Add elevated credentials to session entries

Session entries in Remote Desktop Manager support alternative credentials that can be used instead of the ones set in the General tab in CommonGeneral. To configure these alternate credentials, head over to the entry's PropertiesConnectionAlternate, and choose a credential mode from the Credentials dropdown menu in the Elevated credentials section.

Properties – Connection – Alternate

Alternate credentials have their own variables, namely $ELEVATED_USERNAME$ and $ELEVATED_PASSWORD$.

Remember to enable the Allow password in variable option, located in AdministrationSystem settingsPassword policty, to use the latter variable.

To launch a session using elevated credentials, right-click on the entry, then click on Open with parameterOpen using elevated credentials.

These allow, for example, to automatically log on to Linux servers using Su as an Elevation tool:
