Allowing popups for Brower needs

1 vote

Published 7 months ago

Good morning.

Is there any adaptation in RDM to allow pop-ups for when pages require it?

Things such as vCenter exporting an OVF, downloading from vCenter datastores, etc.

With popups blocked, it does not complete and needs to be opened outside of RDM.

Thanks!

Hello,

To ensure I fully understand your query, could you please provide a screenshot of the popup you’re receiving, along with how it appears in RDM?

That's the thing... RDM doesn't allow pop ups when using a browser, so there's nothing I can show you via RDM.

On Edge, FireFox, Chrome, etc., for vCenter items such as exporting ovf templates, it downloads multiple files to go along with that, and Popup Blocker *must* be disabled in order for it to work.

Hello

Understood.

It appears that this is indeed not currently supported. I will convert this support forum thread into a feature request and let the development team respond to your query.

Best regards

Hello Chuck,

I've opened a ticket so we can investigate. As far as I know, we already handle the "new window" events with WebView2 so there might be more to it than that.

Do you know of a public website we could access that reproduces this issue? That would be tremendously helpful.
