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? Thanks Sam

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,

Multiple jump-host problem

We're having trouble configuring multiple jump hosts in the program. We've added two IP addresses—for two jump hosts—to the VPN/tunnel/gateway - SSH gateway entry. (Currently, due to the aforementioned issues, we only have one entry) [image] It seems that the connection is established starting from the top of the list, and if the first jump host isn't available, the connection doesn't switch to the second jump host. [image] I'm not sure, but the same thing happens if the “Detect reachable host in wait” option is selected. The question is: did we configure something incorrectly, is this how it's supposed to work, or is it a software bug?

HTTP error 422 when updating entry credentials

I got the following error today: "A non pam vault entry update forbid metadata keys." It was during updating an entry's credentials. A teammate created a web entry in his local data source. He entered his own credentials, apparently from his own vault in the data source. He then copy/paste'd the entry from his data source into the Hub data source ( why did he do it that way is a different topic related to disappearing entries when losing internet connection ). We agreed that we will replace the credential of the Hub's entry by the credential drawn from a user's vault (everybody has their own account). When editing the above entry in Hub data source (through RDM), I got error "Unable to find the credential entry; this setting will be lost" - this one is okay for me. When editing the entry, the "Credentials" was set to "Linked (vault)", the value was empty (expected). I changed it to "Find by name (user vault)". I entered the entry name as agreed with the teammate. I clicked OK and the following error appeared. I am unable to change the credentials of the entry to anything else - I tried "Username and password", "None", but the error still appears. The only workaround for now is to create a brand new entry and delete this one. [image]

Compatibility with Wallix => missing change password on tree folder or possibility to set secret in password

I my company we use a Wallix solution to manage servers. The configuration is possible with Remote Desktop Manager. But it required to have the server name in the user Name. ex: Host : wallix.global.mycompany RDP: Normal User Name : Interactive@ serveurName :RDP:A_GROUPADMIN:Login@domain.ad Password : ******** So if you have 50 servers to joint, the credential couple (user name / Password) change for each server. And I cannot use the credential manager provide in Remote Desktop Manager with one only user. So I should replicate the password 50 times in every RDP properties. It works fine, but every time the password change I have to reapply the password in all the 50 configurations. It is why I suggest to add one of this 2 fonctionnalities. => give the possibility to use a secret key in the password field. It is possible to use a variable in User name (ex Interactive@ serveurName :RDP:A_GROUPADMIN:$USER$@domain.ad) but it do not work for the password. => or give the possibility to replace the password (and only the password) in all the configurations store in a folder (recursively) or at the Local DataBase level. Perhaps there is an other simple way to manage it, but I don't find it.

Copy Username and Password not working

Hi everyone. I have issues with the copy paste, and historickly we have had issues with the funcion for a long time. But now, it dosent work at all for me. Is is only the "Username and password" that doesent work, the user or password one at a time works fine. I have tried the "Clipboard Diagnostics". Paste once or twice, there is no other application taking the content: Clipboard - CopyMethod : PasteOnce Clipboard - Paste Once - Count : 1 Clipboard - Empty Clipboard - Promise - Format : 50098 Clipboard - Promise - Format : 49666 Clipboard - Promise - Format : 49665 Clipboard - Promise - Format : 49954 Clipboard - Promise - Format : 50093 Clipboard - Promise - Format : 13 I hope you have a good input for solving this.

So it works perfectly with Notepad, but not with Chrome. Why? In Chrome’s case, the clipboard is opened from a sandboxed renderer/utility process that does not expose a top-level visible HWND (0). Because of that, it gets blocked from receiving clipboard data. There’s nothing we can do on Chrome’s side, so the workaround must be done in RDM. The only solution is to enable the option Disable null requester check (advanced) . You may first need to set the Clipboard copy method to Paste once (secure) to enable the checkbox. This is just a workaround for a UI bug. Once Disable null requester check (advanced) is enabled, you can switch the Clipboard copy method back to Legacy if you want. The Clipboard copy method settings only affect how Copy username and Copy password behave. The Copy username & password action must always use Paste once (secure) , as it is the only method that works for that feature. So what does this option actually do? When isable null requester check (advanced) is enabled, RDM allows clipboard copy/paste operations for applications that do not, cannot, or refuse to identify themselves properly. This does weaken the protection globally, not just for Chrome. However, if you want to use Copy username & password with Chrome, there is currently no other choice. Best regards, [image]

Convert entry from RDP to SSH (or other way around)

Hi, Is it possible to convert an RDP session entry to SSH or the other way around? What I mean with that, suppose I make an entry for a RDP session. I enter the ip adres, the credentials etc. but after making the entry I find out that the server for which I make the entry isn't a RDP host but a SSH host. So in this case I just need to flip the protocol for that entry from RDP to SSH and save it. Is such a thing possible?

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?

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]

MS SQL Server Remote Management Session Type not working as expected

The recently added MS SQL Server Remote Management session (RDM 2025.2.x versions) doesn't seem to work correctly when trying to use user vault credentials. When I create a new session in the following configurations, the session does not work as expected Scenario 1: Credentials: "Username and password" Host: Server's FQDN Login Mode: "Integrated Security (Active Directory)" Result: Session opens as the same user running RDM, with no database or management access. Scenario 2: Credentials: "Find by name (user vault)" Host: Server's FQDN Login Mode: "Database login" (this is the default, and it is greyed out unless "Username and password" is selected like in Scenario 1) Result: Login attempt uses username from the user vault, but doesn't recognize it as an Active Directory login, so the login fails. Scenario 3 (Desired configuration): Credentials: "Find by name (user vault)" Host: Server's FQDN Login Mode: "Integrated Security (Active Directory)" (I tried setting this before changing the other drop-down off of "Username and password") Result: Logged in as the same user running RDM, with no database or management access. It doesn't use the user vault credentials at all. We're running RDM 2025.2.14.0 on Windows, attached to Devolutions Server 2025.2.2.0. Is there any way to get this session type to use Active Directory Authentication with the user vault credentials? Thank you!

Multiple Re-Authentication prompts when switching network

Hello, We are using RDM with DPS as datasource and configured DUO MFA. Some users have their docking station connected through a wired LAN connection. When they dock out, they connect to WLAN. When switching the network with docking in or out, RDM requires a reauthentication. This would not be an issue - except that it is not one prompt but multiple. Sometimes I receive 5-6 DUO MFA prompts at the same time. I don not know if it is connected to the amount of remote sessions open in RDM at the time. After switching, all RDP sessions are closed anyway. We also had cases, where the DPS and DUO accounts were locked because the prompts were not confirmed and just continued until the lockout.

Instability in RDM and RDConnection

Is anyone also experiencing any stability issues with RDM today? I downloaded and installed the latest version to see if that would help, it has not. But for some reason RDM has been acting very strange today. I use RDM to manage several dozen windows servers, both on site and on Azure. I typically have 5-10 remote connections active at any one time, Historically RDM has been a life saver, today not so much. When I try and close a connection to a server, it seems to hang up, and it is very difficult to get RDM to shutdown. The issue seems to be associated with closing an RDP connection. Many time I have had to log out and back on to clear RDM from the task list. At first I thought it might be associated with some MS issued update, as I noticed that most of the servers were wanting to reboot after installing updates. In the end I did manage to get the servers updated and rebooted. But the problem has persisted on the fully patched and rebooted servers. I have been forced to manage the servers via Remote Desktop Connection. But even then RDC behaves oddly when terminating a session. Hence my suspicion the issue might be related to RDP itself. Any insights, or suggestions? Thanks All
