Force Application close to all users

Hello,

Thank you, we will add this to our todo list, as it's currently not possible to do this.

At the moment, you could use the system setting to disconnect from the datasource on idle, and there is also the lock on idle feature available.

Hello Hubert, thanks for your prompt response.

Are these two options you suggesting controlled by GPO or even some registry setting? We just dont want someone to "accidently" forget to enable them.

Hello,

you find the mentioned settings in Administration => System Settings => Applications

To add on to what Min said, the logoff settings are in the System Settings, which means they will be automatically applied to all of your users connecting to this datasource. As a note, the logoff setting will only work as expected if your users don't save the password of the datasource in their configuration.

As for the lock settings, it's done on a per-user basis in File>Options>Security, there is no GPO for this one. They will also need to configure a password on RDM (or use their windows login).

Hello Hubert,

Did you manage to create a GPO setting to force the application to close after idle timeout?

Best Regards

Hello,

We still have our ticket opened for this. We will augment priority.
Did the other features (disconnect datasource, lock) not work for your case by the way?

Regards,

Hello, some users have local datasource.

Thanks for the information, that makes sense.

We will update this thread once we have an update on the GPO.

Hello Hubert,

Any news on this issue? Is case still open?

Regards

Hello,

Unfortunately, no update on this, but our ticket is still open. There's a lot of challenges with implementing this if we want to close RDM in a "clean" way, and since we haven't gotten many demands for this, we haven't yet prioritized it.

Hey Hubert,

Just to clarify what we want is a gpo to set close application when idle as show in attached picture.

Thank you for the clarification, I didn't remember we already had this option in File>Options. If this one works for you and you simply want a GPO to force it to your users, I think it should be much simpler than what I had in mind. I will raise the priority, and we will try to have it for RDM 2023.1.

Regards,

Yes that's exactly what we are looking for. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello,

We've added the GPO to close Remote Desktop Manager after a certain amount of idle time (ForceCloseOnIdle), this will be available with the upcoming version 2023.1
