Connect when available, Connect after failed scan in 2026.2 beta

Hello - Having a very hard time in the beta with a feature I use all the time: Connect when available, and Connect after failed scan. I do find the Connect when available buried under several menu levels, but is no longer easy to find and very frustrating to use. Once used, it stays persistent across all subsequent connections to a host which is super annoying when you're trying to finally disconnect from a server. The option for Connect after failed scan has been wonderful for rebooting systems and automatically reconnecting afterward. That option appears to no longer be available at all. I did find the setting of "Connect when available delay in Settings->Tools, however it either doesn't do what I think it should do, or doesn't work at all. Is there new functionality I'm missing to replace these? Can the previous capabilities please be returned? P.S. - I'll add in general that the Connect when available capability would be much more effective scanning for port availability (3389) rather than ping, as many systems are firewalled, don't allow icmp, etc and will never respond to ping. Thanks for listening and a great product! --Jeff

Desktop background switched to black with RDM

I don't know since when, but every time I connect to newer 2022 or 2025 Windows servers through RDM, the background colour is changed to black. I do set the colour to anything and when I reconnect it goes back to black. Using RDP client from WIndows I do not see this behaviour. Is there a setting I'm missing that causes this?

SSMS v22 and SQL Server Management studio add-on

Dear all, At RDM, we use the SQL Server Management Studio add-on to open the SSMS application. We need to run SSMS using a CyberArk privileged account. Therefore, we use RDM to launch the process "runas SSMS.exe /user:<privileged account>". RDM_obrazek1.jpg shows an example of our SQL Server Management Studio object configuration, as we use it. [image] When we launch the object configured this way, RDM correctly retrieves the credentials from CyberArk for the privileged account and launches SSMS version 22. After SSMS launches, an error appears stating that an unknown -E switch was used. [image] S tímto nastavením v RDM vše dobře funguje např. se SSMS verze 20. I read that the -E switch was deprecated in version 22 and replaced by the -A switch for Active Directory authentication in the SSMS documentation. See the link to the MS documentation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ssms/ssms-utility I would like to ask you to fix this add-on. As a workaround, we use the Command-line (external application) object to launch SSMS under a privileged account. Thank you Best regards Jakub Vácha

RDM - Jump Host - Agent not recognized

Hi! I am using the 2026.1.22.0 on my W11 to connet via another Windows 11, which act since RDM 2025 as Jump Host to our Servers. As stated the RDM Jump-App is deprecated an it is adviced to use the Devolution Agent, no problem. I installed the 2026.1.2 which is running, as the service and Tray-icon is telling me. In my RDM I switched the Jump-part of my Jump host to Devolutions Agent or Automatic and tried to connect to the designated Server as usual. If I turn off the Jump Host app on the Jump host, I got no connect, RDM on my source machine tells me "no Agent running", If I switch the App on again, and do "Automatic" in my Jump Host config, It connects (as expected) but I get the "...deprecated..use... " - Popup-Box. Any clues for me? Missed I anything? Cheers Matthias

RDM Application Window - Increase Display Size/Scale (Win11)

Aloha! For all of us SysAdmins who have been in the trenches for many years, staring at text and interfaces for years on end — vision issues are starting to creep into our lives. RDM is a wonderful application, but I must admit I'm stumped how to increase the application text/content scaling. This is not related to the size of an RDP session, but instead the actual font/interface sizing. I've experimented with the "Display Scaling" options, DPI-unaware, System aware (default), yet the size is still exceptionally small and hard to read. I've also flipped the .EXE setting for Change high DPI settings -> Override high DPI scaling behavior -> System (Enhanced). Is there another setting or option I'm overlooking? This is the only application exhibiting this issue, all other system-aware scaling apps behave correctly, and are legible. Cheers, -Ian

RDP secret Macro / Remote tools / Tool Credential

[image] Dear Support I have several RDP entries on my RDM (2023.3.39.0 64-bit) and I connect using Myprivileged Account. It is linked to our PAM Secretserver. Today we had a problem on a server and I'd like to get the remote process list on the destination server. So I've tried to use the Remote tools -> Remote Process but I get the access denied error. i suspect the tools run as my standard user and not myprivileged account. Thank you L.

Bug Report: 1Password + Duo Universal Prompt authentication fails with BadRequest in latest RDM

Hello Devolutions Support Team, We are reporting a critical bug in the latest version of Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) affecting 1Password integration when Duo Universal Prompt is enabled. --- ENVIRONMENT - Product: Remote Desktop Manager (latest version) - Feature: 1Password password manager integration - MFA: Duo Security (Universal Prompt enabled, Traditional Prompt deprecated) - OS: Windows --- PROBLEM SUMMARY When attempting to authenticate to 1Password through RDM using Duo MFA with the Universal Prompt, the authentication fails. This worked correctly approximately 4 months ago. We have not changed our Duo configuration — we migrated to Duo Universal Prompt over a year ago and it works correctly with the native 1Password Windows application. --- ROOT CAUSE (identified through reverse engineering) We have performed reverse engineering of the PasswordManagerAccess.dll (version 33.4.1.0) included in RDM and identified the following two issues: 1. PRIMARY CRASH — DuoV4.SubmitSystemProperties The method searches for an HTML form with id='plugin_form', which only exists in the old Duo Traditional Prompt. The Duo Universal Prompt returns a React-based page with no such form, causing an immediate exception: InternalErrorException: Duo HTML: the main form is not found at PasswordManagerAccess.Duo.DuoV4.SubmitSystemProperties(...) at PasswordManagerAccess.Duo.DuoV4.AuthenticateAsync(...) at PasswordManagerAccess.OnePassword.Client.AuthenticateWithDuo(...) 2. SECONDARY ISSUE — OAuth flow not handled The Duo Universal Prompt uses an OAuth 2.0 flow with the following authorize URL: https://api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com/oauth/v1/authorize?client_id=...&response_type=code The current code in AuthenticateAsync only handles two redirect cases: - /frame/frameless/v3/auth → redirects to V1 - (default) → calls SubmitSystemProperties → CRASHES There is no handler for the /oauth/v1/ flow, which is what Duo Universal Prompt uses exclusively. --- FULL STACK TRACE PasswordManagerAccess.Common.InternalErrorException: Duo: Duo HTML: the main form is not found at PasswordManagerAccess.Duo.DuoV4.SubmitSystemProperties(HtmlDocument html, String url, Dictionary`2 cookies, RestClient rest, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at PasswordManagerAccess.Duo.DuoV4.AuthenticateAsync(String authUrl, MfaMethod[] otherMethods, IDuoAsyncUi ui, IRestTransport transport, ISimpleLogger logger, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at PasswordManagerAccess.OnePassword.Client.AuthenticateWithDuo(SecondFactor factor, MfaMethod[] otherFactors, IAsyncUi ui, RestClient rest, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at PasswordManagerAccess.OnePassword.Client.GetSecondFactorResult(...) --- REFERENCE FIX The open-source library 'password-manager-access' by detunized (which your DLL appears to be based on) released a fix for this exact issue in version 22.0.4: CHANGELOG entry: "22.0.4 — 1Password: fixed an issue with Duo MFA failing to authenticate in some situations" Also backported in versions 22.1.2 and 26.1.1. Your internal DLL is version 33.4.1.0 and does not appear to include this fix. REQUEST Please integrate the Duo Universal Prompt OAuth flow fix into the PasswordManagerAccess.dll included in RDM as soon as possible. This is a blocking issue for any organization using 1Password + Duo Universal Prompt. Thank you for your support. Best regards

MFA caching for PSM SSH Proxy not working

Hello, I've tried to set up two different PSM SSH Proxy connections with MFA Caching and neither of which succeeded Environment 1: The connection through the PSM SSH Proxy works, when the credentials are defined in the PSM SSH Proxy entry. However, if the MFA caching is enabled, the connection crashes. The authentication mode is set to CyberArk and the credentials are hard coded into the entry: [image] If I try to connect with this setting, I get two errors: [image] [image] The SSH Terminal entry should be configured correctly, because it works without MFA Caching. This is the latest CyberArk version (15.0), so I suspect the issue is caused by some change to the API. The passphrase for the key is not enabled. Environment 2: In this case, the CyberArk environment is on version 14.2 and there is enforced MFA with SAML, so the PSM SSH entry is configured for SAML authentication. When trying to connect through the PSM SSH Proxy, it first asks for SAML authentication, which goes through correctly, but after that I get a prompt for interactive authentication: [image] I have no idea which password it requests. The host field contains the hostname of the PSM SSH Proxy. In this case, the passphrase for the SSH key is enforced. Could you confirm whether this is a known issue with the latest CyberArk versions, or whether there's a configuration on the RDM side I might be missing? I'm happy to provide logs, screenshots, or additional details from either environment if that would help with troubleshooting. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Daniil

High privileged requirements for Microsoft Azure AD / Entra ID tenant request

Can someone here please explain why the RDM application wanted to become a highly privileged application in my Microsoft Azure AD / Entra ID tenant? [image] What would occur if the Global Administrator account approves the above request? The RDM application is only used by 2 or 3 Senior engineers, so I'm not sure why the required approval above is tenant-wide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SSH terminal session logging path variable issue

Hi Support team, I noticed if try and log to a UNC path to a hidden share the $NAME$ variable doesn't populate. Examples below. \\san\ittemp$\vendor\TermLogs\%USERNAME%\$DATE_YEAR$\$DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$\$NAME$ ($HOST_WITH_PORT$) - $DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$.log The log file will be named: $NAME$ (10.1.x.x) - 5-22-2026.log If I change it to a mapped drive, where I map B: to \\san\ittemp$ (it work properly) B:\vendor\TermLogs\%USERNAME%\$DATE_YEAR$\$DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$\$NAME$ ($HOST_WITH_PORT$) - $DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$.log Log file name: IND-DEVICE (10.1.x.x) - 5-22-2026.log if I use a nonhidden share, it works proper as well. If I use a custom variable set to the string "\\san\ittemp$", it works this way as well. $CUSTOM_FIELD1$\vendor\TermLogs\%USERNAME%\$DATE_YEAR$\$DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$\$NAME$ ($HOST_WITH_PORT$) - $DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$.log Question is.. is this a bug?

SSH session, post-login commands works strange.

Hi, I'm using the portable version of RDM. In the last two versions, post-login commands for ssh sessions behave strangely. I use keepass as a password store. First, I pass the username and password from keepass, which works fine. Then I need to pass the administrator password via the su command, and I use the $TOOL_PASSWORD$ variable. As a result, after login, everything looks like the second picture. Maybe I missed some changes. Thank you. [image] [image]

RDM Import Issue: Incorrect Destination Handling

Hello RDM Support, I am experiencing an issue when importing an RDM file into the vault on Remote Desktop Manager version 2026.1.22.0 64-bit (JIT). When I select “Root” as the destination during the import process, the option is ignored and the entries are imported into the currently selected folder instead. When I select a specific folder as the destination, the entries are imported into: “Chosen Import Folder / Folder Selected Before Starting the Import” instead of being imported directly into the chosen folder. The expected behavior would be for “Root” to import directly into the vault root, and for a specific folder selection to import directly into that folder only. At the moment, the folder selected before starting the import always seems to be used as the base path for the import. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a “Back” button after selecting the destination folder instead of only having a “Cancel” option. While testing this issue, I had to restart the entire import process every time because there was no way to go back and change the selected folder. Please let me know if this is a known issue or if additional logs or screenshots are required. Best regards, Stefano

Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us. To resolve your issue, you’ll need to create a template with the required configuration and push it through your synchronizer. Please follow these steps: 1. In RDM, go to File > Template > Entry Template, then create a new RDP Template. 2. In the RDP template: Set the Credential to "None". Under the Advanced tab, check the option Prompt for credentials on client. 3. Save the template. Next, return to the AD Synchronizer: 4. In the Synchronizer properties, set the template to the one you just created. 5. Click Save, then synchronize again. After this, you should be prompted for Windows authentication each time you connect to an RDP entry. Let me know how it goes. Best regards,
