked on the address bar and hit enter to force a refresh, and the login page appears.
(I tested it with the refresh button and had the same results).
Thank you :-)

Hello,
Did you give it a try with this option checked :

That worked great to bring up the login page, thank you. :-).
Now - the automatic login still does not work - the page will refresh, but the credentials are never filled in.
And, how would I set this for the connections defined as iLO Connections? That advanced tab doesn't exist for those, so I'm assuming it would need to be a powershell script?
It also looks to me like the iLO defined connections are using IE as the connectivity; is there any significant difference between connections defined as iLO connections vs. regular Web connections? I see the dropdown to select the version of iLO, but I don't see anything that indicates it would make a difference?
Thank you again!

Hello,
You can also use a Web Browser entry for your iLO sessions. You could also try to set a Autofill delay in the Login - Settings tab of your Web Browser session, make sure it is greater than the refresh delay :

Thank you. The page refresh setting worked, but it doesn't seem to be helping the credential part of this.
So, one of my questions semi-related to this -- if the iLO connection is just a web browser connection, why is it listed as a separate connection time with less options?
Thanks :-)

Hello David,
The HP iLO entry has been released a while ago and even though the web browser entry provides more options, we haven't removed it from RDM because it is still used by some of our users.

Fair enough, thank you.
