Configuring Session Recording
Overview
Session recording allows you to record an RDP or PuTTY session, with optional metadata, and play it back in Secret Server (SS).
The Windows protocol handler encodes your session in WebM format in real time and sends the recording to SS. There is an “Enable On-Demand Video Processing” option in SS which leaves the recordings in WebM format, which Chrome and Firefox can playback without any further processing, saving server processing time. If an on-demand recording is viewed with Internet Explorer or Edge (which do not support WebM playback), you can click the “Request Video Processing” button and the video is converted to H.264/MP4, which they can then play. If “Enable On-Demand Video Processing” is not checked, then all sessions recorded by the Windows protocol handler are automatically converted to H.264/MP4.
Note: The Mac protocol handler does not yet support this feature, so any recordings created with it are converted to the chosen legacy video codec format. We recommend H.264/MP4.
You can set the advanced session recording agent to “Record All Sessions.” If someone logs into a server directly without launching from SS, or even logs in at the console, the full session is recorded, including metadata.
