SSMS v22 and SQL Server Management studio add-on

SSMS v22 and SQL Server Management studio add-on

avatar

Dear all,
At RDM, we use the SQL Server Management Studio add-on to open the SSMS application. We need to run SSMS using a CyberArk privileged account. Therefore, we use RDM to launch the process "runas SSMS.exe /user:<privileged account>".
RDM_obrazek1.jpg shows an example of our SQL Server Management Studio object configuration, as we use it.

When we launch the object configured this way, RDM correctly retrieves the credentials from CyberArk for the privileged account and launches SSMS version 22. After SSMS launches, an error appears stating that an unknown -E switch was used.

S tímto nastavením v RDM vše dobře funguje např. se SSMS verze 20.
I read that the -E switch was deprecated in version 22 and replaced by the -A switch for Active Directory authentication in the SSMS documentation. See the link to the MS documentation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ssms/ssms-utility
I would like to ask you to fix this add-on.
As a workaround, we use the Command-line (external application) object to launch SSMS under a privileged account.

Thank you
Best regards
Jakub Vácha
