Remote Desktop Manager 2022.3 - BETA

Hello,

Please note that the RDM Beta is not yet compatible with Password Hub Business either. We will make an announcement once it is possible to connect to that type of data source.

Best regards,

First of all, thanks for creating such a great product. I have been enjoying it for a couple of years.

I'm a RDM Free user. I installed the new version manually via browser, as the updater executable would only find the 2022.2.26.0 "free" version. My initial issues below caused me to have to roll back to 2022.2.26.0 version for the time being.

• The installer uninstalled the "free" version as expected to install the new merged version. The shortcut for the free version didn't get removed from the ProgramData folder.
• All of my host/credential entries showed up properly, however I have to re-acknowledge all of the SSH keys upon first connect.
• I have multiple SSH->SSH->RDP connections (connect to our datacenter, then to the client's datacenter, then to the RDP target). Those connections stopped working entirely. It would connect to the gateways properly, but the RDP session would say "Connecting to" instead of "Connecting to localhost:randomport". The connections would not complete and also didn't appear to timeout. There were no error messages.
• Previously working SSH connections stopped understanding CTRL+] (the telnet close connection) command. CTRL-Z and CTRL-C continue to work properly.

Now on the other hand, the app seems a bit snappier and I dig the new look (that I could see before I had to roll back) with the rounded tabs and whatnot.

I'm happy to do some additional testing if you like -- just let me know what you'd like to see. I made no changes at all in any of the hosts or the global settings before I attempted to do the things above, which all worked fine on 2022.2.26.0 vs. 2022.3.8.0.

Hi,

greate to see the you extend the Documentation pages.
We just did a test with a copy of our data source.

We have now the problem that all of our Markdown emoji markup do not work any more.

Here is an example code ... try in old and new RDM ..... totaly differen.

Hi,

we found the same Problem as nivron.

Portforwarding for RDM via SSH does not work any more. (RDM-Client -> SSH (Portforwarding) -> Windows RDP).
The same configuration with SSH is working.

If you need more information contact me.

thx Michael

Hi,

problem with SSH and RDM could be solved.

thx Michael

Hello Nivron and Michael,

If I understand correctly, your RDP sessions have an "SSH" VPN Type in the "VPN/SSH/Gateway" section and that "SSH" VPN type is targeting an SSH Port Forward entry.

The entries with that specific setup have stopped working?

I have tried to reproduce the issue with the setup I just mentioned without success.

Would it be possible to send us an export of an entry which is not working (the full RDP and SSH setup) as to help us pinpoint the issue? You can do so safely through our filedrop here : https://devolutions.sharefile.com/filedrop

You do not need to export the credentials of your entries as we simply wish to see the general configuration. Make sure your file is named "Forum-38137" so our support department knows what to do with it.

Best Regards,

I have uploaded a file to the support department. I have a "SSH Tunnel" connection that is called by the RDP connection. The "SSH Tunnel" also uses a Gateway because of IP restrictions.

Using the new beta version, I can connect the SSH Tunnel fine manually, and via the RDP connection. When attempting to use the RDP connection in the beta, I get "Connecting to" infinitely as opposed to "Connecting to localhost:XXXXX" like I do in 2022.2.26.0.

Hello,
We have fixed many things in the new beta release and some others fixes are coming next week. Hub Business, Hub Personal and DOD are now supported with this release.

Here is the blog about RDM Free and RDM Enterprise merge:

https://blog.devolutions.net/2022/10/news-remote-desktop-manager-is-changing-for-the-better/

Breaking changes:

• Statusbar color no longer supported

I am curious: why?

Thanks.

Hello,
We have updated the theme and it's use a set of predefined color group and the taskbar use the same than the ribbon backcolor. So when we change the statusbar color, there is some ugly side effect that I can't avoid.
Here is an example:



It's not longer possible to just change the statubar backcolor and I go go back the previous theme.

Hello David,

I can conform that beta 2022.3.10.0 still contains the blurry SSH-display, as described in this thread.

Good morning,

I have installed the new 2022.3.10.0 version. I can confirm that I still have all of the issues I posted previously (icon for "Free" doesn't get removed from ProgramData, SSH tunnel-->RDP doesn't work, CTRL+] doesn't work, etc.). I had previously submitted my RDM file for analysis. I will also send screenshots of a blank upgrade finish window (the one that has the "Launch RDM now" checkbox, along with a "Connecting to..." screenshot.

I don't know if this problem existed in .8, but when launching one of the RDP sessions that just continually sits in the "Connecting to" state, their tabs don't get focused like a connected session does. I seem to remember even the "Connecting to" part getting focus when launching it.

Hello Nivron,

Thank you for keeping us updated. We have received your export but have not had the time to work on this issue just yet. We will work on this as soon as possible and keep you updated on the progress.

Best Regards,

Hello,

If you are using Devolutions Server as a date source, the 2022.3 beta is now available: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/38175/version-2022300-october-17th-2022

Let us know if you run into any issues!

Best regards,

Hi Michael,

For the RDP -> SSH tunnel issue, could you please go in your SSH Tunnel settings, enable logging (tab Logs), retry the connection, and send us the resulting logs file ? We can't exactly replicate your issue at the moment, so this could be of great help.

Once that is done, could you go in File -> Options -> Types -> Terminal and enable the option "Use legacy terminal" at the very bottom. This could solve your issue, and if so would give us a better understanding of the cause.

Regards

Has the Secret Server SAML Auth request made it into this beta yet? Thanks!

See: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/37379/secret-server-mfa

Hello Dan,

The Secret Server SAML integration is not yet completed. We do not have an ETA yet when it will be available, unfortunately.

I've uploaded the gateway log.

I can confirm "Use legacy terminal" doesn't have the CTRL+] issue.

Also, I hadn't checked the application log before, but I get this every time I try to connect with 3.8 and 3.10. I also hadn't tested just a regular RDP connection, but those don't work either. It's not dependent on the SSH tunnel for the failure.

Alright thanks for sending the logs, this should help us clear things out. Could you go in File -> Options -> Types -> Remote Desktop, and set the option "Enable API hooking" to "Disabled". We've had an issue similar to this recently and that was the cause.

That worked. I can get into local RDP sessions and the SSH tunneled ones now. Odd that I never had that issue on previous versions.

Hi Michael,

Glad we could at least get it working for you, but we'd still like to find the root cause of your issue. Would you mind sending us a screenshot of your RDP settings in File -> Options -> Types -> Remote Desktop ?

Thanks!

Hello,

I noticed that this new version was always crashing when connecting to a server on a Lenovo X13s (arm64), I managed to fix the issue by disabling the API hooking.

I also attached the Remote Desktop settings if this can help.

On a side note, is there any plan to make the application fully native to Arm64? It's currently a 64-bit app, see attached screenshot.

Many thanks

Hi,

The issue causing the RDP API hooking crash has been identified, a fix will be included in the next RDM build

Best regards,

Hello. One problem I'm encountering is the inability to type into some web pages, such as typing into the password field, or an OTP field. This occurs when the back end engine is chrome but MS Edge seems to work, however, I do think that I encountered it where I could not type into a MS Edge based website.

When this occurs it will not take any keyboard input BUT I can right click and paste into that field (but cannot CTRL + V)

Is there a Beta version of the new Powershell module available as this is no longer packaged with RDM?

Hi,

The new RDM PowerShell module is available on PSGallery.

Hi,

Thanks Jonathan, The PSGallery link only has up to version 2022.2. This version does not seem to connect to either a DVLS or RDM datasource that is on version 2022.3. You just receive "ERROR SILENT WebAPI returned null" messages in the log. Is there currently a Beta version that is compatible with the 2022.3 beta?

Oh, sorry, I missed that.
There's no official beta version freely accessible online but I'll send you one privately.

Hello everybody,
RDM 2022.3.15.0 is now officially released

https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager/home/download

Hello,

I installed v2022.3.15.0 on 2 different PCs (Win10 and Win7), and the result is CATASTROPHIC on both !!!
As soon as launched, RDM also launches tons (more than 50 !) msedgewebview2 processes till the whole RAM (16GB !) is filled...
And of course, RDM is totally unresponsive !

With v2022.2.xx, there was also some (a dozen) msedgewebview processes, but none was swallowing RAM and processor resources...

RDM is simply now putting my computers on the knees...
Please, help !

On a side note, is there any plan to make the application fully native to Arm64? It's currently a 64-bit app, see attached screenshot.

Many thanks

Yes! Remote Desktop Manager 2022.3 now includes Windows ARM64 support. If you use the installer, it will automatically enable it, but if you use the .zip file, you need to run the OptimizeRDM.ps1 script as admin post-installation to enable native ARM64 execution for the Remote Desktop Manager .NET executable. All the native libraries used by RDM have been properly ported to ARM64:
