Documentation Requests

Hello. I need to know how I can build up a filter. Configuration - Devolutions Documentation Can I somehow specify if it's in a folder of a certain name ? Can I use wildcards ? That would greatly help me. Thank you and best regards. Marcel

Hi Documentation for setting up Devolutions Gateway configuration on Linux found here: https://docs.devolutions.net/gateway/getting-started/linux-configuration/ I have followed the guide, but stopped after: https://docs.devolutions.net/gateway/getting-started/linux-configuration/#restart-devolutions-gateway as the guide tells me that I should restart my gateway. But I noticed that I couldn't get my gateway instance running, it would deactivate itself immediately, which made me spend some troubleshooting time on why it would not start. I couldn't find any log file, and systemctl status devolutions-gateway.service just showed that the service were started and then deactivated. I luckily found a forum thread https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/50481/version-202522-on-linux-not-starting which showed me that I could just try and start the service manually (Should properly have thought of that myself). Running the command manually hinted that there could be something with my provisioner.pem, going back to the forum thread, I read that if there are errors in certificates, the gateway would exit fast. So going back to the documentation link I found the next step after where I stopped using the guide, "Connect Devolutions Gateway to Devolutions Server". After providing the provisioner.pem my gateway started and worked. So, I will suggest that the "Connect Devolutions Gateway to Devolutions Server" part is moved higher in the guide, preferably right after the installation part. and maybe, for noobs like me hint that running the gateway manually could give extra error messages. Regards.

Hi very small correction to https://docs.devolutions.net/gateway/getting-started/linux-configuration/ Under https://docs.devolutions.net/gateway/getting-started/linux-configuration/#trust-the-self-signed-certificate-on-ubuntu there is the command block cd /etc/devolutions-gateway sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates sudo cp server.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates sudo update-ca-certificate the last line is missing an "s" in the end. The correct is cd /etc/devolutions-gateway sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates sudo cp server.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates sudo update-ca-certificates Regards

Hi Guys, good article, worked like a charm. The last step for me was to reboot the server / restart the IIS service to get rid of some weird errors. Maybe just add this to the article :)

Upgraded RDM to 2025.2.13.1 I'm using SQLite as Data Source

Hello. In my view, your page is incomplete in relation to Entra ID authentication. I'm not quite sure yet, but there is more than just graph.microsoft.com that is accessed by the server. Whitelisting graph.microsoft.com is not sufficient. An answer to this forum topic points out a few other URL's. Whitelisted URL to enable user sign-in to Windows using Azure AD account? - Microsoft Q&A [image] Best regards. Marcel

My organization has purchased Keeper Password Manager. We are having a difficult time getting it to work with RDM. It appears that RDM possibly uses and relies on Keeper's Commander SDK, which is not turned on in our organization. Can you confirm?

Hello. I'm sometimes missing some usage information. It seems the browser extension, when connected to RDM, is not able to retrieve web sessions from shared vaults. If it does, then it's not specified how to configure it. This should be explicited in the documentation. Workspace browser extension with Remote Desktop Manager - Devolutions Documentation I'm usually looking into a documentation for 2 things: When I'm unsure on how to configure or do a certain task. This is usually on a very good level. When I'm looking for the use cases of a certain feature. This is usually missing in your documentation. In the sense of "what can I achieve with this feature?", "how will it help solving an issue?", "what input/ouptut/result does it require/will it generate?". Thank you. Best regards. Marcel

If you are in the Classic interface mode on MacOS, then the settings mentioned here are actually under the "preferences/settings" area under Remote Desktop Manager in the menu bar. [image] [image]

https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/installation/onboarding/ I am searching for how to trigger the OnBoarding process again if you cancel out of it, and I cannot find any information on how to do this. I assume you could add a button somewhere, or a command line switch to /relaunch the app again and force it through the onboarding again. I could not find this information

Hello. All the links I tested on this page ( Managing credentials - Devolutions Documentation ) point to an "edit" of the User Specific Settings page. Cheers. Marcel

Hello. The license server URL is missing in the doc. We work with white-listing of URL's for our servers. Best regards. Marcel

It would be very helpful to have a specific breakdown of what every permission does in the System Permissions area. For example, knowing the full breadth of what "Manage Vault" permission allows a user to do.

https://docs.devolutions.net/server/kb/how-to-articles/link-account/ The Linked account feature allows users to associate another account under the same user. This feature is particularly beneficial when a user needs to manage different accounts simultaneously.  How does this explaination make any sense, when it is not possibleto manage different accounts simultaneously? The guide even says you need to logout and login ti switch between accounts. Linked account only brings license sharing for a user with 2 logins, I can't see what else it brings? Regards Michael

Hello I saw in the Devolutions Academy and in the general documentation that you can set a password for Offline Security. Unfortunately, I could not find what the enforced policy is for the password. It would be great if a certain policy can be enforced and even better if one could require a user with the privilege of Offline Mode that a form of authentication can be used (for example Windows Hello). Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Nick
