RVTools plug in returning invalid credentials

Hello Chuck,
Perhaps they have changed the command line parameters. Could you post the command line that works for you with fake creds of course :)

Regards

My apologies. After looking in to this more this morning, it does not work with the RVTools CLI. It continues to return incorrect username or password, but I can log in with the same credentials via the RVTools GUI.

I will uninstall the Dell incorporated version and install an older RobWare version that RDM is actually looking for later today and see if it works.

So I did it quicker than later today! :-)

This is the config I have for RVTools within RDM:


That config returns the following:


Changing the above listed config to allow "Passthrough Authentication" returns the following:


Using the following CLI in a command prompt works perfectly fine with RVTools v4.3.1 (Prior to Dell takeover and still the "Robware" version).

RVTools.exe -u DOMAIN\USERNAME -p PASSWORD -s vCENTER.FQDN
or
RVTools.exe -u DOMAIN\USERNAME -p PASSWORD -passthrough -s vCENTER.FQDN

RVTools v4.5 (Latest after Dell took over) does not work in RDM or CLI. I get the same messages.

Hi Chuck,

As it turns out, it's still possible to send RVTools your password through command line, but it needs to be encrypted. See David's answer for the encryption method here : https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/41336/rdm-and-the-problem-with-the-latest-version-of-rvtools#188105

We'll look into encrypting it automatically when launching through RDM, but in the meantime you could use their powershell tool to accomplish the same.

That did it, but there's another problem.

So I have my entry set up to Export with the following selection:


As you can see above, the ... selection is greyed out and there is no way to manually type a folder, which gives the following error on Update:


Even tried as a csv file, and the same results:


Please advise.

You're right, there's no way to browse directories at the moment. Sorry about that, we'll make a fix for this in our next version.

Regards

Hello,

From version 2024.1.14.0, we will automatically encrypt the password before sending it to RVTools. (If your RVTools version is at least 4.5.0).

This will also enable the use of previously non-supported characters in their passwords, like " and \.

Good afternoon.

I upgraded my laptop to v2024.1.14.0 this morning, and it seems to now be working.

I am also providing un-encrypted credentials to RDM:


I also see that the selection for providing a directory is available:


And the outcome is successful:


HOWEVER:

It does not actually do an export:
