I have a need to launch an application (internet explorer) as another user. This is easy enough to do, using either a command prompt, or via powershell, but once the application is launched, I am not able to attach to it.
I've tried all manner of attach parameters, but always get the message
"Internal : Failed to perform step 1 in Navigate Stage 'Attach' on page 'Attach to IE' - More than one application matched the criteria"
I believe this message is misleading as not matter what I supply as parameters (even if I supply a child index  reference to force a match), I cannot get anything to attach and get the same message.
This appear to be a limitation of Blue Prism that I simply cannot work around, but I would appreciate any assistance in case I am doing something wrong.
FYI, I am using v5.0.24.0

I tried to do the same thing to access websites configured with single sign on, and I had the same problem as you.
What I ended up doing was changing the configuration of Internet Explorer to always prompt for username and password. Then I use send keys to enter the credentials.
Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > Scroll down and you'll see the option called "Prompt for username and password"

Thanks Melissa, I'll add that to the list of potential workarounds.
