Cerby Password Manager

Hello,
Thank you for your suggestion. We will monitor this thread to see if more people are interested.

Regards

Cerby's customer list is growing and replacing LastPass at significant corporations. Being an early partner with Cerby will open new doors to opportunities to capture new RDM clients from less agile Devolutions competitors as more companies switch to Cerby and will seek that integration.

I will try it.

I just signed up to say that is important to us as well.

Bel from Cerby here (I head up Product).

We'd like to integrate with Devolutions to enable our shared customers. Do you offer an open SDK we could leverage to accelerate the Devolutions/Cerby integration? We'd be happy to do the heavy lifting + development on our end.

I've seen the benefits of using Cerby Protect firsthand, and I think it would be a valuable addition to the supported password managers. Can we explore this idea further?

As someone who cares about online security, I recommend considering Cerby Protect for our list of password managers. It's a strong option that many users would find valuable.

Hey, I just saw this thread.
I've been using Cerby for the past year and it's an excellent cybersecurity solution. I really like their enrollment-based approach to enterprise security.
I'd recommend adding it to the list of supported password managers.

I've been using Cerby as my password manager, I'd love to see Remote Desktop Manager support it as an option for us.

I think Cerby would be a fantastic addition to the list of supported password managers.

I'm glad to see your interest, there is no SDK for now but if you want to help, you could create a small .NET application with theses functions:

• Login to Cerby
• List all the Cerby items and have unique ID
• Get the credentials from an item

Regards

Thanks, David! Appreciate the guidance.

Cerby Protect has an excellent reputation for password security. Could we discuss the possibility of making it an officially supported password manager on this forum?

David,

Thank you again for the guidance below!

A question for you. My team has started working on the .NET application with those functions, but I did have a question about timing. One specific shared customer requires our platforms to work together by November 13th. How long before this date would you need the sample .NET application to accommodate these timelines, assuming there is bandwidth and appetite for doing so?

I am happy to converse directly via email as well, if preferred.

Hello,
We have our next major release planned for mid-october and if you are able to deliver a small .NET lib by the end of the month, we should be able to integrate it. Usually the trickiest part is the login, especially if you support SSO.

Regards

Thank you, David! This helps, and we'll aim for the end of the month.

Best,

Bel

David,

Another question for you regarding supporting SSO (w/ Okta, in this case) - what is the best way to support this with Devolution? In the past we’ve done this via opening browser to create the necessary JWT token. Is this the recommended path or is there a better way to do it with your capabilities? 

Happy to do a quick 10 minute Zoom to go into more detail, if helpful. 

Hello Belsasar,

The path you have proposed is fine with us.

Best Regards,

Thanks, Michael!

I see that Cerby is now an option in the Windows client but not the Mac client. A couple of issues:

1) The windows client doesn't seem to be working (Windows client 2023.3.24.0) as I get a Blank Screen when I try to select the credential I want to associate with the Cerby entry (Devolutions Ticket 00045393)

2) I don't see a Mac option for Cerby (Devolutions Ticket 00045393)

Hello,
Could you verify if you have WebView2 installed and updated? This is used to login to Cerby.

For now, there is no plan for a Mac version. This might change later but for now we want to focus on the Windows version and tweak the integration.

Regards

Hello again
Could you verify in the profiler if you get any error when you open Help->Profiler?

Regards

Hi David.

Thanks for the quick reply. When I try to install WebView2, it says it's already installed.

HI David,

This is what I have for the Profiler

Hi David. Thank you for providing the app. I was able to authenticate but I'm not able to select an account. I receive the message below.

Could you paste the detail message to have the full stack?

Hello,
I'm curious to ask if your workspace setting respect this format in RDM:

https://???.cerby.com

Regards

I'll relay that question to Cerby. Thanks. If there's anything else you can think of, please let me know.

Hi David. I'm using the test application you posted above and need to test with another account but no matter what I do, (e.g. clicking on the "Authenticate" or "Clear Cache" button or even if I change the Workspace address to anything different) doesn't clear my settings. I continue to get results from the original account I used in my initial testing. Is there a temporary file that my old info is being saved to or anything else I can do. I tried to delete the folder with all the files and unzip new files but I get the same thing.

Hello,
you can delete the temp file created by webview2. It's in the installation folder. I can verify with them if they provide us an API to clear it without clearing the cache,

Regards

Here is a quick update to let you know that we are currently working with Cerby for the macOS integration.

Regards

Thanks for the update.
