Migrate RDCMAN to another PC?

I have a RDCMAN.cfg with approx. 50 stored connection to other PC or servers. Maybe about 5 of them have stored passwords, the other have only stored login-names without password.

I got a new PC and copied the rdcman.cfg to new PC, but now on every startup of RDCMAN I get an incredible long error message like:

 

There were problems decrypting some credentials.

Click OK to copy the details to the clipboard.

Custom passwords:
path .. server .... password ... Key is not valid for defined state ...
repeat it 50 times ..

 

How can I migrate my data to new PC?

  • I could fix it ..

    The data encryption (not only passwords) depends on user-login and PC and ????. So just copy file from old to new is not enough. You have to "refresh" data - here a quick way with keyboard:

    • open the program
    • expand the tree
    • select the first entry you need
    • press "Alt+Enter" to open the properties
    • press "Enter" to confirm and close the properties
    • press "Cursor down" for next server definition
    • press "Alt+Enter" ...
    • to be repeated ...
