$PASSWORD$ variable not working in macro
hi,
i have some trouble to get the $PASSWORD$ variable working in a macro.
i am using RDM free 2022.1.25.
i defined a credential entry with a username and password and selected "allow password in variable" under security settings of the credential.
the i defined a session and configured in the session to use Linked (vault) credential and selected the credential.
but when i am using a macro, $USERNAME$ gets translated to the username in the credential, but $PASSWORD$ does not get translated to the configured password in the credential entry,
am i doing something wrong or do i need to configure something extra?

Hello,
You also need to enable the Allow password in variable option in the session's properties.
Let me know if that helps.

hi,
thanks for the reply.
only at the credential entry at security/security settings is there a possiblity to set "allow password in variable" .
at the session entry there is no "security settings" under security, thus configuring "allow password in variable" is not possible
Hello,
You should find the Allow password in variable option under Security Settings like this screen capture on an RDP entry type. I'm using the latest RDM Free version 2022.1.25.
What entry type are you trying to enable the option?

sorry, i should have mentioned that the session type is webbrowser.
after clicking in rdm on navigate, the website opens in my webbrowser outside of rdm.
then after few seconds the macro kicks in and type username (correctly) and as password it types $PASSWORD$
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
Even with the Web Browser entry, the option is available.
For external browser, we recommend to use Devolutions Web Login browser extension to automatically fill in the credentials instead of using the typing macro.

Let me know if that works better than the typing macro.

hi,
i see now where the confusion is. i made the entry not with rightclick at folder, then add/session and then webbrowser.
But i made the entry with right click on folder, then add/website.
in the first case i can select security, security settings and add checkmark at "allow...", but not in the second case.
thanks for the help!
PS.
Devolutions Web Login browser extension is nice, but we prefer the least amount of installable software to use our RDM database
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback and glad you have found the problem.
That's right, website entries doesn't have the Allow password in variable option but web browser entry type does.
