[PAM] Launching Putty in RDP session triggers Transparent Login Agent to populate credentials

Products

• CA Privileged Access Manager (PAM)

Issue/Introduction

RDP Application Service for Putty has been configured.

But when just using RDP Access Method to login, launching putty still automatically populates credentials.

Is this by design?

Cause

If you check your "RDP Applications" setting, there is "RDP Session" check box.

If it is checked then the behavior is by design.

If it is not checked, then Transparent Login Agent would not interfere.

Environment

Release : ALL

Component : PRIVILEGED ACCESS MANAGEMENT

Resolution

Uncheck the "RDP Session" check box in your RDP Application setting.
