Automated Creation of AD-User in RDM Database
Disabled
Hey all,
im a bit confused right now. We are still on our way to update to the latest RDM Version (we currently run a very old version, 13.0.6.0)
On the old version we have right now we use a set User for the Database Connection.
I wanna switch to the AD Version aka Integrated Security.
Our License is a Site - Perpetual Unlimited License.
If i understood it right, the Integrated Security gives me the option, to use the Windows Credentials of the User as a Login for RDM, right?
But I NEED to add this specific user in RDMS own Database "User Management".
Lets say User X is starting the RDM Application, but its nots created in RDM Database as a User who has access to the Data Source. This user wont be able to get access aslong I dont create an entry in RDMs Database? Is there a way to automate this, that if one user from the AD starts the RDM, its able to autoconnect to the Data Source?
If more Info is needed, im happy to give them.
Regards,
Furkan

Hello,
You are right that with the Integrated Security option, it uses the current logged user Windows Credentials to connect with RDM on the SQL data source. And yes, if the account doesn't already exists in the data source, the login attempt will fail.
The Automatic User Creation feature exists with the Devolutions Server advanced data source only.
With a SQL data source like you use, it is sadly not possible to automatically create the user account on his first login attempt. A workaround would be to use PowerShell to import multiple accounts from AD in a batch.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey,
thanks for the reply!
From quick checking out a Devolution Servers, its a Server running on Prem in my network to have more advanced options to configure my Data Sources, in this case to automate the login?
"A workaround would be to use PowerShell to import multiple accounts from AD in a batch."
- You mean to import AD Accounts into the RDM Database with a PS Script? Which module would be needed for this? Thanks!
Hello,
Devolutions Server is a front end application that offers much more than just the automated login.
To import AD accounts using PowerShell in the RDM database, you need the RDM PowerShell module available on PSGallery. Here is the online documentation about it.

You will find some PS scripts in the PowerShell forum's section.

Hey,
to be sure, If i would get "Devolutions Server", it would be an On Premise Solution, right?
Like its not a cloud product, connecting to your servers etc? Everything would run in our network?
Thanks!
Hello,
Exactly, Devolutions Server is an on-premise solution deployed internally on your network.
