Remmina 1.2.0-rcit-26 - Saving Passwords for SSH Sessions












1















OS --Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 Bit running in a VM.



I have created 3 different SSH session profiles to a couple of Raspberry PI servers.
I enter the password in the Remote Desktop Preference screen, but it seems to not save the password and it prompts me every time.
Session Properties Dialogue
When the password dialogue window appears I enter the password, click save password and the session establishes ok.
However, when I try to launch a subsequent session it always asks for the password again.
How do I get the save password to actually save?



Password Prompt Dialogue

          Does it help to install gnome-keyring as suggested in https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues/1440?



          I've installed remmina via snap and the information in the link above helped me with the same issue as you, although I had to follow the advice from "antenore" where I enable the keyring as well.



          UPDATE



          It seems the link went dead at some point. If I recall correctly the command Antenore recommended was this:



          sudo snap connect remmina:password-manager-service :password-manager-service



          In later versions (1.3.0 for example) of the snap package they inform the user what needs to be done the first time it's run by the user.
