Problem with password inherited and Mac Client
We have DVLS 4.5.0.0 , SQL 2016 DB and RDM 12.5.4.0 / 4.3.0.0
If we in a session set "Credentials" to "Inherited" and on the above Group/Folder specify the user and password , or if we point put a entry in "Credential repository" we cannot use the session with Mac clients. It won´t log in and giving the error message "Error: Password authentication denied"
Using RDM client on windows this works fine.
It also seems to be working fine in our old RDM environment with Mac client , but there we use SQL (2005) database directly instead of DVLS

Hi,
I just want to make sure I understand correctly. You have sessions in a DVLS data source and when you set the credentials of one of those sessions to inherited, it doesn't use the parent credentials when connecting?
You mentioned both putting the username/password and a Credential repository on the parent. Is it failing for both?
I'll have to investigate this further. I'll come back to you as soon as I find something.

Yes that is correct.
This is for Mac clients, using Windows client it works
Hi,
I've been unable to reproduce your issue.
I created a group on a DVLS server 4.5.0.0 in which I added my RDP session. I've entered my RDP credentials in said group and set the RDP credentials to inherited. I connected without issue. I also tried with a credential entry by setting the group credentials to Credential repository. Still no issue this way.
Could you make sure you do not have the Override credentials checked in the Local Specific settings of your session, group and credential entry (Right click -> Edit -> Edit Entry (Local Specific Settings)?
Just to make sure this is really an issue with the way the credential are set and not an issue between FreeRDP and your session, could you try your session with your credentials set directly in it?
Sending me screenshots of the session, group and credential entry general tab and credentials section and their hierarchy in the tree might help me better understand your setup. Don't hesitate to hide any sensitive information. I just need to see what options are set.

Hi
I missed a important thing maybe, but this is a putty (SSH) session.
Yes, assigning the username/password directly on the session or using credentials from credential repository works, but not when I use inherit from parent
Local Specific Settings is disabled from Data Source, but that setting in User Specific Settings is blank
Attaching screenshot
I can do tests with RDP also if you like
Hi,
Sorry, for some reasons, I assumed you were referring to RDP session. Though it shouldn't matter, I'll focus my effort testing with the Putty connection. We do have to convert the Putty session to our SSH Protocol (the same as the one used for the SSH Shell/SSH Tunnel/Port Forward sessions). Maybe something weird happens while doing the conversion.
I'll come back to you as soon as I find something or if I need any further information.
