Always prompted for login when opening application
Hi,
I am working on isolating all access to RDM from the locally logged on users. Instead I want each user to login with a personal domain admin account which will be used for admin work in general.
I have run into some issues when I used a generic SQL account for accessing the SQL server datasource because it looks like the local(non-admin) user still can log in to RDM, and open anything with an inherited credential?!?!
I believe I have found the solution to be:
Is that the recommended way of accomplishing what I want?
Also: At some point I did come changes that make RDM ask for username and password when starting the application, and now I cannot remove that ?
The options\application security\"no application password" is greyed out(please see screenshot)
How can I (re)enable that?
Best regards
Kenneth

Hello,
I will separate my answer in sections for easier reading and distinction between them.
SQL Authentication
Each users would need their own user to authenticate on the SQL Server database. Since you would like them to use their domain credential to authenticate on the database, indeed, using Integrated Security authentication method will be the one to select in your case.
User domain credential to authenticate on remote session
To accomplish this behavior, your users would need to create a Username / Password credential entry type inside their Private Vault and then, use the User Specific Settings feature to override the credential of the sessions so that they can authenticate using their credentials. For more information on the Private Vault and User Specific Settings, please consult https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/view_navigation_privatevault.htm and https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/edit_userspecificsettings.htm
Use Windows credentials as application password
You are not able to disable this option because the setting is enabled in your data source settings. To be able to remove this setting, please go in Administration -> Data Source Settings -> Applications and uncheck the Force application security with Windows credentials option. Then, it would be possible for you to turn off the option in File -> Options.
