Website Auto Login via Windows Security

Hello,

You could try one of two things:

• Use the "basic authentication" login method. I'm not sure if this windows security login works through basic authentication, but it's worth trying.

• Use the typing macro in the "after connect" section of the event tab to perform a macro to type the credentials into those fields automatically. You can find more information about this here: https://docs.devolutions.net/kb/remote-desktop-manager/how-to-articles/entry-types-events-settings/event-auto-typing-macro/

Let us know if this works for you.

Regards,

Thanks Hubert. That does work, but the credentials are exposed in the URL with that method. I even checked "URL encode credentials" and it did not do such (unless I'm reading what that checkbox does wrong). Thx!

Hello,

What browser are you using? Is it edge, chrome, IE? We would have to see if it's possible to achieve basic authentication differently, but it might not be supported on all browsers.
As an alternative, you could configure the entry to hide the URL if you're worried about your users seeing the credentials.

Regards,

Hey Hubert,

im using Edge, but am happy to use whatever for testing. I have Chrome, tho understanding they use the same engine.

Appreciate your help!

Jimmy

Hello Jimmy,

Thanks for the information. To give you a little more information, our Edge integration uses Webview2, and our Chrome integration uses a third party called EssentialObjects. While the rendering engine may be Chromium for both, the features exposed by the libraries we use may or may not support this, so we will have to investigate. If this is not supported, we will file a feature request report with them and see where the leads us. We have opened a ticket on our end to investigate this.

Hello Jimmy,

We now have removed the credentials from the URL for the basic authentication method. The authentication process is now made through the header that is protected by HTTPS encryption.

Thank you for your feedbacks, if you have any more questions feal free to ask !

Best regards,
