Hi Maurice,

yes, as I prefer KeePass, some use LastPass and other prefer entering U/P in RDM. So, this is common for us.

And our best practice is to update only the credentials and leave the connections untouched. The batch edit could help, but makes on a cluster a lot of exceptions. As the credential-entry e.g. 'AD-account' is simple and single-point to update.

Hi,

I'm using RDM Beta 9.9.1.0. I try to set a user specific setting on an existing credential.

For every connection, we use a placeholder for the credentials using 'Username/password'. Every user can use the user-specific setting to override for his password-source. But in the beta, this is not possible. I can set a different U/P, but can't change the source to KeePass or lastpass or ...

As I don't use change the passes regular, I can't tell since when this function stopped working. I do have some existing entries which are default U/P and custom KeePass. I can update the already created custom entries to an other keepass uuid, but not to an other source.

As a side-note, I thought I could also change an existing entry to a new type. Now I have to create a new placeholder, update all related connections and have all users create a new custom credential when necessary.

Hi David,

thanks on the feedback! Good to hear you are already working on the column customization.

An added feature when adding the linked credential repository, could you show in the column username the final username, taking user specific and/or machine specific settings in account? Maybe in italic when it's a derived username opposed to entry specific?

Hi,

when I view the entries list of a complete folder, I'm missing the used credential repository information and which security group is assigned.

Is it possible to add those details, or more general, the option to select different columns to show/hide in the entries list?

Hi David,

thanks for the feedback. I've installed the beta and found out some entries work and others don't.

I did some experimenting. It looks like if my keepass is holding a username in the following format:

DOMAIN\{REF:U@I:blablabla}

The {REF}-part is successfully parsed, but the surrounding text (in my example 'DOMAIN\') is lost.

Hi David,

have you a timeframe for this request?

Hi David,

*embarrassed*

Thanks again for your quick reply. Have you a link to the other request so we can continue there? I can't find it in all the keepass topics.

Edit: Never mind, I found the other request.

Hi,

I use referenced credentials in Keepass (http://keepass.info/help/base/fieldrefs.html). But the plugin is not correctly processing the referenced item. When I use a RDP-connection, it enters something like {REF:U@I:46C9B1FFBD4ABC4BBB260C6190BAD20C} in the username-field. And I suspect something similar in the password-field.

Tip: I use the same references in Chrome with KeePassHttp (https://github.com/pfn/keepasshttp/), so it should be possible :-)

If you check the option "Keep tab page opened on disconnect" in the "User interface" section of "More" tab, does it behave as it should ?

As workaround you could make visible the status bar. It seems to solve (temporarily) the issue.

Hi André,

Both options help to prevent the symptom. Personally, I'll opt for the status bar for now.

Have you located the source of the issue? Do you plan for a fix in RDMv9?

Hi André,

It's not one or two sessions, but all RDP's.

I will PM you the screenshots.

Could you send print screen before and after ?

Hi André, attached you'll find the output from Windows Problem Step Recorder.

In step 11 I minimize RDM to the tray before the RDP-host is completely logged off.

I'm running a 32-bit Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.

Hi, I have a bug in RDM 8.9.18.0. When I open RDM from the systray, the dashboard is gone (invisible?). When I click 'Navigation' a blank block is opened, but the tree is not visible.

I can restore the layout by clicking Home -> Open Session. However, clicking Window -> Reset Layout doesn't help.

I noticed it before in some earlier beta-versions, and thought (hoped) it was resolved in later versions as I didn't experience it a while, until a few minutes a go. It looks like it only happens when the following conditions are met:

- previously opened a RPD

- minimized to tray

- locked desktop

But I can't reproduce the issue with only these conditions.

The application log has no recent entries.

I found a way to reproduce (and I upgraded to v9.0):

- open a session to a RDP

- logoff the session AND

- minimize RDM to the tray BEFORE the session is successfully logged off

- open RDM from tray

Hi David,

is it possible to use credentials from the Private Vault as credential entry when editing User Specific Settings?

Thank you for a new beta.

If started to test it, and more specifically the function for user/group management. The function meets my needs, so thank you.

During the tests, I also found a few bugs in this feature.

When an user has general add,edit and delete rights and view rights to a group, but no add, edit or delete in the group:

- he/she is allowed to create an entry using the option 'New entry (INS)'. The 'Add'-function correctly shows a pop-up and blocks any updates.

- When a user selects an entry and uses batch edit, the different details can be updated by the user.

- The user is able to change the 'Status'-message of an entry

- The user is able to move (menu and drag-n-drop) an entry to any group

And a feature, which I haven't decide on if it's desirable functionality:

- For a user to allow add, edit or delete within a group, the user needs the global right. With this right, the user can create an entry on any location, not secured by a security group.

Possible solution would be to have 'root' as a security group where users can be granted the rights if/when needed.

Like I said, thanks for the function. I'll keep testing!

Hi David,

- Standard edition registration (free) is now mandatory after 30 days

This is a nice touch, but can you give an option to bypass registration and enter serial directly?

I've come across a machine which had an older RDM (>30 days ago). I had two options: re-register with previous data (causing duplicates) or hack the config-file. (I choose the last one ;-))

Thank you for a new beta. The sorting of the groups/folders is now as I'm expecting.

Hi David,

I don't understand your remark about 'sort split the number'. (Could be a language thing, dutch is my native language.)

As I see it happen, when a grandchild (Text###) is given a higher ordering, the parent (Test##) and grandparent (Test#) entries inherit also this ordering.

I would expect the ordering to only influence siblings within the same group.

I also changed the setting 'Use the Old session sort'. This didn't change anything visible (at least I didn't notice a difference).

Hi David,

I found unexpected behavior (/bug) when sorting groups/folders.

See attached images, when I give a priority of 1 to the group 'Test222', I would expect to just switch places with group 'Test221'. Instead both groups 'Test2' and 'Test22' move to the top.

I can fix it, by giving a priority 1 to the group 'Test1'.

Edit: changed attachment order

Hi,

... and also the sorting priority.

edited by dhervieux on 1/17/2012

Now you mentioned this, can the sorting be made unrelated to folder or session?

So, I can have server3, server1, folder3, server2, folder1, etc...

Hi,

is it possible to cache the user specific settings for the Sessions and Credentials when using RDM in offline mode?

Regards,

Paul

Hi David,

I was wondering if this future is planned for any upcoming release (v7??)

We would love to have one data source with a more fine grained control.

Regards, Paul

Hi David,

somehow, I thought it could be related to a data-entry in the list. I removed the entry. After restart the pop-up didn't show.

I recreated a new data-entry, no pop-up! So fixed for me.

Regards, Paul

Hi David, I have the same issue. It started with one of the previous beta's.

The pop-up shows at every:

- restart of RDM

- changing datasources to a MSSQL-source

- edit session

Reinstall of RDM didn't solve it. Also keep saying ignore doesn't help.

The addon 'Serial' is loaded in the about-dialog.

1. I did Tools/AddOn.

2. Clicked uninstall add-on.

3. Restarted RDM.

4. After restart, the addon is gone from the about

but the pop-up keeps showing.

When choosing 'install', the addon is installed, again visible in about, but still gives pop-up.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Paul

Hi,

You are absolutely right. I will add an offline mode expiration policy. Thank you

Hi David, the last few days I've been testing with 6.1.8.0 and the SQL Server expiration. When I start RDM, I click 'Open Offline: yes', but after a few days, the sessions are still available.

Have I missed an checkbox somewhere? How does the expiration work?
