Credential sprawl slows admins down and exposes them to risk, adding unnecessary friction to everyday tasks. The linked external vault mode in Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) changes that by delivering the right credentials exactly when you need them—making complex environments faster to manage, safer to secure, and far less manual. Let’s dive in and explore why this enhancement significantly simplifies credential management.

What is the linked external vault mode?

The linked external vault mode enables you to effortlessly select and utilize credentials that are stored in other vaults within your shared database like Devolutions Hub and Devolutions Server, directly within RDM entries. Previously, you could only link credentials from within the current vault. Now, you can link directly to credentials stored in other vaults, streamlining your credential management process.

Key benefits

Enhanced security
Credentials remain secured within their original vaults, significantly reducing risk exposure.

Improved efficiency
Improves credential management workflows by enabling credentials to be clearly and securely separated into different vaults, simplifying organization and reducing complexity.

Containerized management
Enables seamless integration with containerized environments, enhancing agility and scalability in credential management.
