Support for Privileged Accounts (CyberArk/PAM) in Macros/Scripts/Tools Execution
3 votes
We would like to request an enhancement to the Tools functionality to allow individual tools to be executed using privileged accounts from CyberArk and ideally any PAM solution.
We have already discussed this topic in the following thread:
https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/41215/rdp-secret-macro--remote-tools--tool-credential#236502
Use case:
In Remote Desktop Manager (RDM), we configure an RDP session. From the Macros / Scripts / Tools tab, we want to launch built-in tools such as Computer Management, Event Viewer, or Services against a remote server.
In the RDP session properties under Management Tools → Tools, we can select either My Privileged Account or a CyberArk PVWA entry.
However, when launching any tool from this section, it does work with CyberArk privileged account. We have also confirmed with Devolutions Support that this functionality is currently not supported.
Expected behavior:
When a privileged account (e.g., CyberArk PVWA) is configured in Management Tools → Tools, all tools launched from the Macros / Tools / Scripts tab should run under that CyberArk privileged account.
This would allow administrators to launch remote tools (Computer Management, Event Viewer, Services, etc.) without opening a full RDP session and while securely using privileged credentials managed by CyberArk (or other PAM solutions)
This improvement would significantly streamline daily administrative tasks and enhance secure privileged access workflows.
Hello,
Thank you for the request. We will open a ticket for this.
