Secure Key sequence

Questions Royal TS (for Windows)
1

It would be nice to secure Key Sequence to be written only in the related console avoiding the possibility to be wrote outside of RoyalTS.

This happened to me today :

  • Having a Key sequence defined in an endpoint properties “sudo -s {ENTER}$EffectivePassword${ENTER}”
  • Connect to this endpoint and immediately switch to a chat window
  • –> Your password has been shared

Hi Cyriel,

this can be done using the Rebex based Terminal connection and switching the key sequence tasks to “direct mode”:

https://docs.royalapps.com/r2021/royalts/reference/tasks/key-sequence.html#execution-mode

If you are using PuTTY, it will fall back to keyboard simulation. Because PuTTY is a re-parented external application window, we don’t have this kind of control to send keyboard input directly to this window.

Let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Stefan
