I've created a template for RDP connections via a CyberArk host. The $Quick_Connect$ variable is used as part of the alternate shell rather than as the host, the host is static.
However when connecting it's still using the quick connect as the host. Anyone have any ideas on what I've done wrong?
Host setting:

Alternate Shell setting:

Hello,
I tested in my environment and I'm experiencing similar issues...
On my side, I have set a template (RDP) with my CyberarkPSM as the Host and the variable in the /a as you did.
The connection get me to the right host (and works, before my endpoint allows the account to logon), but bypasses the PSM (so no recording is launched).
Since the template is intended to populate the host, that would explain the behavior. I'll see with the engineering team if it's possible to implement what you're looking for,
The best way to achieve something that looks like what you're trying to do, is :
create a Cyberark PSM Server entry (it also requires to create a RDP Template, can be empty...)
Create a template entry with a Cyberark PSM Connection, Select the PSM Server created before hand, In Host, set $QUICK_CONNECT$, specify the Privileged Account to use
Launch the Connection from he quick connect and select the PSM Connection template.
It worked very well on my side.
Let me know if it works for you and if it's a valid solution.
Best regards,

Hi Alex, thanks for the assistance. Any chance you could share a screenshot of the setup? I'm not entirely following.
