Inherited credential problem
I have a problem with V8.4 (and earlier). I have a complex tree set up for sessions and Credentials. It looks a bit like
Sessions
A
B
C
CA
CA-Host1
CB
CC
CC-Host1
CC-Host2
Credentials
uA
uB
uC
uC-User
uC-User2
I have set (default) credentials on the session folder (i.e. C), on the sub-session Folder (CC), and in some cases on the actual host entries (CC-Host1). The other host entries are all set to 'Inherit' mode. What I think is happening is that host entries are not inheriting from their immediate parent, but from the top level parent in their tree. So for example, CC-Host2 is not getting the credentials from CC, but from C.
I don't know if its relevant, but as this shows the credentials are also stored in a folder structure (although only with two levels).

Hi Tom,
Could you setup a small sqllite or xml data source to reproduce the problem? It will be much easier for me with that to find the root of this issue and fix it.

Not sure what I would need to do for this. The original post had a sample, but the formatting (spaces) were stripped when it was saved. Here is another try
Sessions
--- A
--- B
--- C
------ CA
--------- CA-Host1
------ CB
------ CC
--------- CC-Host1
--------- CC-Host2
I have a set of credentials set at the 'C' level, and a different set at the 'CC' level. When I open the RDP session for 'CC-Host2' (which is set to inherit creds), it does not pull in the set from CC (its direct parent), but uses the set from C (its grandparent).
Hi,
I Have the same issue. When using 'default' credentials on a subfolder, then it works correctly, but change the 'default' credential type to anything else (enbedded, repository,..) then the credentials are inherited from the top parent.
I've created a small xml file for you
Connections.xml
Hi,
Thank you Thierry. This is now fixed in the version 8.4.3 that I've just uploaded

hi,
Can I use that version if I'm already running the 8.9 beta?
This will be in the next beta release as well. I hope to build it later today.
