I'd love to see an embedded browser option other than IE (could ChromeFrame be leveraged to embed Chrome?) and Firefox (no way to bypass invalid certificates in embedded Firefox last I checked, which admittedly was a while ago), period.

The newer versions seem to support the most recent ScreenConnect well, thanks! I would like to see more in the way of defaults (especially for session type, I always prefer to specify the session name as the code and not make it published) but it does work!

This was working great! But, I upgraded ScreenConnect to stable version 3.0.3728.4701 (released Nov. 14th) and now I can't connect. RDM just sits there ignoring me when I try to open an RDM Host session (one that's supposed to prompt me for a session name each time). Is this a known issue with the new version? I upgraded RDM to 8.0.5.0 and it doesn't help. Connecting from Internet Explorer works fine. Version 3 of ScreenConnect adds meetings as well and significant other features, I assume some of these changes broke the connection type?

I agree it's great to have the Free option back with portal password, thanks! Great for accessing my home machines on my Free account for sure :-)

I haven't used it enough to see yet but I can guess what's happening with cpresco44's report and would likewise prefer to have the "session" login for LogMeIn limited to the single connection (I assume cookie-based), so I can connect to multiple LMI accounts (different machines) at once. I do manage multiple LMI accounts so I could see this popping up as a minor problem. But, overall, great workaround for sure! One LMI is unlikely to be able to hack away from and limit either (at least in a meaningful way that you couldn't work around again). I hope.

Glad to see the workaround! With a LogMeIn Central account (paid), but no Pro accounts, this is how I've been doing it:

From the LMI Central webpage, grab the RSS Feed of the systems. This is viewable without a password (just URL) in any browser. I created an RDM webpage connection to view this page. As necessary, I can then open the page, copy the link to the computer, and paste it in the URL field for a new LogMeIn connection. It's "essentially" the same as a Desktop Shortcut URL but different even for the same machine, so I had to update all my existing connections once.

Obviously there's an Import LogMeIn RSS option in RDM already, but I want it dumped to a specific folder and the import only seems to dump the connection(s) at the root level.

Very nice to be able to use a workaround for LMI Free though to get connected still, thanks!

When I create a ScreenConnect connection, I would like to be able to have it Always ask for a session name but let me type one in (I can set one to a non-existent unattended session name and it works the way I want but I'd like to specify at launch of the connection), specifically to start a Host session, and it would be quite handy to let me pick a session type (listed/code/email) along with the session name (or email address for the emailed session) rather than having to preconfigure all these values. When using for remote support, this would let me launch my ScreenConnect session, select the session type and enter the code or email address (as I can from the ScreenConnect web interface now) and join the session waiting for the end-user to connect.

Additionally, when I try to just have an Embedded web browser (IE or Firefox both tried) open the Host page to complete the above directly within the ScreenConnect interface, I can't create and launch a session. IE fails to open the popup/popover window that lets me choose a session type/code when I click Create Session. Firefox lets me do that but once the session is created, it won't join (the ClickOnce Microsoft extension is required, which is installed in Firefox proper but perhaps not the embedded tabbed version). These are just the embedded versions, if I have it open in an External browser the system works fine. This isn't hugly urgent due to these workarounds but it would be helpful to adjust for one of these two features (preferably the above where I can use the ScreenConnect session type a bit more flexibly).

Thanks!

I'd be just as happy (or happier) with Google Chrome embedded. Using Chrome Frame or directly. Perhaps using Chromium vs. the branded Chrome browser, it looks like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2162173/is-google-chrome-embeddable has a link to .Net bindings for Chromium: https://github.com/chillitom/CefSharp

Also, there are several links (including to the above, plus some direct Webkit-renderer embed links) at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/142184/is-there-an-embeddable-webkit-component-for-windows-c-development that may be useful. Links there include http://sourceforge.net/projects/webkitdotnet/ for WebKit.Net and Awesomium: http://www.khrona.com/products/awesomium/ (which is a paid dev control)

I don't use Secret Server myself but I have 3 or 4 friends at least who use and heartily recommend it, so there are other users out there!

Thanks for the pointer. I updated the thread you linked; feel free to delete this thread as it's redundant now.

Bug report:

A connection with type VM Remote Console, when the server/user/pass/VM Name fields are edited, has the incorrect tab order. Currently if you start in the VM Name field, tab moves up through Password, then Username, Server, and then jumps down to the Fullscreen mode checkbox.

Not that I've figured out how (or if it's possible) to connect to a VM using the VM Remote Console to either a vm on a standalone ESXi box or ESXi connected to vCenter Server...so far it appears to not be possible unless I'm doing something wrong. Looks like it may be VMware Server 2.0 only. But that's not a final statement, just brief research and testing.

Yes. I mentioned it here because it was available through the add-on manager and I didn't check to see if it was third-party or not. I figure if you know enough about the add-on to list it in the add-on directory perhaps the bug report can make it to the author? :-)

Can you send me a printscreen of your logmein login page, because there is something I don't understand, I don't have the login field, so maybe it's not the same html.

Attached. This is what comes up if I click a LMI shortcut in RDM where the Username and Password fields are empty (so it doesn't auto login). The third field is where I can select the domain to login to, just like at a Windows login prompt where there are username/password/domain fields, and it's a dropdown that shows the available domains (usually a single domain or the local computer name unless it's a larger environment with multiple domains available for login). Since I logged in as Adminstrator last time, it's still there, and the domain is correct as well since I picked it the last time I logged in (or the first time actually, it's remembered since).

Here's the relevant HTML from the login form behind the screenshot (I've inserted some newlines for (a little) readability but otherwise it's a copy/paste job):

When I attempt to open an SSL-encrypted webpage with the Mozilla Firefox embedded xulrunner-based addin, if the site (like a local firewall/router) has a self-signed SSL certificate, I get a popup with an error and then nothing happens. No way to view the webpage anyway or add the certificate authority to the trusted roots or anything, just failure with no way around it. I have searched in the past (was a few months ago) for a way to add trusted certificates to xulrunner and was able to locate some partially-helpful information but nothing that led to a solution. Firefox/xulrunner keeps its own trusted cert repository so adding to the Windows store doesn't work, and if you have Firefox installed you can use the GUI to modify trusted roots but that doesn't apply to the xulrunner instance used by RemoteDesktopManager, so that also doesn't work. Any way to add this to RDM or enable a checkbox that bypasses SSL validity checks?

Just discovered that RDM 6 was released and grabbed it right away...awesome stuff! Love the LastPass integration and the LogMeIn autologin options among several of the new features! Now I just have to get the funding to pay for the upgrade since my licenses are too old to upgrade for free! Pricing sure has gone up since I purchased (maintenance costs about as much as the original purchase price), but plenty of new features have come along for sure.

Anyway, with the new LogMeIn auto login, it appears that there are three (possibly related) issues that I'm seeing:

a.) When I check the "auto fill login" box, it is always unchecked after saving and reopening the settings box.

b.) Regardless of that checkbox, if I manually enter credentials in in the text boxes (it doesn't let me enter a domain, but after the first login LogMeIn seems to remember the last-used domain which is nearly always correct in the future), it auto fills the login box immediately upon connection. If it fails (bad user/password/domain), it tries again over and over until LogMeIn quickly locks out the IP from access temporarily due to too many invalid tries. It shouldn't even be logging in automatically if the auto fill login checkbox isn't checked but it alway does. I assume the little password icon to the left of the URL bar is supposed to be used to trigger the login from the saved credentials if auto fill login is not checked? It doesn't seem to do anything for me at all when clicked.

c.) If I select a Credential Repository for a LogMeIn connection, I would expect the login (automatic or not) to use the saved credentials from the repository. However, the credential repository seems to be completely ignored and if I leave the username/password fields blank, no login is performed (even clicking the password/keys button above), but if I manually fill out credentials in those boxes they are used, ignoring the credential repository. I have connections where I have both LogMeIn and RDP connections set up for the same server (or multiple servers for the several servers with the same credentials) and it would be extremely handy to be able to set the credential repository once and use it for RDP and LogMeIn connections. I assume this is a bug (and not a missing feature/feature request) since I can select a Credential Repository for a LogMeIn connection type in the GUI, even though it fails.

Thanks!

When I connect with the latest release of OpenVPN and RDM to an OpenVPN connection that requires the OpenVPN GUI to be run with Administrative rights (Windows 7 64-bit with UAC enabled), it only connects when RDM is started with Admin rights as well. Any way to have RDM request that OpenVPN be started with admin rights without starting RDM with admin rights? I haven't used OpenVPN with RDM before now; I assume this isn't a new issue though. No elevation required with Shrew and IPsec, but I assume that's because IPsec requires a kernel driver to already be installed and OpenVPN runs in userspace but needs privileges to be able to flush the arp table and update routes.

Any progress on embedding non-IE browsers? I'm going more remote support of pfSense firewalls and there are script errors when IE is used and there's no built-in SVG support for viewing some graphs. Would love an embedded Chrome and/or Firefox option! I wonder if ChromeFrame could be used somehow? http://www.google.com/chromeframe maybe "virtually" send the HTTP header that turns ChromeFrame on inside the embedded IE so all pages get rendered by ChromeFrame inside IE?

Also, in a kind-of-related request, I'd really like to see support for using LastPass.com inside of RDM. At least for web browser type connections, it would be nice to be able to use password fill and form fill from within the embedded browser (IE or FF/Chrome when added) if logged into LastPass in another open Browser already. This may require some cooperation from the LastPass folks too, not sure, but they have a Client/Plugin/Extension for just about everything else out there on every platform, and I bet something like their IE-anywhere-plugin (run .exe from flash drive and it inserts itself in any running IE instance on a new computer for temporary use) could be made to work in RDM rather easily.

But, embedding non-IE would be my first request! Thanks for all the new features in the latest release, they haven't gone unnoticed and I'm saving time with many of them every day. The "Reconnect" option for RDP when right-clicking the tab has been extremely useful for example, to avoid typing password to unlock locked server where RDM has creds saved.

As long as the default answer is "yes" so I can just hit Enter to reconnect after the double-click, I'm OK with that :-) Thanks!

In addition to a Reconnect on the context menu for the tab, could you make double-clicking the tab reconnect? At least for LogMeIn, not sure if it would be as useful for RDP--it may be. Just a thought.

Hey that sounds good enough for me...I find myself closing and reopening connections all the time actually, also with LogMeIn connections if I reboot, the webpage says "disconnected" but I have to close the tab and reopen again later. If LogMeIn could have a "reconnect" that would essentially reload the URL again like a fresh tab, and RDP have a reconnect option (on the tab's context menu perhaps?) that would be great! A keyboard shortcut would be nice too...

Hey, I'm happy mRemote is no longer actively developed, it's what I was using but it going commercial with future development is what prompted me to look for (and find) RemtoeDesktopManager! Which is already light years ahead in terms of protocols supported (just having LogMeIn support is awesome), so no complaints here :-) I think the mRemote embedded firefox-type setup used Gecko, the Firefox rendering engine, directly rather than actually working from Firefox itself, which is why they required the separate download of the rendering engine. I figured it might give you more control over what to do with popup windows etc. though that's just a guess.

I haven't run into this issue but maybe it would be easier if Firefox or Chrome could be embedded rather than just IE? I know it's on the list :-) But, the mRemote project (open source) had Firefox embed support for a long time as long as you downloaded the right Firefox addon to allow it, maybe how they did it will give you some idea? I'd really like to not use IE but I do want to use embedded stuff like my helpdesk! OK I'm kind of hijacking this thread but my thought is...maybe it's easier to handle popups with a different browser engine as a workaround? With Outlook Web Access on Exchange 2010, the web interface is as good in Chrome/Safari/Firefox as it is in IE :-)

Is Amazon S3 encrypted in transit with SSL when a connections file is saved there? I'm pretty sure it's not on S3 itself although access is pretty well protected if you don't give out the login info, but I'm curious if it stays encrypted in transit to/from S3 since I just set up S3 to hold connection files :-)

No, no matter which way I drag, it always locks up (no tabs are draggable) at some point. Usually when I'm trying to drag a tab that does NOT have focus, but once I try and it fails, I can't drag any tabs until I change the focus to another tab and then I can drag again. I did see it where after one drag of the tab with focus, I couldn't immediately click and drag the same tab again (or any others), too. If you can't replicate I can probably take some sort of screen capture video. I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit with beta 5.6.0.7.

OK I played with drag and drop in the beta a bit more. It doesn't work all the time. I have two RDP connections to Server 2008 machines open for example, the only two connections open. If I drag the right tab to the left, it works. If I drag it again, sometimes it works, if I drag the right tab to the left again, it always doesn't work on the third try. I can then move back and forth, trying to drag left to right or right to left, and it doesn't work (mouse cursor doesn't change to indicate dragging, and it doesn't move), until I switch to make a new tab active, then drag starts working again. I've seen a couple of other times where I just took two connections and moved them around and I'm not sure exactly in what order, but it always stops working until I make the other tab active, then starts working again.

I haven't messed with more than two open at once while dragging, figured I'd start simple :-) Feel free to move to the Bugs forum since it actually belongs there now...or let me know; I can open a new post there.
