using variables in RDP programs

[walkerch]

Hi,
I tried to use variables, when starting a program defined in the rdp section, using ASG-RD 2020 Patch7 (13.0.6985.1)
I could replace some values with variables, but not all.
I'm using a program psm to connect via CyberArk PSM to the destination server

Example:

Folder
Name: contoso.com

Connection (within Folder "contoso.com")
Name: server1.contoso.com
Setting RDP\Programs\Execution path: psm /u myAccount@contoso.com /a server1.contoso.com /c PSM-RDP
Credentials: myAccount

I could replace:
myAccount with %username% (Taken from the credentials)
server1.contoso.com with %name% (Take from the name of the connection)

I would like to replace the domain of the logon account (contoso.com) with the name of the containing folder.
I tried the variable %ConnectionFolderName%, which was introduced with ASG-RD 2020
From the Online-Help: "Folder name of the folder where the connection object is located."

Did I missunderstand something? Or is there another variable for this?

And an one more question: Is there a way to check, how ASG-RD resolved a variable (which value it used)

Thanks for helping

Hi,

I think the problem is that the variable could be only used in a credential object / connect-task. It's not a "global" variable as you used it in an external application.
As an easy way to see how a variable is resolved is to just create for example notepad as external app and use the variables as "Arguments" for example "%MyVariable%.txt". On starting notepad as external app it asks you to create the text that contains the resolved variable(s) or not. This way you see if the variable will be resolved.
