    Hello ​@Hisys 

    Please have a look at our KB on configuring and testing application sessions in Password Safe.

    https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0017190

    If it redirect to the page for the username and password and does not type the credentials it may not be matching the xpath element for that control. 

    For example if the page is not entering the user name and you are using the following ini file you may need to update the xpath element listed in TaskSequence1 “XPathElement="//*[@id="i0116"]"” and change it to the xpath for the form element that excepts the username. 

    [General]
    BrowserName=%browsername%
    TargetURL=%targeturl%
    EnableLogging=4
    LogMethod=3
    LogPath="C:\apps\portal.azure.com"

    [TaskSequence1]
    XPathElement="//*[@id="i0116"]"
    XPathValue=%username%

    [TaskSequence2]
    XPathElement="//input[@id='idSIButton9']"
    XPathAction="click"
    WaitLoginWindowDelay=2000
     

    Have a look at this KB on finding the correct xpath element for a control.
