Hi Simon,

Returned to this today to capture the behaviour and it appears that at some point since this was solved.

Previously it would lag with every character press or tree navigation action while disconnected, waiting for a connection timeout.

Cheers

Can confirm that the search issue is fixed.

Looks like it still attempts repeatedly to try the database when offline. Is there a way to force/stay offline to prevent consistently trying the database and waiting for that to fail to switch records?

Thanks, I'll update once it drops and I test.

I can almost guarantee I had the only active connection for RDM at the time (2am). The only other DB on the server likely only had one idle connection for the app which is mostly idle at the time.

I was connected over a VPN connection, however. This is how I normally connect. Sounds like something changed and the latency is causing an issue.

Maybe related.

• I haven't found a way to manually go offline.

• Sometimes I end up in offline mode. Changing entries has a huge delay, which I believe is the timeout looking for the SQL server.

• I found the setting to automatically go offline in the data source and this only seems to make entries available for things that previously weren't when offline, like viewing password. I still get prompted for checking network when performing actions.

• The "Manage Cache" has no output.

• Caching mode is set to File.

• Offline engine is default: MCDF v2.0

• Right-clicking the tray icon DOES respond after about 30 seconds while the app itself is frozen. Selecting any of the options has no effect on the app.

It hangs when offline, as well. I suspect this is related to it trying to access the DB still and there not being a mode where it just stays offline.

Searching while including username causes the application to hang.

2023.2.0.6 on Kubuntu 22.04

Hi Nicolas,

I do use the extra fields to search already.

Yes, the value in seeing all the results in columnar view has a few benefits, especially when working with a group of hosts matching some query or a group of accounts that use a purchasing email.

Cheers

Viewing username and host columns has a huge impact on workflow. It's further amplified when searching a known value, but having to click each individual entry to determine what field out of the selected ones for search is even being matched.

Cheers. Thanks for the update.

That article is perfect. Thanks Erica!

Hi Erica,

We were behind on an old version. Based on your response, are database upgrades always assigned a new major version in the current semantic numbering?

The Powershell module versions should match the current RDM versions.

As the Powershell module contains the engine to access the DB and therefore must match the current state or perform an upgrade, it should match the version numbering to be able to align the module with the deployed RDM version. I cannot decipher alone from the names of the modules which version matches which RDM version.

The current list on PSGallery for 2022 is:

Version	Downloads	Last updated
2022.2.0.0	97	3 days ago
2022.1.3.4 (current version)	193	15 days ago
2022.1.3.3	315	a month ago
2022.1.3.2	8	a month ago
2022.1.3.1	22	a month ago
2022.1.3.0	4	a month ago
2022.1.2.1	493	2 months ago
2022.1.2.0	8	2 months ago
2022.1.1.0	417	3 months ago
2022.1.0.9	82	3 months ago
2022.1.0.8	79	3 months ago
2022.1.0.7	286	3 months ago
2022.1.0.6	572	4 months ago
2022.1.0.5	17	4 months ago
2022.1.0.4	110	4 months ago

The first RDM version listed in the release notes is 2022.1.11.0 on February 14th 2022.

This leads to a total crap shoot for trying to align versions, especially with automation. We have to determine version alignment before updating the version that gets automatically deployed on a host. It would be great to simply specify Min and Max based on the current desktop client and avoid thinking about which PS module needs to be deployed.

Thanks for that Jonathan. That does make it a bit easier in the interim.

Would love to see this hit all platforms: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/36740/add-hostkey-to-my-user-vault

On Windows, I can navigate entries using the arrow keys. I assume this simply hasn't been implemented yet and is not a bug.

This is especially useful when you search for an entry which brings you deep into a tree. From there, you can left arrow out, collapsing sections as you go, until you get to the point in the tree you want to laterally move to.

• Root

  • Folder1

    • SubFolder1

      • Session1

  • Folder2

    • SubFolder2

      • Session2

In this example, moving from one of the session entries to another can be done by pressing left twice to collapse towards root. Then, up or down as appropriate. Finally, you can press right to expand followed by down to navigate into the subfolder, and so on. This is extremely useful when you don't know an entry's name, but where it should be.

It would be great to package an AppImage. Very similar to Flatpak, but without the dependency on a management plane.

https://appimage.org/

For the end user, an AppImage is just a portable executable that can be ran anywhere. The system doesn't need to support it like Snap or Flatpak.

We've been using Integrated Security for some years and are ready to migrate to Custom. I don't see any automatic way to convert users.

1. Is user conversion able to be automated in any reasonable fashion?

2. If not, is there an easy way to replicate direct permission on entries for a user using their new ID? Is this just walking the whole DB with the Powershell module?

Any suggestion on the simplest approach to proceed by anyone that's tackled this is appreciated.

Thanks, Erica.

I wasn't aware that was there.

I created a feature request at https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/33558/powershell-user-object-property-to-show-if-user-has-private-vault

Just like the column that is displayed in User Management to show whether or not the user has entries in their Private Vault, there should be a boolean property with only a get method to tell if the user has used the Private Vault.

I'm not seeing any way to determine whether a user has entries in their private vault using the powershell module. Am I missing something or does this need to become a feature request?

This would be great to be able to get a simple boolean response to know whether or not any entries exist, so that a manager may be given access to the account after someone leaves the company.

It doesn't detect it as installed, so it's not possible to even edit the entry in the 64-bit version. None of the connection information is visible in the Overview tab or in the appropriate columns of the Navigation pane.

64-bit RDM addon manager fails to see MySQL Tools addon, keeps prompting to install. 32-bit sees it fine. This started several versions back, somewhere in v13. Currently on 13.6.1.0.

Native messaging is working in 64-bit 13.5.0.0. The com.devolutions.rdmnativemessaging.json was not updated by the updater however. I had to manually add the extension's URI.

Hi James, lost track of this one myself. Olivier's answer at https://forum.devolutions.net/topic28884-prompt-on-connection-prompts-repeatedly.aspx?lastpage=1#post111897 shows that this problem was a specific issue with the versions in use.
