Experimented with IE some more and it does work, but it does have compromises. It only works if you have a standard username and password; no forms with non-standard named fields work.

Here is what I got working:

- Installed RDM extension for IE (http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Home/ExternalAddOns#rdmie)

- Went into IE "Internet options" privacy tab and unchecked box so that extensions could load InPrivate mode

- Made web browser type session entry in RDM

- Changed display mode to External

- Put in URL

- Picked Internet Explorer for browser

- Checked box to enable web browser extension link

- Checked box to enable private session

- On "Login" tab filled in username and password and also unchecked "Auto fill login"

The above works for me on plain vanilla form based website logins.

Now that RDM supports launching InPrivate/incognito sessions, what is working best for me is I prefer LastPass to keep all my passwords, so I just have IE and Chrome configed to allow the LastPass extension to load in InPrivate/incognito modes... and LastPass generally matches and form fills more reliably for more websites.

I can get IE to open InPrivate from RDM, but it only happens if all of the Form Login fields are blank. I suspect that IE falls back to normal session because IE implementation considers permitting external entity (aka RDM) access to the DOM to violate intent of private session. The Remote Desktop Manager IE extension may be a way to get the ability for RDM to auto-fill when InPrivate browser is in use. May require telling IE add-on manager to permit the extension to run with InPrivate browser. I want to test this, but will not get a chance until tomorrow.

Thanks for having this added. I am now running 9.1.7.0 and see that both external Internet Explorer and external Chrome now do indeed have options that can be enabled which does cause them to launch with InPrivate/Incognito sessions. Much thanks. FYI, the Change History page http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Home/ChangeHistory implies it only works for Chrome, but indeed it has been added for both Internet Explorer and Chrome.

Hi drift,

I am running 9.1.4.0 and see no evidence it has been implemented as of yet. Would love to have it.

Perhaps you can add in the ability for us to add our on optional command line parameters when a web session is set to launch the browser externally. This would provide the flexibility for me to address the issue of this topic. I see you have added a similar notion of "Open with Custom Parameters" menu for Team Viewer and Radmin sessions.

Thanks,

The capability of most interest to me is for a session entry being able to be set to open IE externally with the -noframemerging and -private command line options. This will make it so that such a session set in this way will cause IE to use a private cache of browser cookies, thus the cookies in the private session will not conflict with other sessions.

On a side note, it is also possible to launch Chrome in a private session if you start it with the -incognito command line option. This may be moderately useful, as I don't know if Chrome has a way to establish separate Incognito sessions. Instead, Chrome solves the issue of using multiple accounts at the same time from the same service through its profiles concept. I have not found a way that Firefox supports starting directly in private browsing mode from the command line.

Yes, I see that it will only be applicable for "external" type web sessions. I still advocate having an option of "Open as private browser session" is a needed feature. So you are not using this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h6ak8zt5.aspx method to launch the browser in the case of "external" type session?

I need this capability as well.

This is easy to do, when you launch the child iexplorer.exe process, include the command line option -private

Perhaps add a check box to the General tab of the Web session entry settings for Internet Explorer type browser. I assume the existing "Open new browser session (no merge)" setting is already being used to decide if the -noframemerging command line option is being used.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh826025(v=vs.85).aspx

With both of these options turned on, it would vastly improve the usability of getting into multiple different Office 365, Windows Intune accounts at the same time.
