Store passwords?

avatar

I've got lot's of connections in Remote Desktop Manager. Some are imported from mRemote, these have password stored and login directly. But I'm unable to add new connections via RDM and store the password. Is storing of passwords only available in the enterprise version? I mean to remember that this was available in previous versions.

Hi,
With the standard edition, the RDP password can only be stored locally. What connection type have you tried to store the password?

Standard remote desktop connections. This is a screenshot of the settings page. Both save password and clear password are disabled. It's like that on all my connections. Running version 7.0.3.0.

Could you verify if your are allow to save any password in Windows. This is a Windows policy that could be set by the Domain administrator. You can find that by going to the menu Help->Support->Diagnostic

You seem to be right:


As I said I'm quite sure I used to be able to save local passwords before. Can you please state what Group Policy that needs to be set?

Hi,
This is in the registry: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services
The key is "DisablePasswordSaving"
