Extend CyberArk Dashboard to Support Full Credential Binding Scenarios

Extend CyberArk Dashboard to Support Full Credential Binding Scenarios

Hello Devolutions Team,
I would like to submit a feature request regarding the CyberArk integration in Remote Desktop Manager.

Context :
In our environment, we need to use CyberArk PVWA entries in RDM to bind accounts to connections.
However, this approach has an important limitation:
Binding a CyberArk account via a PVWA credential entry :

  • Works well for RDP (PSM-based sessions)
  • But it does not fully support other use cases, particularly:
    • Web connectors (non-HTML5)
    • Other connection types requiring structured credential binding

As a result, we are forced to rely on PVWA entry configuration for binding, which is not flexible enough to cover all connection scenarios.
At the same time, the CyberArk Dashboard provides a much better experience for browsing and selecting accounts—but it cannot be used today to persistently bind credentials to entries.

Problem :
There is currently no unified way in RDM to:

  • Select a CyberArk account
  • Bind it to an entry
  • Reuse it consistently across all connection types (RDP, Web, others)

This creates a split usage model:

  • PVWA entries for binding (limited)
  • Dashboard for browsing (non-persistent)


Feature Request :
We would like to see the CyberArk Dashboard enhanced to support full credential binding capabilities, so it becomes the single interface for all use cases.

Key idea :
Allow selecting a CyberArk account from the Dashboard and binding it directly to RDM entries, regardless of connection type.

Suggested UX :
From an entry or folder (primary use case)

  • Right-click on an entry (or folder)
  • Select:
    • “Select credentials from CyberArk Dashboard”

This would:

  • Open the CyberArk Dashboard selector
  • Allow choosing an account
  • Automatically bind it as a PVWA-linked credential


Bulk support (important) :

  • If applied to a folder, the binding would:
    • Apply to all child entries
    • Enable large-scale updates


Expected Outcome :

  • Remove dependency on PVWA entry configuration for binding
  • Enable consistent credential usage across:
    • RDP (PSM)
    • Web connectors (including non-HTML5 scenarios)
    • Other connection types
  • Make the CyberArk Dashboard the central interface for both discovery and binding


Benefits :

  • Unified workflow (discover → bind → use)
  • Better support for real-world CyberArk usage
  • Reduced manual configuration effort, and manual account selection
  • Improved efficiency when managing multiple entries
  • Better alignment with environments not relying on HTML5


Please find attached a screenshot illustrating how credential binding is currently performed manually through PVWA entries :

Thank you !

Hi,

Thank you for the detailed feedback; it is much appreciated.

We are always looking for new ways to bring value and, as such, will seriously consider your feature request.
To that effect, I've created an improvement ticket in our pipeline to evaluate what can be done. I can't, however, provide an ETA.

Regards
