Description: Remote Desktop Manager is an application for centralizing and managing system connections and credentials. This technology leverages existing technologies and third party software add-ons such as Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Microsoft Remote Desktop, Citrix ICA (Independent Computing Architecture), RVTools, SecureCRT, HP iLO (Integrated Lights Out), SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) Remote Control, VMware Horizon View Client, DameWare, and others. Remote Desktop Manager uses a credential repository (SQLite by default) for automated login for the various sessions it supports. The product is not Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 validated and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm to protect local files and sensitive data in the database but supports several FIPS 140-2 validated credential storage options. This assessment covers both the Free and Enterprise editions of this technology.

The TRM decisions in this entry only apply to technologies and versions owned, operated, managed, patched, and version-controlled by VA. This includes technologies deployed as software installations on VMs within VA-controlled cloud environments (e.g. VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC)). Cloud services provided by the VAEC, which are listed in the VAEC Service Catalog, and those controlled and managed by an external Cloud Service Provider (i.e. SaaS) are not in the purview of the TRM. For more information on the use of cloud services and cloud-based products within VA, including VA private clouds, please see the Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office (ECSO) Portal at: https://dvagov.sharepoint.com/sites/OITECSO

This entry covers the Desktop Edition of this technology and not any mobile versions. Please note that the implementation of mobile technology applications that operate on Mobile Operating Systems must be reviewed and authorized by the Mobile Technology and Endpoint Security Engineering Team: http://vaww.eie.va.gov/SysDesign/CS/MT/default.aspx

This technology is available in a Free Edition and an Enterprise Edition. This assessment covers both editions and contains language geared towards each individual edition.
