VPN/tunnel/gateway connect settings not respected when Jump host session is active.

Hi guys, Let me start by thanking you for the great products and Remote Deskopt Manager in specific. But even great products can have unexpected behavior, or at least unexpected behavior for me. Some of our servers are only accessible over RDP when connected to our office network. When I'm out of the office I cannot even access these servers over VPN. The only way to access these servers is by using a Jump host. I configured my RDP entries like this, to use the Jump host only when I'm not connected to the local network: [image] [image] When I'm outside the office and check if the host is online, I get this expected result: [image] As expected when I connect to this server, this prompt appears: [image] When I click Yes, RDM first connects to the Jump host and opens the RDP entry within. However, the following behavior is unexpected. Regardless of whether I am inside or outside the office network, as soon as I have an active RDP connection to the jump host, all entries configured this way are opened within the Jump host. Even though "check if host is online" returns this: [image] This behavior is not limited to RDP entries but also extends to other types, including SSH Shell.

Online\Offline Icons?

For the life of my I swear I used to be able to enable an option that shows the icon next to an asset as green for online or red for offline. Anyone able to help point me in the right direction?

Hi mcmasterslj , What you're describing sounds like the Is Online feature. Here's how to enable it: Go to File → Background Services → Is Online . Check Enable check for server availability . Once enabled, RDM will ping (or port scan, depending on your detection method) each entry's host. Per our documentation, hosts that are not reachable are shown in red in the tree view. You can also set Execute automatic check every X minutes so this runs on a schedule instead of manually. Under Online detection , choose between Ping or Port scan as the method used to determine availability. Could you confirm a couple of things so we can make sure this matches what you're after: Which RDM version are you currently running, and which workspace type are you using (DVLS, SQL, or Cloud)? Once you enable this and the host comes back online, does the icon turn green in your tree view? I want to confirm that on your version, since I can only confirm the red "unavailable" state from our documentation. If it's still not behaving as expected after enabling this, feel free to share a screenshot of your Background Services settings and we'll dig further. For reference, here's our documentation on this feature: https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/file/background-services Best regards,

Pop-Up Prompt Windows Not On Same Scree

I use 4 montiors, often repositioning RDM (and/or sub-windows) across them. It seems more recent that message pop ups do not follow the screen that they are on. So I do something on screen 1, looking at screen 1, but the pop-up stopping me from proceeding is on screen 2.

Passwordstate integration issues since RDM 2026.2.x

Hello, We are having some issues with the latest versions of RDM, in that a password entry pointing to a Passwordstate server (still version 9.x) is misbehaving. We used to set a user specific login/password at the root of a connections tree (with inheritance enabled), and this login/password combo is normally collected from an entry in one of the Passwordstate lists. The Passwordstate password entry, located in the user vault, is configured so that it is not pointing directly to a given Passwordstate list. However, what normally occurred is that the user set in the root of connections tree a particular entry from a Passwordstate list (that is, he/she browse the Passwordstate entries until he/she gets to the desired credential), and this selection lasted from then on. Now, instead, whenever a connection is open, in which the resulting credential is coming from Passwordstate, the following dialog is presented, and not just once, but on every time a connection is to be made to the Passwordstate server: [image] We have always confirmed the data shown with the Save button, using as the save location Database (or Default (Database) combo selection, which is the same), but eventually the configuration is never saved properly, and the dialog reappears at the next iteration. BTW, by confirming the data in the dialog, the correct credential entry is finally retrieved from Passwordstate and injected in the opening session. We are asking if there is some log we could check for potential issues, or other suitable known workarounds. Thanks.

Copy & Paste within SSH session

Hello. I made a setting yesterday that worked like a champ, but when I closed down RDM, I guess it did not save. I have a few SSH shell entry sessions with SFTP set to automatically open the file transfer window (I move stuff back and forth quite a bit), with default folders both local and remote. Every new SSH shell entry I create, when I copy something from my local machine and do a Ctrl-V in the SSH shell terminal window, I get the "^V", and I have to right-click and Paste in the SSH terminal window. Yesterday, I obviously changed something, somewhere, that allowed me to do a simple Ctrl-V of my keyboard in the SSH shell terminal window, and it pasted my clipboard contents. What change did I do for that, and where do I find it again!?

SSH and local keys

I'm trying to secure some of my SSH connections with a certificate and for the life of me i can't get it to work with RDM... I have the key in my .ssh folder, it shows up in the SSH key manager (local), it's loaded into the SSH key agent (not sure if this is needed, but i did it anyways), but no matter what i put for the options in the connection, i can't get it to connect, it just says [image] If i use PowerShell in windows, i can connect just fine.

Favorites pane entries for Server and Username and Password entries does not allow editing & saving - 2026.02.13

In the most recent RDM versions, the Favorites pane entries for (at least) Username and Password Credential Management and RDP Sessions, the Favorites panel does not allow editing the linked entry. It will open the panel for editing and saving, let you edit the entry to say update the password (ours are updated daily) and it looks like it saves but it does not, and history tracking confirms no changes. I have to scroll down my primary pane to edit the entry. (No point in having my daily password entry to change available in Favorites like this. :-) ) Currently on RDM version 2026.02.13, but I think the last build version (or two ?) had this problem also. Thank you, Christopher

Favorites pane not refreshing connection status consistently 2026.02.13 and older

The favorites pane for a good number of previous versions is not refreshing connection status consistently. For a while of previous versions, if I clicked on the Favorites pane entry, it would refresh, now the only time I (seem to) get their status to refresh is if I lock the RDM application and unlock it again. Currently on version 2026.02.13 Thank you, Christopher

Save certificate as... broken in RDM 2026.2

Hi, Since I've upgraded to 2026.2 I can't save my certificates from RDM anymore. When I click on "Save certificate as..." and try to choose the file I want to save the certificate to I've got an error from the explorer saying the file doesn't exist. Of course the file doesn't exist yet because it's the whole point to export a new file. Kind regards

Stored credential for Yubikey doesn't work in version 2026.2.14.0

Hi, Today we upgraded to the newest version of the free edition, and since then the Yubikey entries stored in the Credential Vault give the error message "An authentication error has occurred. Authentication failed because NTLM authentication has been disabled." When I try to logon with user/password and then I choose the Yubikey entry, then it works ok, only the entry stored in the vault produces the error message. I tried several things, but none of them helped: I tried to change the entries from hostname to FQDN I enabled the local resource "Smart Cards or Windows Hello for Business" Tried to re-create the credential entry, however by pushing the "Test configuration" I get the correct certificate that is also stored on the Yubikey I tried to change the default RDP type in the general configuration None of these helped. When I uninstall the new version and install the previous one 2026.2.13.0 it suddenly starts to work again. Did anyone had the same or similar experience? Do you have any ideas how to solve the issue? Thanks!

a day ago

Hello I'll just follow up on what my colleague wrote - I'm a little confused by the error and the answers to Tommy's questions will be important here. However, I have one further suggestion; you can switch back to 2026.2.14 or later and try opting-out of the fix that Tommy mentions? To do this Close RDM completely Locate the RemoteDesktopManager.cfg file (typically in %localappdata%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager) Make a backup of that file before editing it Before the closing </Option> tag, add the line <DisableSmartCardKerbCertificateLogon>true</DisableSmartCardKerbCertificateLogon> Save the file and relaunch RDM Do things work correctly again? This is valuable information because ti will show us that it's this fix causing an issue for you, and also give you a viable workaround for upgrading to and past .14 for now. Let me know if something isn't clear Kind regards,

If you put the cursor to the right of 10.152.0 and back space twice it adds the 0 back. I would suggest stop auto filing these fields. Very annoying. [image]

How to add command to session right-click context menu

At one time, someone told me how to add the "Disconnect" command to the right-click context menu for a Remote Desktop session tab. But, now I can't remember how to do it. I've searched for about an hour and can't figure it out. Any help? I would like to remove some of the other commands/menu items to make it easier to find the commands that I want to use. For example, I need to use "Send Ctrl+Alt+Del" and it can't be added to the quick access toolbar; so, I'm trying to declutter the menu where it does appear. If I could move it out of a submenu, that would also help.

RDM MCP — RDM_execute_opened_connection_action not working on SSH sessions

Hi, Is RDM_execute_opened_connection_action expected to be functional in the current experimental MCP version, or is it still work in progress? If it should work — is there a known workaround or additional configuration required? Version: Remote Desktop Manager 2026.2.8.0 Feature: MCP Server (experimental) Issue Calling RDM_execute_opened_connection_action on an active SSH (SSHShell) session always returns a generic error, regardless of the action used. The connection is visible in RDM_list_opened_connections and all actions (send_command, get_terminal_status, take_screenshot) are listed as available via RDM_list_opened_connection_actions — but none can be executed. Example call json { "actionName": "send_command", "connectionIds": ["b22f1d22-22e2-4bfs-b2cf-222e6c1d7151"], "parameters": { "command": "date", "captureOutput": true, "timeout": 30000 } } Error: An error occurred invoking 'RDM_execute_opened_connection_action'. Same error occurs for get_terminal_status and take_screenshot. RDM was in the foreground with the SSH tab active. BR DI

Master password is being mangled on save

[update: if I save, and then exit RDM and restart it, the password is now the expected one.] I use inherited credentials for the RDP sessions under a master folder. For years I've updated the password when it expires without problem. Today, for some reason, the password is getting mangled after I save it. Halp! ( these passwords are no longer valid, of course ) [image]

Claude Code, OSC 52, Copy Text

So, this quickly escalated beyond my knowledge areas, but I have seen workarounds in other environments, so would love to an RDM solution: SSH via RDM to Debian 13 Run tmux run Claude Code select text, does not go to clipboard (like it does in ssh sessions otherwise) From my searches, it has to do with OSC 52 output. There is even a popup in CC that says: sent 436 chars via OSC 52 . if paste fails, hold Shift (Option in iTerm2, Fn in Terminal. app) while selecting for native copy but not seeming to work with RDM. See this bug on anthropic: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/62699 And this about going to /tui default (which I have not done for a couple other reasons): https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/62462

Password List Search issue

Good day, We've recently updated to 2026.2.13.0 from the old 2026.1.22.0 and noticed the search in Password List stopped searching in the Description field. 2026.2.14.0 also does not We have several Password Lists where we search througout the different fields "Username", "Domain" and "Description". Is it possible to modify the search component so we can search in all the fields again? Please let me know if you need any more information. Thanks! Sander

Rapid Switching of Tabs on Own

See video here: https://knoweth0127.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Recording+2026-07-16+214241.mp4 (not sure how else to show this). Note that for the first 9s the right tab is the only one selected. Simply hovering the mouse over the left one causes the screen flicker. Obviously not desired! This is not consistent. It does seem most likely to happen when more than 1 tab in a separate window and then computer locked for a while.
