Windows – RDP file with embedded password asks for password

rdpremoteremote desktopremote-accesswindows

I've created one RDP file

full address:s:10.20.30.40
username:s:myuser
password:s:mypassword
domain:s:mydomain

When I open this file it still asks me for the password. What can I do to tell RDP client to use password mentioned in the file instead of asking user?

I had the issue on Windows 10 with perma asking password when I try to connect to a new machine.

First, the password line in the RDP must be named:

password 51:b:myEncryptedPassword

And the pass must by encrypted. You can use cryptRDP5 to convert it: https://github.com/jps-networks-modifiedOSS/openvpn-als-applications/tree/master/adito-application-rdp-xplatform-embedded/src/windows

cryptRDP5.exe yourpassword

Note that the generated password is only valid for the machine that did it.
