RDM and an Issue with RVTools Version 4.8.1

RDM and an Issue with RVTools Version 4.8.1

Hello support,

after installing the new version of RVTools 4.8.1, RDM (version 2026.2.17) is unable to pre-fill the data into this excellent tool,
i.e., neither the IP address nor the login name and password.
The documentation, available here:
https://downloads.dell.com/RVTools/Rvtools.pdf
states that a new parameter, -BypassSSLCheck, has been introduced,
and its absence could be the cause of this behavior.
Perhaps the parameters for command-line invocation have also changed, but I’m not sure.
Everything you need can be found in the above-mentioned document starting on page 117.

Please fix this, or at least provide an option to ignore the untrusted certificate.

Thank you very much.

P.S.
I can’t imagine doing my work without RDM...

Hi vladimir_holub,

Thanks for the report, and for the documentation link. RVTools is one of our Add-on session types, meaning RDM launches rvtools.exe from the command line, so a CLI change on RVTools' side (possibly beyond just -BypassSSLCheck) could explain this, similar to what happened when RVTools 4.5.0 changed how it handles passwords.

Could you help us with:

  • Confirm RDM for Windows 2026.2.17, and which workspace/data source (Devolutions Server, SQL, or Cloud)
  • Does calling RVTools directly from a command prompt with the same server/login/password (with and without -BypassSSLCheck) work?
  • Screenshot of your RVTools session config (Credentials + Advanced tabs, password masked)
  • Does the vCenter/ESXi host use a self-signed/untrusted certificate?
  • A trace via Help > Profiler > Send trace to Support (mention your forum username), or File > Settings > Advanced > Debug level if needed


Once we have that, we can tell if this needs an update on our end, and look at your suggestion for an untrusted-certificate option.

Thanks for your patience!
