hi steve,

I've to check this.

Oops, seems to be a interface problem: I've defined Property "IsCustomConnection" as a Property of a SAPGuiSession.

Maybe this is also used internally by RDM. I've to start reflector...

double oops, read your previous post. thank you for your exact analsysis. Have to roll up the old sources.

edited by oki on 11/15/2011

is this feature also possible / planned for all other kind of datasources (not only for sql server)?

you can try the new version of vrmc-addon, which can handle the "-M" option.

requesting enhancements for putty session configurations. I'd like to use the putty key agent for authentification within RDM.

If using the putty session by linking to the session entries from Putty out of the registry, this works well.

If using sessions from rdm configuration (hostname, ...) authentification is limited to username/password. publickey nor kerberosticket authentification are able.

Maybe, the default template (named: "Default Settings") within the putty configuration could be used as base, overridden by the stored connectioninformation (host, username, password, portforwarding infos, ..) out of the RDM configuration for this sessions.

oops, doublepost.

like to have different commands in a single session tools, switchable by the underliing OS of the session.

pls, follow here: http://forum.devolutions.net/forum/topic1236-sessino-tool-script--multi-os-support.aspx

hmm, maybe is this not flexible enough.

we jump with mstsc to a windows session. I've to handle with a lot of unix derivates and use putty to all other OSes (Linux, AIX, HP-Ux, Solaris, zOS, ...).

The RDM handling would be too complex, if an other Session Tool is needed for each OS. This would result in a lot of "IP config" Scripts, a lot of "Process list" scripts and so on. The user must select the correct session tool for the current session and the tool would throw an exception if the wrong one was choosen.

If a session tool set for putty is your prefered way, how to handle other terminals (like X11, 5250, ....), which someone maybe implement as an addon in future?

I would prefer extending the xml structure of the session tool by alternative command calls, depending on the destination OS in conjunction of session type.

new addon-Version: vrmc 1.1.0.0

Changelog (from 1.0.1.0):

- added Support for "-M vmID"

the session tool scripts seems to be interesting, but they can only used on windows. Support for other OSes requested. Identifiing the correct OS can be done manually by Session-value "OS" or by kind of Session with support of a "sh" shellscript (which is avail on nearly all OSes other than Windows)

eg. Script "IP config" repesents on:

• windows : "ipconfig /all"

• linux: "ifconfig"

Script "Process list" on:

• windows: "tasklist.exe [parameters]"

• linux: "ps -ef"

• AIX & HP-Ux: "ps -ax"

• ...

request to handle different OSes with one Session Tool Script.

e.g. Session Tool Script "IP Config" is called on a rdp session "ipconfig /all" and on a Linux putty session "ifconfig".

Process list is on linux "ps -ef" on a hpux/aix "ps -ax" and on windows something like tasklist...

Hi,

the vrmc addon can't handle the "-M" option right now. you can use the addon by specifiing the path to the vmx-config.

pls. give credits to "Olaf Kionka (trianet GmbH)".

Hi David,

the Addon Manager in RDM 6.1.3 presents at least outdated Versions of my Addons ( sapgui* and vmrc) for download. can you switch this to the most recent avail version?

best regards,

olaf

@apr: currently is the VMPathAndFile implemented and can't handle blanks in the vmware path/name.

I'm investigating currently the Vsphere SDK for implementing a treeview for selecting from the ESX(i) ore Vshpere Server repository to get the internal vmID. Can you use the vmID on both (esx and VSphere Server) ?

Version 1.0.1.0 released.

compatible to RDM 5.x and 6.x.

Changelog: fixed taborder in session-editcontrol. (thanks for reporting DavidSzp)

SAP Gui Addon 1.0.2.0 released and can be downloaded here: http://www.trianet.de/de/service/tipps-a-tricks/67-sapguiaddon1020remotedesktopmanager.html

Changelog from 1.0.1.0:

+ Implemented SAP Note 1031740 for correct handling of saplogon.ini location under Windows Vista, Win 7, Windows Server 2008

+ fix: multiple saplogon.ini handling

+ cosmetic update on popupwindow after identifiing saplogon.ini changes due opening session.

+ Copy button to copy a saplogon.ini Link-entry to custom session within SAPGui Addon sessions.

@Spooner:

sapgui 1.0.1.0 addon was build, whith all restrictions, agains RDM 5.9 SDK. The Sessionpasswords are stored together with the session-parameters (or link to .ini-File with session numer within) in the RDM repository.

Due SNC bugfixing was the case sensitive ini-parser nessessary. All previous stored sessions were imported from .ini files in uppercase RDM Sessions. That's the cause that all Sessions marked as changed/invalid.

There is no migrationpath from sapgui addon 1.0.0.3 to 1.0.1.0 for stored sapgui sessions avail. You've to delete and reimport them. For security reasons, i'll not provide a session export for plaintext passwords.

I can confirm the problem with the different saplogon.ini files outside the defaultstorage (c:\windows\saplogon.ini)

br,

oki

oops,

I've to check... (outside this customer environment)

@spooner:

the best way reporting bugs is in this forum. If u need more/faster support, send a PM.

The addon-Version 1.0.0.3 attached in a previous post is really buggy.

Please use attached Version 1.0.1.0, which contains a lot of fixes. (e.g. session selection in combo box, identification of saplogon.ini changes, case sensitive ini-parser, tested SNC sessions, default Logon Language handling, ...)

for your feature request I've to aks david, because addons in the 5.9 SDK can't access different credential repositories. Addon-Sessions can't view the protected credential repository property of class session. I've to adapt SAP Gui Addon to the SDK Version 2.0 delivered with RDM 6.0.

Hi,

this thread sounds gread. I've downloaded 5.9.0.5 and the last plugin. I'm using Keepass 2.13. and tried to get this working together.

OK, I've identified, that the RDM plugin is for KeePass and not for RDM. After copiing both RDM Plugin dlls to keepass installation path, the keepass programm starts and found the plugin.

Started keepass, selected my kdbx and typed my masterpassword.

I copied one UUID (keepass UUID for a password) to the new rdm credential store.

when I press in RDM the Check Button in the credentials Form, I'm getting the exception:

5.9.0.5 Beta

TypeLoadException - Could not load type 'Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Managers.RemoteDesktopManagerCredentialCommunicator' from assembly 'RemoteDesktopManager.AddOn, Version=5.9.0.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

BTW, if I clicking on the link on bpage.this form I'm getting a 404 error from your webpage (http://remotedesktopmanager.com/remotedesktopmanager/FileNotFound.htm?aspxerrorpath=/remotedesktopmanager/Support.aspx/Keepass )

The same problems occures, if I copy the whole stuff (RDM, Plugin and Keepass) together in one directory.

Hi,

Using Import Addons are only acccessible due menu-strip "File" -> "Import" -> "Import from other Application".

Kindly ask you to access these on a second way, by enable Import Addons in Contextmenu of sessiontree:

Navigate to a created "Folder / Group" -> rightclick and missed the Import Addons in entry "import / export".

kind regards,

olaf
