Allow LAPS entries to reference credentials via "Find by Name (User Vault)"

Hello Devolutions Team,

I would like to submit a feature request regarding the usage of LAPS entries in Remote Desktop Manager.
Currently, when configuring a LAPS entry, the username must be defined explicitly. Based on feedback from your development team, it is not possible to link a credential entry to another credential entry, which limits flexibility in certain scenarios.
It would be very helpful if LAPS entries could support dynamic credential resolution, similar to the "Find by Name (User Vault)" option available in other entry types. This would allow administrators to avoid hardcoding usernames and instead reference centrally managed credential entries.

Use case:
In our environment, we aim to standardize credential management and avoid duplication. With the current limitation, we are required to maintain static usernames within LAPS entries, which reduces maintainability and increases administrative overhead.

Suggested improvement:
Introduce an option in LAPS entries to:

  • Select credentials dynamically via "Find by Name (User Vault)", or
  • Reference an existing credential entry


This would align LAPS entries with other credential handling mechanisms in RDM and significantly improve flexibility and consistency.

Thank you for considering this request.
Best regards
