Derick St-Hilaire

Hello there! My name is Derick St-Hilaire, and I’m the Salesforce Administrator here at Devolutions. I’m one of the more experienced employees here at Devolutions, and it has been amazing to see the company and community grow over the years. My primary responsibilities include managing our Salesforce platform, and working closely with our strategic partners and customers. I also oversee the management of Devolutions Force, which is our VIP Advocate Community. Academically, I have a bachelor’s degree in marketing. When I’m not working, I enjoy camping, walking my dog, playing video games, and I’m a huge movie fan — including the Star Wars franchise of course. If you would like to join Devolutions Force, or if you wish to get in touch, then you are welcome to contact me directly at dsthilaire@devolutions.net.

We have reached another milestone in the Devolutions 2020 Roadmap that will help all of you essential and amazing IT pros stay efficient and productive: say hello to Remote Desktop Manager 2020.2!

Key New Features in the Windows Version:

  • Ability to configure user time-based access, so that users can only connect to a data source during certain periods of time (currently SQLServer and MySQL are supported, and Devolutions Password Server is coming soon with DPS 2020.2).
  • Ability to configure a master password on vault (currently SQLServer and MySQL are supported, and Devolutions Password Server is coming soon with DPS 2020.2).
  • Support for Centrify credential type.
  • Inventory reports can now be run on machines running a Linux operating system (SSH must be enabled on the Linux machine).
  • Entries can now be imported from a Passportal CSV file.
  • SQL Server on AWS is now supported as a data source.
  • Ability to customize the vault image (this is accessible in the vault administration window when editing a specific vault).
  • Improved vault overview dashboard; when selecting a vault's root in the tree, you will now see the overview tab that contains status information (e.g. entries about to expire, types of entries, and more).

CyberArk AAM Integration

As part of our ongoing relationship with CyberArk, we have had to adapt our AAM integration as our previous implementation had been uncertified.

This is a breaking change as AAM now requires certificate-based authentication rather than by username/password. This will require extensive changes on your end, but was required to obtain a new certification.

For more information on how to proceed, click here. Please contact our support team at ticket@devolutions.net if you have any questions or concerns.
