Extend your Cerby accounts to Devolutions RDM

This article describes how to integrate Cerby with Devolutions to view and manage your accounts using Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) on MacOS.

Extend your Cerby accounts to Devolutions RDM

Cerby provides a seamless and secure solution for extending your accounts to the Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) dashboard.

With Cerby’s RDM integration, you can manage your Cerby accounts directly within RDM while maintaining Cerby’s security practices. This integration is achieved using the Cerby CLI, which must be installed and running locally on your MacOS system. The CLI ensures that Cerby can verify your device's trusted session, retrieve your locally encrypted accounts, and securely decrypt them.

RDM is a platform that centralizes and simplifies the management of remote connections, credentials, and sensitive information because it supports a wide range of connection types, including RDP, VPN, SSH, and more. After integrating RDM with Cerby, you can sync your Cerby accounts through RDM entries and manage them through the RDM dashboard.

After you have extended a Cerby account to RDM, you can perform the following actions:

• View password

• Copy username and password

• Copy account details

• Log in to your account
