I use Web session entries a fair bit in RDM but it would be ideal if each web entry would have its own or have a common shared storage that could be assigned to web entries to share. mainly for its cookies and site settings etc so authentication persists. Unless I'm missing something that would allow what I'm thinking of to work already, I've had to use InPrivate sessions then use the web extension autofill for authentication.
Basically, if you have ever used the FireFox addon Multi-account Containers you will understand what I'm thinking, although it would be even better if something could be setup within RDM itself which would allow any selected browser type to be able to do something to the Firefox only addon.
My use case would be to be able to setup account containers for different companies or just to share various users per container, this way web services used in web entries would already be authenticated for quick access that could also be complimented by the web extension autofill again for reauthorisation purposes.
I hope I've managed to get my idea across as intended so I look forward to replies, again even replies if I have completely missed an existing method to do this in RDM?

Hello,
If you are using Edge in embedded mode, there is a setting to set the profile:
If you configure the same profile for multiple entries, they should share the same cookies and settings. Can you try it out and see if it works for you?

OK, that's a setting I've missed. I'll play and get back to you, in theory it should work.

First few attempts, it doesn't seem to be doing much as after setting a profile name on an entry for an embedded edge session it still pulled the hosts credentials again rather than what I would have assumed would have been an empty profile requiring sign in etc.

Hello John,
I tested on my end, using the Devolutions forum as the website:
I configured my website entries to edge, and entered two different profile strings: "Prof1" and "Prof2".
I opened the first entry, logged into my account.
I closed the first entry then reopened it, and I confirmed that I was still logged into my account
I opened the second entry, and I was not logged into my account
So for me, it seems to work as expected.
Are you using any particular configurations, or maybe variables or something like that which may affect the behavior? I'm thinking it might be a configuration issue that causes it not to work for you.

I'll run through and try some other settings, I read it uses webview correct for embedded edge? For my initial test I went directly with a Microsoft admin portal, but for some reason my embedded edge also picked up my config for external edge which is work account sso auto sign in, although I have no idea if the config shoud even be interoperable?
Like I say I'll go away with it for bit more and come back.
