Hi,
We're in the process of migrating our Pleasant Password Server authentication from LDAP to SAML SSO, using Authentik as our identity provider. The migration on the PPS side works fine — web UI and KeePass clients authenticate correctly via SAML.
However, we rely heavily on the PPS integration in Remote Desktop Manager, and it appears RDM does not support SAML-based authentication against PPS. When "Enforce Partner Sign-In" is enabled in PPS, RDM login fails entirely. The only workaround we've found is enabling "Allow Exception for Direct Sign-In" for the affected users, which bypasses SAML and falls back to direct credential auth — defeating the purpose of the migration for those users.
I found an older thread from 2023 documenting the same issue (https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/40098/pleasant-password-server--saml-sso-authentication), where a Devolutions engineer indicated they would investigate whether the PPS library supports SAML. As far as I can tell, nothing has shipped since then.
So my questions:
1. Is SAML authentication for PPS data sources/credential entries in RDM on the roadmap?
2. Is there any workaround beyond the "Allow Exception for Direct Sign-In" policy exception?
3. Has anything changed in recent RDM versions that might help here?
For context: we're running RDM on Windows, PPS on a recent version with Authentik as the SAML IdP.
Thanks
