The Allow password in variable setting lets you store and reference passwords in variables, which can then be reused across multiple entries, scripts, or commands without having to enter the password.
To use the password as a variable, go to the entry's Security settings and enable Allow password in variable.
If you have an advanced data source, you will need to enable Allow password variables for all entries and Allow password variable in macros by going to Administration – System settings – Password policy.
If your entries use the Linked (vault) credential mode, make sure to also enable Allow password in variable in the linked credential entry itself.
Here is an example using the Allow password in variable setting to send the password automatically inside a TeamViewer session.
-
Open Remote Desktop Manager.
-
Add a new entry and select Typing Macro under Macro/Script/Tool.
-
Enter
$USERNAME${TAB}$PASSWORD${TAB}{ENTER}in the general field of the typing macro.Please note that the initial wait has been configured to 5 seconds, this varies depending on each user system.
-
Click Add to save.
-
Open your Credential Management entry.
You can create a Credential Management entry in Remote Desktop Manager by clicking Add a new entry – Credential Management and selecting Username / Password.
Go the properties of your Credential entry and enable Allow password in variable under Security Settings.
Click Update to save.
The next step happens when the TeamViewer session is open and credentials are ready to be entered.
Right-click on your credential entry and select Macros/Scripts/Tools - Send Credentials (or the name you gave your entry).
In conclusion, put the mouse cursor in the appropriate login field and the typing macro will do the rest.
