Auto-Typing like KeePass

Hello,

Thanks for the request! I looked over the support ticket you had open, and I've opened an engineering ticket so we can see what we can do to fix this issue. In this case I think the macro system should work for your use case, but there might be a problem in sending the keystrokes properly.

I have a few questions for you that will help us understand what is going on more easily:

• To confirm, is your web browser entry in embedded mode? If so, what browser do you use (IE, Chrome, Edge)?
• Do you experience the same issue with other websites? What if you setup a macro sending a random string (it doesn't have to be the password for these tests), for example to the google search bar?

Regards,

Hello Hubert,

Thank you for your response.
Regarding your questions I've set up some more tests.

The main thing why we are looking for an auto-type feature like KeePass is because you can use that directly into console sessions.
When we generate password we don't want to manually type these into a console session.

I set up a Web Browser HTTP/HTTPS entry with a typing macro in RDM that should only input the password to the previous window.
This functions like expected when transferred to a Google Chrome search bar. This does not function in console windows like VMware Web Console or Solarwinds Take Control.
Because we often use those 2, and pasting password is not possible, a feature like auto-type from KeePass works excellent.

Hope to have you informed about our situation.

Tim

Thanks for the information, Tim! So it seems that there is something different about those consoles. We will investigate and get back to this thread once we have an update on the situation.

Hi there,

I have the same question / problem. Here we have Teamviewer sessions. The Teamviewer session opens corect and presents the Windows logon page. By now i don´t have found a good way to enter the user credentials to log in to windows. Copy /paste is not working, so autotype would be very nice.

Jens

Hello Jens,

Are you using TeamViewer through the web, or the application? I'm surprised copy/paste isn't working, but you could try out the macro feature in RDM if you haven't yet.

Hello,

We've added the option "Force sending macro through SendKeys API" in typing macro entries, which enables the possibility to send inputs to VMWare consoles.

This option will be available in version 2022.2.11.0.

Hello Jonathan,

Great to hear this feature is available in the new version of RDM.
Also my compliments for the engineering team for implementing this functionality.

Best regards,
Tim

Hello,

I just got word that this option seems to only work with Firefox, so that may be a workaround if you're having issues.

We'll reopen the ticket to see if we can make it work on Edge/Chrome.
