Considering supporting Integrated Windows Authentication?

Kong Nan

Windows has a built-in authentication mechanism that helps reduce complexity in deployment and usage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Windows_Authentication

This authentication method does not require the user to log in explicitly, but directly uses the identity of the user who is currently logged in to Windows. This authentication method is supported by common SQL Server, IIS/Apache (and clients such as IE), etc.

I didn't find a description of OpenRPA (and its backend) support for this (only SAML, etc.), so I wonder if OON supports it, or if it could be considered to support it? With this support, once a user logs into Windows, it will automatically have a ready bot (which represents the user's identity and inherits the user's permissions) with no operational cost for the user and easier deployment rollout for the enterprise.

Thanks!

(Sorry, I am not good at English and I am new to OpenRPA, so please correct me if I am wrong)

If you setup OpenFlow to use your local ADFS server, then you can support Kerberos though that.

Thank you for your reply! In that case, can OpenRPA GUI also be available immediately after batch deployment (msi and profile) without any login operation even one click by the user?

Not right now ... At the moment "someone" needs to start the robot and click the button for your adsf server
( example .. the two last are adfs servers )

It popups once in a while, where someone asks for the ability to skip the login screen completely, and I do see why that would be handy, but I have not been convinced into completing that yet.
I will be adding home realm selection from federated sites soon, that will skip the login screen but that is not what you asked for here.
