scripting with remote powershell sessions
Awesome, thank you!
It works fine with if the user name and password are set directly in the session, or when it's directly in user specific settings for the session, but if it uses a "private vault credential entry" the user name is set, but the password is blank.

scripting with remote powershell sessions
Hi,
I've set up remote powershell sessions for a group of servers and am now trying to run scripts against them all, but the various methods I've tried so far have failed due to authentication errors.
I have Windows Remoting setup in an untrusted environment, so all servers have their own certificates and authentication is handled by the local machine and not a domain. I can use the following command from PS to obtain a remote session
>Enter-PSSession -ComputerName my.computer.name -UseSSL -Authentication Negotiate -Credential (Get-Credential)
As of RDM 11.5.5 the "PowerShell Remote Console" session type works fine with this.
So, what I'd expect is I'd open or select one or more PowerShell Remote Console sessions, Right click on them, go to Macros/Scripts/Tools and choose one of the Macros or PowerShell Remote scripts I've setup.
If I choose a macro, a notification appears to tell me that it's executing my macro on the powershell session, but nothing appears in the powershell window, not that a macro would be particularly useful in my case here as I have a 15 line powershell script I need to run.
If I choose a Powershell Remote script a new powershell window appears with errors telling me that the user name or password is incorrect... So to see what's happened I type in the following in the new powershell window
>(h)[-1].CommandLine
and get the following returned
$Host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize = new-object System.Management.Automation.Host.Size 192,4000;
$Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize = $Host.UI.RawUI.MaxWindowSize;
$Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize = new-object System.Management.Automation.Host.Size 192,84;
cls;
$rdm_script = [scriptblock]::Create([IO.File]::ReadAllText("C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\RDM\some.guid.ps1"));
$rdm_pssession = New-PSSession -ComputerName "my.computer.name"
Invoke-Command -Session $rdm_pssession -ScriptBlock $rdm_script;
Enter-PSSession -Session $rdm_pssession;
No credential has been set, nor has the UseSSL flag been used as part of the connection.
Am I doing something wrong here, or is it not possible to use authentication here?
Thanks

Cannot apply user specific settings in 9.2.7.0
Hi,
I tried to override some settings (user specific) since updating to 9.2.7.0 and the settings don't stick.
Steps to reproduce
select an entry and choose "Edit Entry (User Specific Settings)"
make some changes and click OK
go back into "Edit Entry (User Specific Settings)"
previous changes aren't shown
For the moment, I have reverted back to 9.2.6.0 where it works fine.
Thanks

browse button missing in private vault entry

credential list dialog search
Hi,
At the moment the search on the credential list dialog does not include the group name(s) in the filtering. It would be great if this could be changed to do so as without it, it's difficult to filter large lists of credentials if they're hierarchically managed. If the box could also honour the same operators as the main search / filter that'd be great!
Thanks

blacklist option in password analyzer
You could alter the password strength calculation based on the times the password has been used, as some users will use a single complex password in multiple places. If this could follow through to the password strength display on the credentials editing dialog, that'd be awesome.
Cannot use private vault creds in private vault
Hi,
I've added a data entry in my private vault for a website, but cannot assign a private vault credential entry to it for authentication.
To recreate:
go into private vault
choose add data entry
tick web
add in details
the "use credential repository" option only shows credentials under "All Entries"
If you then try and use the "Edit entry (User specific settings)" option, it's disabled.
blacklist option in password analyzer
Either a report would be good or just an additional sortable column in the list that shows the appearance count.
blacklist option in password analyzer
Hi,
It would be really useful if the password analyzer could accept a list of passwords that should be flagged as bad, and / or the ability to display passwords that are duplicates.
Thanks

Keepass plugin support for Field References
There's a feature within keepass for Field References to be used so that fields can point to a value in another field or entry. This allows for fields to share a single value which can therefore be updated from one place.
At the moment if Field References are used, the reference is sent to RDM instead of the value that it points to.
Any chance this feature can be added please?
Thanks
Allow "User Specific Settings" for VPN Connections
Any chance this could also be done for the "Sql Server Management Studio Add-on" as well?
Allow "User Specific Settings" for VPN Connections
Hi,
We have several different VPN connections which we have set up through the Shrew Soft VPN Client. As we have multiple user accounts it'd be great for users to be able to set their own credentials for the VPN accounts with the "Edit Session (User Specific Settings)" option. We're running RDM with the SQL Server backend and then overriding credentials for each user.
Thanks

Relative paths for keepass databases
Hi,
I'm in the process of rolling out RDM to multiple users in my department and have hit a problem with setting up keepass as a per user credentials store.
We are using source code management to bundle RDM and a few other tools together, so it's up to the individual as to where they put the directory on their computer. This works fine, with relative paths working to various tools such as putty and winscp, but paths to keepass databases are absolute. Is there any chance of making the keepass database field editable so that relative paths can be put in there? The ability to use variables would possibly be advantageous too.
Thanks for such a great product, keep up the good work.
Ian
