Offline Vaults

Hello Daniel.

I assume for the second vault the option Offline zulassen is not enabled at
Administration => Tresore => Bearbeiten
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/administration/vaults-overview/#create-a-vault

This is the second vault...

Hello Daniel,

As I can see, you're using Devolutions Server as data source and it seems the Sicherheitsstufe for this vault is set to Hoch.
If yes, this prevents the usage of the offline mode: https://docs.devolutions.net/server/web-interface/administration/security-management/vaults/general/#edit-vault-settings

Ok, that was the problem. Thanks!
Is there a way to change this for all vaults or do I have to change the settings for all 140 vaults manually?

Hello Daniel,

It is possible to change the values at once with the PowerShell module
https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Devolutions.PowerShell/2024.3.6

New-DSSession -BaseUri https://URLofYourDVLS -UseOAuth

after you've successfully authenticated with an (admin)user you can execute the following PS command:

$vs = Get-DSVault -All
foreach ($v in $vs){
  $v.RepositorySettings.VaultSecurityLevel = 'Standard'
  $v.RepositorySettings.VaultType = 'Vault'   
  update-DSVault -InputObject $v
}

It selects every vault and changes the security level to Standard

Please create a database backup before you run the script, just in case! 😉

Installed Powershell Module, but get the following error...

New-DSSession : Der Befehl "New-DSSession" wurde im Modul "Devolutions.PowerShell" gefunden, das Modul konnte aber
nicht geladen werden. Wenn Sie weitere Informationen wünschen, führen Sie "Import-Module Devolutions.PowerShell" aus.

Hello Daniel,

Please run the following command to import the module to your PS session:

Import-Module Devolutions.PowerShell

PS: in the New-DSSession command please also adjust the https://URLofYourDVLS string according to your DVLS URL

Thanks, but the problem was, that Windows always started the old 5.x Powershell instead of 7.x

Hello Daniel,

Thanks for the hint! Yeah it could be indeed necessary: https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell/rdm-powershell/change-default-powershell-version

But after this adjustment the PowerShell command worked on your side?

Yes, didn't have to import the module. I didn't test the vault security code yet, was was able to authenticate.

Besides the security level, is there also a way to bulk enable offline?

Thanks and best regards

Hello Daniel,

After executing the provided script, the vaults are all set to allow offline (this setting is handled by the vaults' security level)

You can also create an Application identity for the authentication (please note, for the above script, the identity need administrator permissions)
