RDM on terminal server [roaming profiles]

Hello,

Have you configured RDM on your Terminal Server by following the steps in this help topic?
https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/installation_terminalservices.htm

Best regards,

Yes.

Still the same problem...

Hello,

When you mean that you are prompted every time you open RDM on a different server, you mean on a different Terminal Server server right?

If you connect on the same server with the same account, are your prompted for the Shared Passphrase?

The shared passphrase information is saved in the RemoteDesktopManager.cfg file. The information is encrypted in that file like the data source configuration. Since you don't have the same GUI from one server to another, this is why you are prompted for the shared passphrase on a server that is the first time that you connect.

Best regards,

This is what I wrote in the start....

I need you to fix this....

The bug is:

Combination of roaming profile under terminal services and DB passphrase does not work - keep prompting for a password.

Maybe keep it in the HKLM registry or keep multiple entries for the passphrase in the config file.

Thanks

I will assign this to a dev. I think that the registry could be a good solution.

Hi,

is this fixed in 12.6.0.0 ?

Hello,
Phillipe is still working on an updated Security Provider and unfortunately is not done yet.

Hi,
I've found that it was already possible to save the shared passphrase in the registry. You need to save it in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE



It needs to use the ID (GUID) of your data source configuration.

Sorry for the delay.

unencrypted ?


Will not pass our security policy.

I understand. As I mentioned this is a workaround. Philippe is working on another provider, what do you suggest?

Regards

what do you mean by "another provider"?

I mean the security provider. In our case we are talking about Shared passphrase v2. This version will have the passphrase encrypted in the registry.

Regards

ok, please update me when it is released

thanks

snir

I will. Thank you for your patience.

Hi,

Is my problem fixed in ver 13 ?

It supposed to. I will double check with Philippe our Security dev.

Regards

I see that there is pass-phrase v2, how do I move from ver 1 to ver 2 ?
just change the combo ?

I have 20 users using this with SQL, will they work after the change to ver 2 ?

Please make sure to backup your database first. They will need to re-enter the passphrase. You can give it a try on an empty database to see if it has all the features that you want.

Hi,

Since RDM 13, we released a new Shared Passphrase Security Provider v2 which offer the option to save the encrypted passphrase in the registry for use on terminal server:



Since it uses a new Security Provider, just make sure that you re-enter the passphrase on each computer using the security provider. Also, every user that require access to the database must user the newest version of RDM.
