# Proxmox dashboard entry

The Proxmox entry in Remote Desktop Manager Windows provides a centralized way to manage and launch Proxmox sessions directly from within your vault.

Basic operations such as listing virtual machines and performing actions like `Start`, `Stop`, `Reboot`, `Pause`, and `Resume` (VMs only) are available from the context menu. Containers (LXC) support `Start`, `Stop`, `Reboot`, and `Shutdown`; Virtual Machines (QEMU) also offer these options plus `Pause` and `Resume`.

### Token-based authentication

The Token-based authentication uses an API key without expiration.

1. Open Remote Desktop Manager.
2. Add a new entry.
3. Go to ***Session*** and select ***Proxmox dashboard***.
4. Enter the URL of the Proxmox server.
5. Select ***Token*** as ***Authentication mode***.
6. Type the ***Username*** under which this token will authenticate.
7. Select the ***Realm***, which is the authentication backend.
8. Enter the unique identifier for the ***Token id***.
9. Type the token secret value used for API authentication.
10. Click ***Add*** to save and close the window.

### Ticket-based authentication

Ticket-based authentication uses a username and password to establish a session that remains valid for two hours, with an automatic refresh occurring two minutes before expiration.

1. Open Remote Desktop Manager.
2. Add a new entry.
3. Go to ***Session*** and select ***Proxmox dashboard***.
4. Enter the URL of the Proxmox server.
5. Select ***Ticket*** as ***Authentication mode***.
6. Type the Proxmox account under which this token will authenticate.
7. Select the ***Realm***, which is the authentication backend.
8. Enter the password.
9. Click ***Add*** to save the entry.
