Here is a KB article that walks through the steps for launching PuTTY with a custom port but should be similar for TOAD. <a href="http://support.thycotic.com/KB/a198/how-can-i-run-putty-launcher-on-different-port-custom.aspx">http://support.thycotic.com/KB/a198/how-can-i-run-putty-launcher-on-different-port-custom.aspx</a> Here is an example of passing in the arguments to TOAD (haven't test this...) "C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad Beta\toad.exe" "OCIDLL=C:\Oracle\Ora8i\bin\oci.dll" -c scott/tiger@database Please post back here if you try this out.

11/29/2011 5:19:55 AM David P Posts: 4	ah hadn't realised there was a custom launcher. I've built a SQl Plus launcher which works fine with anadditional field called Port. $UserName/$Password@"(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = $Database)(PORT = $Port))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = $Database)))" When I add the launcher to the Oracle template it offers me a field called domain (which doesn't exist in the Oracle template ) but I've mapped it to the database field and it all seems to work.

This is mostly for running tools or scripts as Service Accounts. Glad you got it working! :-D -- Secret Server 8.1 - Web Password Filler, SAP support, advanced discovery capabilities with rules.

An improvement for the custom launcher would be able to define the parameters that it requries and when adding it to a template being able to match up the fields in the template to the parameters in the launcher.
