When generating the installer file, some elements can be included or excluded from the configuration. This process replicates the configuration of the Remote Desktop Manager instance currently used and generates a RDI installer file. Once it has been generated, the installer file can be used as many times as needed to create Custom installers. For security reasons, some settings that may contain credentials such as Saved templates are disabled by default.
Remote Desktop Manager may install required add-ons automatically when it detects that they are needed (configured in File – Settings – Application – Paths). If customizing the application's installation path of an add-on is required, first perform the modification, then create the installation package. This setting will be replicated in the RDI installer file.
Open the Custom installer configuration generator from File – Devolutions account – Export custom installer configuration. It is also accessible when creating an installation package in File – Devolutions account – Custom installer manager.
Security concerns
Here are some key security concerns:
- Do not distribute the Devolutions account credentials, as this will grant access to all users linked to the online account used for creating the installer package.
- All local templates will be included in the distribution. If any templates contain credentials, it may introduce a security risk. Share only the necessary information to minimize exposure.
- You should only share data sources that are using either integrated security or an environment variable for the username. Passwords for accessing a data source should never be shared.
