RDP entry import in version 2026.1.10
We've noticed that the password is missing from the import functionality of an RDP entry.
This (Daily Use) functionality worked in all previous versions.
Import > Import into vault (.rdm)
The default section/tag containing the password is for importing the .rdm file below:
and where rdpEntry.Password is filled with a clear txt/password
<RDP>
<ClearTextPassword>{rdpEntry.Password}</ClearTextPassword>
<UserName>{rdpEntry.Domain}\{rdpEntry.Username}</UserName>
</RDP>
When importing this file in version 2026.1.10, the password is not included in the entry (empty).
When I export an RDP entry from2026.1.10 in which I have manually added a password, I see that the <ClearTextPassword> tag is a secure/encrypted value?
<RDP>
<ClearTextPassword>gn5*ti9!!1Gv!!PDrhglced=f47U*YJfa</ClearTextPassword>
<SafePassword>+MhXvKUzqy1vzBCczgKx2Aw42Mxxxxxxx</SafePassword>
<UserName>bxxxn\AdminFFFFFaa0e</UserName>
</RDP>
Has anything changed in the new version that imports RDP entries, or should a different layout/addition be made in the .rdm file?

Hello,
Nothing have changed but ClearTextPassword is not in the Sub section RDP but directly into Connection:
<Connection>
<ClearTextPassword>gn5*ti9!!1Gv!!PDrhglced=f47U*YJfa</ClearTextPassword>
<RDP>
...
</RDP>
</Connection>

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply/information,
I've dug into it a bit more and see that instead of using <ClearTextPassword>, using <SafePassword>, the entry is being read correctly, including the password, in version 2026. (p.s. tags that were already in/between Connection tags) The section below in the .rdm file does include the password in the entry:
<RDP>
<KeyboardLayoutText>Standaard</KeyboardLayoutText>
<SafePassword>gn5*ti9!!1Gv!!PDrhglced=f47U*YJfa</SafePassword>
<UserName>{rdpEntry.Domain}\{rdpEntry.Username}</UserName>
</RDP>
Testing the same .rdm file importing in version 2025 then gives an RDP entry with an empty password.
Importing in version 2025.3.30
Is this intended given the 'naming' of the tag?

Hello,
the tag SafePassword is the default exported value, and ClearTextPassword is a workaround to override the password during import with a value that is not scrambled. This is used if you have an external system and need to generate a value. This is never exported by RDM; it's only read during import.
