User Specific Setttings - Credentials override
Not sure if this is a bug or my understanding is wrong here.
I have a lot of session from various types set up and nicely structured.
In order for everyone to use the same structure, we have a central SQL database hosting the RDM DB.
For every admin to be able to use their individual admin user account, I've set all nodes and sessions to "Inherited".
So a user of RDM just has to specify his credentials in only a few high level nodes of the session tree, using "User Specific Setttings - Override Credentials".
Further specifing a specific KeePass entry in My Personal Credentials.
Works fine, BUT as soon as I define another "User Specific Setttings - Override Credentials" for a different session or node, also selecting a different entry in my KeePass, this new KeePass entry is also used in the previous Override Credentials specifications.
In the end it seems, I can only ever use one single KeePass entry for all "User Specific Setttings - Override Credentials" definitions I make. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
How many Keepass entry have you created?
Did you create your keepass entry in your Private Vault?
Is it possible to post a print screen of the properties of your Keepass session.
Best regards,

Not sure what you mean with "how many Keepass entry" - I use my personal KeePass database which contains hundreds of items.
Four of which I currently plan to use with RDM: one personal user account and three other admin accounts for different domains. The password field of those is linked to the personal account entry though, as they all have the same password.
Also not sure what you mean with "Did you create your keepass entry in your Private Vault?"
I didn't touch the Private Vault at all. Instead, I used the option "My Personal Credentials" as stated above, using my open KeePass session in the following dialogs and pointing to the desired entry which was also verified successfully.
But as soon as want to select a different KeePass entry in the same KeePass DB for another session entry or node, the previously defined session also switches to the newly defined credentials.

Hello,
The My Personal Credential is a single credential entry that is saved locally on your computer. For more information, please consult http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/file_templates_mypersonalcredentials.htm
If you are using only 4 credentials from Keepass, you can create 4 credential entries in your Private Vault and configure your User Specific Settings to refer to the appropriate credential entry or if you still want to use the My Personal Credential feature, you would need to select Always prompt with list in the Credential Selection tab. However, RDM will prompt you and ask you to select the appropriate credential to connect every time.
Best regards,

Thanks a lot Jean-François!
I finally seem to understand the concept of the private vault :) And indeed, it makes sense and works as expected now.
