After i upgraded RDP to 2026.3.5.0 64bit my SSH Shell is connecting for ages and after it connects is is unresponding. Is it me or RDM?

Hello,

Could you please give 2026.3.8.0 a try? Also, which Workspace are you using?

Maybe the SSH logs can reveal the issue. Please refer to this KB topic for more information.

We’re using RDM with self-hosted DVLS and have encountered a similar regression with RDM 2026.3.x. I've also emailed support with some additional info.

We’re seeing a repeatable ~5–10 second delay launching SSH/SSH Tunnel sessions.

Tested

  • DVLS 2026.02 + RDM 2026.2.17 / 2026.2.18 / 2026.2.19: Success
  • DVLS 2026.02 + RDM 2026.3.5 / 2026.3.8: Issues
  • DVLS 2026.03 + RDM 2026.3.8: Issues


Findings

  • Existing vault, unfiltered navigation: slow
  • Same SSH entry with a search filter active: fast
  • New SSH entry in existing vault: slow
  • New vault + new SSH entry: fast
  • Fresh DVLS instance: fast
  • Downgrading RDM 2026.3.x back to 2026.2.19.0 resolves it.


As recommended above, I enabled SSH ProtocolsSharp logs on a few entries. This narrows the delay to after the SSH KEX reply and before the server is reported as successfully authenticated. I have included example logs below.

With a search filter active, the same sequence completes immediately with no delay between the KEX reply and Successfully authentified server.

This now looks less like a generic DVLS/RDM compatibility issue and more like an interaction between RDM 2026.3.x and existing vault/navigation state.
