Customize Tabs

avatar

Hello, is it possible to customize tabs in RDM to show the username saved with the entry.
In other words, connecting to a server using different credentials, each tab to show the credentials used for the connection.
Currently the only option I believe is to rename the entry with the username in brackets to be able to differentiate which one is which.
Thank you
Ed

Hi,

Could you try $USERNAME$? This one resolves the username once the session is opened!

To answer your other question, when you go into the properties of an entry, you'll see a "Variables" button at the bottom left, this shows all usable variables and what they do.
You can also refer to this article: https://academy.devolutions.net/student/path/1925316/activity/2668006

Let me know if this helps!

Hi,

You could use the $CREDENTIAL_LINKED_NAME$ variable in the "Name" field of your entry.

Like so:

Hi, thank you very much for the prompt response!
That's a great variable, didn't know about it, not sure if it's listed in a manual, my apologies if I missed it.
Have added the variable, and it shows correctly for individually stored credentials.
Unfortunately all creds are stored in a password list which is what it shows, the name of the password list rather than the stored names.
I assume there is no way to extract the username from the password list and showing it in the tab.
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated!
