- Start/Stop/Restart SQL Server service
- Manage Logins, Create, Edit, Delete, Reset passwords

HP iLO web session
Support for HP iLO web session is now available in RDM Linux, bringing parity with Windows and macOS!
Improvements
Performance – significant improvements
We've delivered major performance enhancements for RDM on Linux. Switching between tabs like "Account Information" and vault views no longer triggers unnecessary refreshes. We've also reduced the overhead from excessive ConnectionControlStates
creation during UI updates. Additionally, in an upcoming minor update, slow GTK-based getters used to retrieve connection information have been optimized—eliminating delays when navigating large tree views or switching data sources.
New permissions for VPN/SSH/Gateway and session recording sections
Administrators can now enforce stricter control by assigning specific permissions for editing the VPN/SSH/Gateway and Session Recording sections within entries. This allows users to retain general editing rights (if granted) while preventing changes to critical connection settings.
