using superuser (su) in ssh Shell with Macro
Hi,
I like to use a macro to get a root shell. Therefore i created a list with my passwords and linked this list to the ssh-Entry 
In the section "security settings", I switched the Check-Box "Allow password in variable" to on
My Macro looks like this
For testing purposes I changed the macro from su {ENTER} {DELAY} $TOOL_PASSWORD$ {ENTER} to su $TOOL_PASSWORD$ $PASSWORD$
executing the macro opened the password list, where I can choose the desired entry, that results in this
So I think, the variables are empty. What can I do to solve the problem?
Greeting Detlev.

Hello,
In your SSH Shell session, under the Security Settings tab, could you check the "Allow Password in Variables" option?

Hello,
this switch is already set.
Best regards Detlev
Hello,
I also notice that you have a credential entry linked to your SSH Entry, could you also ensure that the option is checked on that entry also?

Hello,
great! That hint solves my problem. Thank you, now the password is in the variable TOOL_PASSWORD.
Thank you very much
But now, there is another problem
In the future we will have many entries like the sambpe entry in our database.
When I try to execute the macro, I do a right-click on the ssh Icon, choose Macro/Scripts/Tools and got this list
I think the list at (3) will be longer and longer with every new entry. How can i choose the right entry. Of course, I can change the name of the macro, but with 50 or hundert entries it would be very difficult to select the macro I need.
And is it possible to hide the entries in (1) and (2) . I don't need them at this point.
Best Regards Detlev.
Hello,
Sadly it is not possible to "Customize" this and therefore remove or add options.
