Warning
If you are using the Chrome version and you uninstalled or disabled the extension, you have to manually clear cookies for the AWS Console. To do so, when accessing the login page of the AWS Console, on the left of the address bar, click the lock icon and select "Cookies". Then, remove all cookies by clicking "Remove" until the cookie list is empty and finally click on Done
How to use it
Once you installed the extension on your browser, you need to enable the Multi-Console Extension on the Leapp Desktop App in order to use it.
Click on the top-right cog icon to access the settings, click on the Multi-Console tab and then click Enable Multi-Console Extension.
From the contextual menu of a session (accessed by right-clicking on it), simply select Open Web Console.
Info
If any communication error occurs, your browser is not open or you don't have the extension installed/enabled on it, the web console will be opened in your default browser without using the extension (and will be limited to a single session).
By clicking on the Leapp Multi-Console Extension icon in your browser, a list of all currently active sessions will be shown.
This list contains information obtained from Leapp about the session, including Session Name, Session Role and Session Region.
In the extension interface, click on a row to select and focus the tab in which you opened the related AWS Console, so you can easily navigate among many AWS Consoles at the same time.
