Explanation about password management

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out!

My name is William and I'm here to assist you in any way I can.

I would suggest creating a Username and Password entry, which can be linked to a Host entry:


This way, when you need to edit the password of the account, you only need to edit the Credential entry, and it will update on every host linked to that credential.

As for the rmb menu, I'm not exactly sure which option you are referring to.

To better understand what you are exactly looking for, could you confirm these information:

• The data source you are currently using?
• How are you normally operating with RDM?
• How would you see RDM operate if it could do exactly what you are looking to achieve?

Best regards,

That's exactly what I meant! Thanks.
I didn't notice this menu(

But what a diffrence tool_password & password?

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

The $PASSWORD$ variable refers to the password of the configured credential of the entry.

The $TOOL_PASSWORD$ variable refers to the password set in the Tools section of the entry.


Let us know if that helps to understand these 2 variables.

Best regards,

Got it. But none of them works with storage password. I also tried to change default>storage at Tools tab.

Hello,

Thank you for your follow-up.

Could you please share a screenshot of your configuration under Entry properties > Management tools > Tools? This will help me assist you further.

It’s possible that the issue is related to the "Allow password in variable" setting. This option needs to be enabled both on the host entry and the linked credential entry. You can find this setting under Entry properties > Security > Security settings for each entry.

Please let me know if this helps. I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,
