Securing default generic accounts (bt/bi/bu-admin)

Hi,I’m trying to find a good way to secure these generic accounts and still to be able to use them as bt- and buadmin are used on a regular basis for updates and support cases. As I have 4 appliances to manage and have high security requirements I’d need to have individual passwords, with regular changes and changes after access for each of them. It would be a challenge to manage the regular changes and make performing regular tasks challenging.I had posted an idea to use the Enterprise Updater as SPOC (Single Point of Control) which would have it’s own credentials and would have an encrypted key based connection to all appliances. From the Updater one could create individual schedules for the updates and unlock/lock them centrally. This would make tracking, planning and handling of updates a lot easier and only one generic user (buadmin) would need to be secured. I’d prefer a personal account though and leaving the generic account as a breaking glas solution. This would only cover the

Change AD user status from active to inactive/disabled

Hi All,We have AD users in password safe who are quarantined and form login disabled. The users are no longer in organizations. The group we created to onboard these users are also disabled/deleted. The access revoke method used by earlier admins were incorrect and they removed the group from password before syncing them. Is there a way we can make these users status as inactive?

Enhance the disco scans so they don't generate the false-positive logon events

Hi All,When the Password Safe Detailed Discovery Scan runs against a Windows server, the BTExecService agent deployed on the scanned server enumerates the members of all local admin groups, so these can eventually be onboarded and managed by Password Safe. We have observed that Group Memberships for each enumerated account are also checked. This enumeration process is causing the LastLogonTimeStamp for the enumerated accounts to be updated, generating logon events attributed to the Discovery Scan agent BTExecExt.Phoenix.exe, even though no actual logon operation took place.In fact, according to the Microsoft article below, the LastLogonTimeStamp attribute can be updated and trigger a logon event even if the user has not logged on. This behaviour is an artifact of a Kerberos operation known as Service-for-User-to-Self (S4u2Self), in which a client/service can request a ticket for a user that is only useful for things like determining Access Checks or Group Membership.https://techcommuni

API /Secrets-Safe/Secrets returns no data

how to setup email notifications to the service account owners once the password is rotated in password safe

We have the following use case:  Onboard the service account to password safeNotify the service account owners with the new password when the password is rotated in password safe. The password need to be communicated to the service account owners for any external service account usage beyond password safe  The service account password should be updated by the password safe on the underlying windows services/scheduled tasks/ IIS application pools.I would like to understand the feasibility on the email notifications, password updates on the services and any challenges that anyone faced while onboarding the service accounts.

More Description Error message when RDP fails

Hello Everyone,I wanted to bring up this issue with RDP Failure error messages in PBPS. Currently, when an RDP session fails, users see a generic message like “Failed to connect RDP session” without any specific details on the reason- whether it’s an account lockout, network issue or authentication failure.Pbsm.log contains more detailed error codes, it would be great if these codes are translated into more meaningful messages within the UI, it would significantly reduce troubleshooting time.We have an idea for same raised:  More Description Error message when RDP | All Product Ideas - PublicWould love to hear if anyone else have encountered same challenges?

For example, BeyondTrust Password Safe acts like Google/Microsoft authenticator app. I can't find any platform to upload the seed file, which will generate the OTP as output. Anyone who implemented such use case before? This kind of usecase is already available in BitWarden.

Managed Account Next change date should consider Last change date

Hello Team,  We have observed a issue with PasswordSafe, where Managed Account Next change date is calculated based on Last scheduled change date. If the user changes the password manually, Next change date is not updated to new date based on Password change Frequency (Xdays). The problem observed today, is that teams who have manually changed the password for a Service account ahead of a policy based 90-day rotation, as part of a RFC change window, will suddenly have the service account password rotated automatically again (potentially just a few days later) on the 90-day rotation enforcement date by PasswordSafe - thus breaking their production service. How can we achieve this use case in such a way that Next change date is updated based on last change date (scheduled & manual)?

Separate role for Reports only

Hello,It would be nice to have an option to distinguish separate role for Reporting only with possibility to generate reports for password safe activity (for particular smart groups) as currently it is necessary to assign "Auditor" role to achieve this but Auditor role at the same time provides access to session recordings and it's not possible to create role such Reporting Analyst with access to reports but no access to recorded sessions.What do you think about it?Regards
