Secret server entry configuration

The Secret Server integration is quite straightforward in Remote Desktop Manager. Follow this step-by-step to configure your entries to use Secret Server credentials.

1. In Remote Desktop Manager, create a new Secret Server entry.
2. In the General tab, enter the URL you are using to connect to the Secret Server instance, which is either https://server or https://server/SecretServer.

   

Credentials information setup:

3. If you are the only one using this entry, you can enter your credentials information directly under the General tab. In a shared team, select Use "My Account Settings" under the General tab. After the entry configuration is completed, each user will need to go in File – My Account Settings – Secret Server to enter their information.

   

   Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is supported with the Secret Server entry.
   There is a limitation with the Rest API: you cannot have 2FA with Windows Authentication.

4. To do so, enter your information at the bottom of the Secret Server entry.
5. For the Two factor mode, select Ask only when the session expires. This way, you will get the 2FA prompt when you open Remote Desktop Manager, and it should last all day. You will not have to enter it every time you want to use a credential, unless that is what you prefer. In that case, select Ask on every login.

   

6. In the Credential Selection tab, select Prompt For List.

   

7. In the session you want to use the Secret Server credentials with (RDP, etc.), select the credentials you created with Linked (vault), then click the Select from List to specify the account you wish to use. This way, you have one Secret Server entry for all the connections.

   

If you prefer, you could also select the credentials you want directly under the Credential Selection tab in the Secret Server entry.
