Admin tool feature requests

Here are two pet peeves I have when using the Admin tool (Version 3.0 series, probably applies to version 2 as well):

1 - "Connect to server" dialog has profiles disabled... Maybe the password should not be restored from a saved profile, but is restoring the username, server name, and SSL flag from a saved profile for the Admin tool all that bad? I manage two Vault servers (yes, there is a license for each!), each at a different client location, so the connection parameters are totally different. re-typing in the connection info every time I connect to the other server gets old after a while, specially since I do a lot connecting and disconnecting to each server!

2 - Once a respository is chosen, that repository should be the default for other tabs that require you to choose a repository. If I go to the "undo checkout" tab and choose a repository, then switch to the "obliterate" tab, I have to choose the repository again. Maybe this makes sense when you have a lot of repositories, as you would probably choose a different one every time, but when the only reposity you have is the "Default Repository" and you must click on "(Choose Repository)" to select "Default Repository" over and over, you wonder if there is a better way to handle this...

Thanks.

We didn't enable profiles for the Admin Tool because we didn't want users to be be able to log into the Admin Tool without knowing the Admin password.

I have logged your requests for Login Profiles for the Admin Tool and remembering the selected repository in the Admin Tool. Thanks for the suggestions
