Mapping Login Fields

Some websites use unconventional labels to internally identify their username, password, and other login fields, which Web Password Filler cannot automatically identify. You can map the fields on the Web page to the fields in the Secret using drag-and-drop functionality.

Mapping Web Page Form Fields to Secret Fields

  1. While creating a new Secret for a website, hover your cursor over the field you want to map in the Secret. The system highlights the field in a gray oval and provides instructions for you to drag the field to the corresponding field on the web page.

  2. Drop the field into the field on the web page form that you want to map.

    drop-pwd

Enabling Field Mapping with Metadata

To enable the field mapping function for Web Password Filler end users, a Secret Server administrator must create a metadata section named WPFHints. In the WPFHints section, the administrator must assign a name for each mappable template field. The administrator must also include a string value with the XPath to the field Web Password Filler should populate.

In the example below, you can see the open Metadata tab displaying the WPFHints section. The WPFHints section shows the names of the mappable template fields: accno, Password, and Username. It also displays the corresponding XPath string values of //*[@id="account"], //*[@id="password"], and //*[@id="username"].

Mapping Secrets With Three or More Login Fields

If a web login has three or more fields, you will need to create a customized secret template based on a specific web login. You will also need to map the login fields that Web Password Filler needs to populate.

Follow these steps to map secrets with three or more fields:

  1. Navigate to the web login with at least three fields and click on the Web Password Filler icon.

  2. When adding a secret, select a customized template that has more fields than the standard web password template. This example includes one additional field:

    alt

  3. Drag the template User ID field to the web login Username

    alt

  4. Drag the template password field to the web login's Password field

    alt

  5. Drag the third field template to the web login's third field

  6. Click Save.

    For Web Password Filler to function correctly, you should map all the fields in the form to the respective secret fields while creating the secret.
