This article details the many settings and options available for Raw (Terminal) session entries in Remote Desktop Manager.
SETTINGS
DESCRIPTION
Name
The name of the entry.
Folder
The folder where the entry is located. A folder can be selected by clicking the arrow or the three dots to open the Folder window. To create a new folder, click on the plus (+) icon.
Display
How the session is displayed. Embedded (tabbed) 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. An undocked 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.
Host
Host configured lets you select the host. Linked (vault) indicates that the host for the entry is linked to a host entry. Inherited is used when the host is inherited from a higher-level or parent entry.
Credentials
Username and password: You will set the username and password in the General tab.
Linked (vault): Links to credentials available in the current shared vault.
Inherited: Inheritance means that credentials will automatically be passed down from a higher-level entry to lower-level entries that inherit from it.
My personal credentials: These credentials are not entry specific but are instead taken from the option under File – My account settings – Local credentials – My personal credentials.
None: Remote Desktop Manager will not send credentials to the entry.
Find by name (user vault): Searches for the name of an entry in the user vault.
My privileged account: These credentials are not entry specific but are instead taken from the option under File – My account settings – Local credentials – My privileged account.
