They opened early access registrations for the new Linux client about a month ago.

Blog Post about it is here

https://blog.devolutions.net/2020/02/get-an-early-access-preview-of-remote-desktop-manager-for-linux

I also would like to put in a vote for this, we have everyone in our team using RDM now on all supported platforms except for Amazon.

The only ones left in the dark are our Linux and Voice engineers who run Ubuntu.

I am running the latest version of the app on the latest iOS.

The app connects to our devolutions server which is also running the latest version.

If I open an RDP connection the screen is skewed And you cannot move around. see attached image.

Excellent :) I look forward to seeing them in the client at some point in the future.

I know this feature has only recently been released but if you have ever used the Microsoft RDP client for iOS you would understand what I am referencing.

It would be nice if the desktop was still full sized and displayed as per normal where you can zoom in/out then as you move the mouse pointer around the screen it moved the zoom box. You can do this in the MS client by turning on pointer mode and it works really well.

Thanks for the quick response, its not a major just would have been nice to have.

It would be nice if when using the search box at the bottom that it worked across all your data sources.

Maybe have a view which shows all Data Sources under all entries then search would do it, or have it as a configurable option in the search to search multiple data sources.

Hi Olivier,

I have sent in the logs as requested.

Thanks

Hi,

Since updating to the latest iOS client (v1.0.3) it now pops up asking for our Devolutions Server's security passphrase.

I have already entered this in and the client was showing connections on the server before, but since updating it is now unable to connect even with the correct passphrase.

We are running Devolutions Server v3.0.2.0

Any help is appreciated

In Regards to RDP on iOS, just found a post in the iOS forum saying that its not enabled in the public version yet and will be coming in a later release so thats ok.

Either way it would be cool if the client on all platforms could failover to a sub connection if an addon isnt installed or not supported, without prompting the user.

Hi Maurice,

Thanks for the reply,

I have tested using sub connections but if the addon is not installed it wont let you double click on the top level entry, alternatively if the addon is installed but not the software you get a popup asking for the software location and if you click cancel / ignore it just closes the window and nothing happens.

Basically unless the addon and software are installed you cannot use the top level, you need to expand it and click on the sub connection. The same applies for our Mac Users.

In regards to the mobile client, I primarily use iOS but others use Android, on iOS I am unable to use it for anything at all to be honest, RDP doesnt work and neither does SSH, the app's detail in the store says it does Microsoft RDP but connected to Devolutions Server I cannot initiate any of my RDP sessions. Not sure if android has the same problem.

Hi,

We have a mixed environment of PC and Mac users, we primarily use SecureCRT for SSH connections which works great for users of those clients if the computer they are on has SecureCRT installed but if you don't then as you would expect you can't connect.

With the addition of the android and iOS clients which hopefully in the future will have SSH support. It would be really cool if I could add an alternate connection to use if the add on doesn't exist.

For example, we add a SecureCRT entry with all its connection parameters etc, then in another tab add a failover connection option for when the addon application isn't installed to use the built in SSH client.

This would mean once the mobile clients support SSH we could interchangeably use any client to connect to a service that requires an add on provided we configure a valid alternative option, without needing to create 2 of every device. If this is already a feature and I haven't found it yet then please let me know.

Thanks

We have a mixed environment of windows and mac RDM clients.

Is there any way to specify if windows connect using this VPN client, if Mac use this client.

For example our windows users run ShrewSoft or Cisco and the addon's work, but when a mac user tries to connect it fails.

Ideally we would like to be able to specify an option for each client such as Windows use ShrewSoft and Mac use Apple VPN.

Look forward to your response.

Thanks Benoit,

We have tested it on mavericks and yosemite and all is well so far.

Thanks for the quick updates to get it all sorted.

I will let you know if anything new comes up as our engineers start to use it.

Ok after todays testing of v2.5.2.0 here is what I have found.

We were unable to get a fresh install to work on Mavericks 10.8.5, the program just doesnt load at all.

A user on mavericks who had an old version which used to work with RDMS updated to the latest version and it loaded but failed to authenticate, no errors were given, it just didnt accept any valid username or password.

On Yosemite it works without any issues, you just occasionally get problems where the top of the window is cut off and you cant get to the items at the top.

I tried out the older client (2.0.4.0) from the link provided on mavericks and was getting the same problem where the application couldnt run after install.

Thanks for the update I will test it out on Monday.

Hi david can you give a rough timeline on when the update will be available or if there is an older version we can use which will work. Currently 1/2 our team cant use the product and we only just purchased it.

Thanks david, we look forward to the fix.

Hi,

We ran a trial of RDMS a few months back and have just purchased Devolutions server as SecureCRT is now supported by the Mac Client.

When we ran the trial the Mac/Windows Clients and RDMS all connected up and worked nicely.

After licensing and updating the server to v2.5.2.0 we are unable to get the current Mac client (v2.5.1.0) to connect to the Data Source, using the Test connection button throws Object cannot be found if under advanced I set it to WebService or Default. Setting it to Web API returns Could not load type Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Business.Entities.InfoDataEntityt`1` from assembly 'Core, Version=1.0.0.0 .....

Windows RDM clients (v10.6.5.0) can connect and work perfectly fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Todd

Ah right, I look forward to the response and hopefully it can end up part of the mac client at some point.

Hi David, SecureCRT is already integrated nicely with RDM enterprise for windows, we are currently using it in this manner. Its just for our mac users we have to create SSH entries in RDMS to the same device as our SecureCRT entries which is our preferred method.

Even if the mac app just launched SecureCRT with the desired parameters and it wasnt integrated into the app like on windows that would be great.

Thanks for the quick response.

Syntax:

SecureCRT.app [standard options] [protocol-specific options]

SecureCRT.app can be found in your /Applications folder.

The below command would connect to a host using SSH2 and the specified username and password, but there are a lot of options available for each protocol such as certificates and so on.

/Applications/SecureCRT.app/Contents/MacOS/SecureCRT /SSH2 /L [username] /password [password] [host]

All the switches for mac are the same as the windows version so hopefully wont be to bad to adapt :)

I can post a full list of switches if you like.

Really would like to see SecureCRT integrated for Mac, it is our preferred tool as we can duplicate sessions and the likes.

Love the integration for the windows version, just want to see it for mac as well so that we dont have to have 2 copies of each device we SSH to, 1 for windows users with SecureCRT and another for our mac users.

Thanks
