# Configure a credential redirection entry in Remote Desktop Manager

Configure a Credential Redirection entry in Remote Desktop Manager to autofill credentials from any password manager into a web browser session.

The ***Credential Redirection entry*** enables autofill from any password manager and with a favorite Web browser.

### Create a Credential Redirection entry

1. Go to ***New Entry*** – ***Credential Management*** – ***Password Management*** – ***Credential Redirection*** to create a new ***Credential Redirection entry***.
2. Enter a ***Name*** and choose a ***Folder***.
3. Enter a ***Name ID*** (case sensitive). This must be unique within your repository. It will be used to identify the credentials and will be exposed as a subdirectory of the URL used to intercept the credentials.
4. Select a specific browser, or use the default one.
5. Click ***OK*** to save.
6. Open your new ***Credential Redirection entry***. Remote Desktop Manager displays the following informative dialog: "Remote Desktop Manager will now open a web page, please fill the credentials with your favorite tool and submit the form. This window will close automatically."

   The selected browser is launched for a URL that looks like this: `http://127.0.0.1:9999/LastPass%20redirection/login.aspx`.

   Notice the middle part is the ***Name ID*** entered previously. Depending on your configuration, the credentials are entered automatically, or you have to press a key combination to initiate your tool. Please refer to the documentation of your tool for more information.
7. Enter your credentials to save in the browser. Remote Desktop Manager will now process your credentials.

### Open a session using the Credential Redirection entry

1. Create a new entry, we will use an RDP entry for this example.
2. Enter a ***Name*** and choose a ***Folder***.
3. For ***Credentials***, select ***Linked (vault)*** and then your newly created ***Credential Redirection entry***.
4. Select your session then launch it. Remote Desktop Manager will display this informative dialog: "Remote Desktop Manager will now open a web page, please fill the credentials with your favorite tool and submit the form. This window will close automatically".
5. In the web browser, enter your credentials and press ***Submit***. The page will be closed after a delay.

The RDP session is launched and authentication is successful.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/how-to-articles/configure-a-credential-redirection-entry-in-remote-desktop-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
