# Raw (Terminal)

Configure Raw (Terminal) entry settings in Remote Desktop Manager, including host and port, proxy, terminal, keyboard, logging, and advanced socket options.

This article details the many settings and options available for Raw (Terminal) session entries in Remote Desktop Manager.

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="140"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>SETTINGS</strong></td><td><strong>DESCRIPTION</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td>The name of the entry.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Folder</strong></td><td>The folder where the entry is located. A folder can be selected by clicking the arrow or the three dots to open the <em><strong>Folder</strong></em> window. To create a new folder, click on the plus (<em><strong>+</strong></em>) icon.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Display</strong></td><td>How the session is displayed. <em><strong>Default (inherited)</strong></em> uses the display mode of the nearest parent folder that sets one, otherwise the default of the entry type. <em><strong>Embedded (tabbed)</strong></em> means that the remote connection is open within the same window as the other tabs or entries. Each connection has its own tab, making it easy to switch between them. <em><strong>Embedded (connect on demand)</strong></em> opens an embedded tab that waits for you to connect. An <em><strong>Undocked</strong></em> display refers to the session window being detached from the main application. It allows you to move and resize the remote session window freely on your desktop. With <em><strong>Undocked</strong></em>, additional lists let you choose the monitor and the virtual desktop where the window opens.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Host</strong></td><td><em><strong>Host configured</strong></em> lets you select the host. <em><strong>Linked</strong></em> indicates that the host for the entry is linked to a host entry. <em><strong>Inherited</strong></em> is used when the host is inherited from a higher-level or parent entry.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Credentials</strong></td><td><ul><li><strong>Username and password</strong>: The credentials are specific to this entry.</li><li><strong>Linked</strong>: Links to a credential entry from a vault, or searches the user vault for an entry by name.</li><li><strong>Inherited</strong>: Inheritance means that credentials will automatically be passed down from a higher-level entry to lower-level entries that inherit from it.</li><li><strong>My personal credentials</strong>: These credentials are not entry specific but are instead taken from the option under <em><strong>File</strong></em> – <em><strong>My account settings</strong></em> – <em><strong>Local credentials</strong></em> – <em><strong>My personal credentials</strong></em>.</li><li><strong>None</strong>: Remote Desktop Manager will not send credentials to the entry.</li><li><strong>My privileged account</strong>: These credentials are not entry specific but are instead taken from the option under <em><strong>File</strong></em> – <em><strong>My account settings</strong></em> – <em><strong>Local credentials</strong></em> – <em><strong>My privileged account</strong></em>.</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/knowledge-base-articles/entry-settings/raw-terminal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
