Steps to Link to a Specific Server

To link a specific secret to a specific server, create a new entry.

The following example shows a basic Remote Desktop Connection session for a server called SRV-USP1-SQL3A.

  1. Right-click on the entry.

  2. Click Properties.

    Properties

  3. On the Credentials section of the entry, change it to Credential Repository and choose the Secret Server credential repository.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Right click on the server and click Open Session. You will be prompted to choose a Secret from Secret Server.

  6. Click OK and you will be able to log in to your server with the chosen credentials.

For accessibility/ease of use, it is recommended that secret names match the session name within Remote Desktop Manager, but it is not required.

Any type of session can be configured to use this as a credential repository.

For additional security, we recommend locking the application. This can be configured in Remote Desktop Manager security settings as shown below. Additionally, you may provide 2FA to Remote Desktop Manager itself.
