Delinea Connection Manager

Why Delinea Connection Manager?

IT administrators manage dozens of server connections. Copying passwords from vault is inconvenient and risky. mRemoteNG and similar tools lack auditing. No central connection management.

Delinea Connection Manager is an RDP/SSH client with native Secret Server integration. Automatic credential injection - passwords never leave the vault. Organized connections with folders and groups. Session recording for auditing.
