Security Provider
Hello, we would like to use the security provider at our company, so that the database is useless as far as it should be stolen.
Certificates are unfortunately not an option for us, since the users do not necessarily have admin rights. So only the passphrase remains.
Is there a possibility to roll out this passphrase to the users somehow? I had the idea to set the whole thing as a registry key, but I can't do that because I can't get the data source ID, which is different for every installation.
Can anyone help me with this? Ideally, the user does not even notice that the security provider is configured.

Hello,
It's a good idea but unfortunately it's not available I've checked with the developers and the current implementation is machine specific. However, I have an idea. Do you think it could be possible to execute a command line (call remotedesktopmanager.exe) once per machine and send the passphrase as a parameter or execute a PowerShell script on each machine?

Hello David, sure that wouldn't be a problem. How can we do that?
Nice,
It's not possible for now but I think we could add this really quickly. I will create a improvement request. Which method is simpler for you (command line or PowerShell)?

Hi, I think command line would be better for us :) Thank you!
Hello,
This feature has been completed internally and should be available starting from RDM 2021.2.22.0
We have added the possibility to set the passphrase through the use of the Database ID and the Data Source ID. In your case, I believe the Database ID is the required solution. Here are command line samples for both options:
Database ID : RemoteDesktopManager64.exe /Database:B26638B2-7957-466C-192B-6621DA12179A /SecurityProviderPassphrase:Password Data Source ID : RemoteDesktopManager64.exe /DataSource:21ba3012-1cb2-42a1-a4cb-1e2c30148442 /SecurityProviderPassphrase:Password
If you experience any issues regarding this feature, please do let me know on this thread.
