TruFleet Auto Login & Browser Settings

How to enter username and password into TruFleet URL and configure Browser to load TruFleet map on launch.

Auto-Login to TruFleet on Chrome Startup

Enable TruFleet to automatically log you in whenever Google Chrome launches by embedding your credentials in the URL and configuring Chrome’s startup pages.

Prerequisites

  • Windows 11 with Google Chrome installed

  • A valid TruFleet username and password

  • Basic familiarity with editing Chrome settings

1. URL-Encode Your Password

If your password contains special characters (for example &, =, %), you must URL-encode them so Chrome doesn’t misinterpret them as separators.

  1. Identify special characters in your password.

  2. Replace each with its percent-encoded equivalent:

    • & → %26
    • = → %3D
    • % → %25
    • space → %20

  3. Use an online tool to encode or decode strings as needed.

  4. Note your encoded password for use in Step 2.

2. Build Your Auto-Login URL

Insert your username and encoded password into the TruFleet login endpoint template:

https://<LOGIN_IP_OR_URL>/login?username=<USERNAME>&password=<ENCODED_PASSWORD>

Replace the placeholders:

  • <LOGIN_IP_OR_URL> with the IP address or hostname of your TruFleet server
  • <USERNAME> with your TruFleet username
  • <ENCODED_PASSWORD> with the URL-encoded password from Step 1

For example:

https://<login_ip_or_url>/login?username=admin&password=Passw0rd%26

Test this URL in Chrome’s address bar to ensure it logs in successfully before proceeding.

3. Configure Chrome to Launch with the Auto-Login Tab

Option A: Use Chrome Settings

  1. Open Chrome and navigate to
    chrome://settings/onStartup.

  2. Select Open a specific page or set of pages.

  3. Click Add a new page.

  4. Paste your auto-login URL from Step 2:

    https://<login_ip_or_url>/login?username=admin&password=Passw0rd%26

  5. Click Add.

Every time you launch Chrome normally, it will open this tab and trigger the TruFleet login.

Option B: Create a Desktop Shortcut

  1. Right-click on your desktop and choose New → Shortcut.

  2. In Type the location of the item, enter:

    "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" https://<login_ip_or_url>/login?username=admin&password=Passw0rd%26

  3. Click Next, name it “TruFleet Auto-Login”, then Finish.

  4. Double-click this shortcut to launch Chrome and auto-login to TruFleet.

4. Verify the Auto-Login Flow

  1. Close all Chrome windows.

  2. Launch Chrome via your chosen method (settings or shortcut).

  3. Confirm that the TruFleet login page appears and you’re signed in without manual input.

Automate Launch at Windows Startup

  1. Press Win + R, type shell:startup, and press Enter.

  2. Copy your “TruFleet Auto-Login” desktop shortcut into the opened folder.

Windows will now launch Chrome and auto-login to TruFleet every time you sign in.
