Key Takeaways:
Devolutions has announced the release of a new version of Remote Desktop Manager. The latest update brings several new capabilities and improvements such as integration with Azure Privileged Identity Management (PIM), support for Delinea Secret Server proxy for RDP and SSH, and more.
Devolutions has introduced integration with Azure Privileged Identity Management (PIM), allowing operators and administrators to easily enable or disable privileged accounts directly within Remote Desktop Manager. Moreover, this update brings support for One Identity Safeguard, which enables users to retrieve credentials and seamlessly inject them into RDM sessions.
The latest Remote Desktop Manager update adds support for new RDP and SSH sessions that are designed to utilize Delinea’s Secret Server proxy. Customers can use a proxy with Delinea’s conditional access policies to ensure that only authorized users are allowed to establish RDP and SSH connections. Remote Desktop Manager has introduced support for Proton Pass password manager, making it easier for users to automatically fill in their login details when connecting to remote systems.
Devolutions has announced that users can now use the Barracuda NAC VPN as an add-on within Remote Desktop Manager. The latest release also brings a new feature that prompts users to enter a ticket number from ServiceNow. This capability is currently only available for connections to SQL Server databases.
In addition to the new features, Devolutions detailed several improvements for its Remote Desktop Manager solution. The company has added two new SSH broadcasting buttons, which let users broadcast all opened SSH terminal sessions in RDM or remove all broadcasts. Moreover, Devolutions has improved how privileged accounts are handled in remote sessions.
“Users can now automatically check in or be prompted to check in a privileged account if its allotted usage time hasn’t expired. This will reduce security risks and make managing these accounts easier for administrators, especially in cases where password rotation policies for highly sensitive accounts are critical” Devolutions explained.
Last but not least, Devolutions has released a new update that enables administrators to delegate access rights on temporary basis. There is also a new automated offboarding capability for users within SQL Server and Devolutions Server.
