variable <user> for remote host configuration

[Felix-BDG_]

Dear all,

is it possible to use the variable <user> within the remote host configuration for RDP connection ?

For example:

If a system is reachable with hostname "felix" and my login name on the SA is "felix" too can I use the variable <user> for the RDP bookmark configuration ?

Attached a screenshot.

Regards,

Felix

You would have a lot more luck trying to that type of variable substitution using a Java client instead of the standard SSL Term Server RDP connection. Look at ProperJavaRDP which supports variables. There are also some others that have been mentioned in this forum.

Hey Felix,

Looking at your attatched screenshot, I pass the Username variable on the "Bookmark Tab" not the Resource Tab.

It works for us!

Good luck.

hmm.. but I do not want to pass the username as a Session Authentication information.

I want to connect to a system which has the username at the beginning of the netbios name.

e.g.

my login name is: felix

the systems netbios name is: felixWXP

my idea of the host configuration: <user>WXP

So the username variable has to complete the netbios name of the system I want connect to.

EDIT:

I think I got it.
