Topic "Remote Desktop Manager Server 'Lite'?" a message from Chris Libby

I currently have several machines I run RDM from, both on/off of the company network. On the corporate network, I am behind a proxy, so I can't connect to a SQL instance outside of the corporate network. From home, on a personal device, I can't access the corporate network. So, because I had no universally accessible place for a SQL instance, I was typically exporting/importing a config file a few times a week on all systems. What I have done recently is to setup a SQL instance & linux box in a cloud environment, which I can access over a SSH tunnel thru putty either directly or thru the corporate proxy when at work.

While this works, especially with offline mode, to me it's kludgy and I don't like the idea of running a SQL connection directly over the internet.

My thought was if there was a simple webservice in front the of the database that would allow you to access it over HTTPS, it would be perfect. I know that Remote Desktop Manager Server essentially does this (and alot more) but it's way overkill for my needs, especially given the cost.

My thought was maybe you could create a small server side component that could be deployed, like a Remote Desktop Manager Server Lite or 'data source proxy' that's free or included with normal RDM enterprise license, it would be very helpful.

Thanks!
