WAC - Can't log out #183

Open shodgson11 opened 2 years ago

shodgson11 commented 2 years ago

I logged on as a normal user account instead of my user with escalated permissions and see there is no way to log out to correct this.

Gateway Version: 2110.2 Build 1.3.2204.19002

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Log on as a user without sufficient rights
  2. See there is no way to log out and log back in as the appropriate user

Expected behavior A button/link that provides the ability to log out and log back in as a different user

Tick the box next to a server or computer This will enable the "Manage As" button (at the top of the page) Enter your admin creds BUT remember to tick the box under them for use these credentials for all connections

This doesn't solve the problem at hand. WAC keeps a separate list of computers for each user, so I would have to re-add every computer I need to manage to this other account. If the product had the basic ability to log out, there would be no issue.

it does keep a list of computers for each user but, much more usefully, it has a shared connection list where you only need to add computers once for any user. Find it under Settings > Shared Connections If you generate a text based list of servers using powershell you can import all your domain joined servers in one go
