BeyondInsight / Password Safe

I’m starting to onboard users and computers to password safe and I want to allocate certain users to certain servers.So to illustrate.Team A has 5 users each user has a std AD account and a dedicated admin AD account.This team is responsible for several servers which I have put in an AD group. I can do the directory queries and onboard the servers and manage them. I can also onboard and manage the dedicated admin accounts and link them to the std accounts.I’ve hit a road block linking the accounts to the servers.There is an existing onboarding rule which sets an attribute (Tier1Server) on Servers and a rule which sets an attribute (Tier1account) on T1 accounts. The servers I want to sort now and the team users are a subset of Tier 1 so I should be able to use the similar process using attributes.So I create a managed account smart rule with selection criteria of the directory query relating to that user group so I can set an at

Hello all, We are experiencing a behavior with RDP sessions via Password Safe initiated from machines with Windows 11.The session has a slow image loading, appearing to load in rows of images and in blocks.A simple movement of windows within the RDP session causes the image loading of this movement to be very slow.This does not occur if the RDP session is direct with the destination server.But if the connection is through Password Safe being Windows 11 > Resource Broker > Destination server, this slowness is noticed. Has anyone else noticed this problem in your environments? Additionally, this behavior does not occur in Windows 10.Points that I have already checked:- The software installed on the computers are the same between Windows 10 and 11;- The network settings are the same. This behavior occurs on both wireless and wired networks;- The GPOs of the Windows 10/11 stations, Resource

Hello All,We have a requirement for to not onboard Oracle user account while performing oracle DB scan. We only want ‘Oracle system accounts’ and ‘Oracle Service accounts’ to be onboarded. We have attributes (Same as in DB) defined in BeyondInsight configuration. When we attempt to onboard DB accounts using the smart rule, it captures all accounts. Consequently, when we use the 'Set attributes in each account' action within the smart rule, it assigns attributes to all accounts, regardless of the account type. Thanks,Prasad

Hello everyone!We are facing a possible configuration issue, we believe.Is there any setting for using BeyondTrust Workforce Passwords in a fixed browser window? The problem is that every time we authenticate, a new browser window opens, causing us to lose visibility and usability. Has anyone else encountered this situation?Thank you very much.

Hi ! Just wanted to understand how you are handling the initial API keys /OAuth secret required to authenticate to BI PS itself.e.g. we have BI-managed service account used by few Linux endpoints . This service account is used to map a network drive. We want to fetch the latest credentials via a script from BI PS at user log on and map the network drive. To secure the api key , we are planning to put it on a network share where a Group of users will have access. But this means if the machine is compromised or the internal user wants to get the access , they can fetch the key and service account credentials. We are thinking of rotating this key in BI PS config + network share from a secure server , but this introduces another high privileged account with config access to API + possibly one more account with network share access (Though in a more secured environment). This increases complexity but the key/password is still has same level of security (when compa

How do you manage Microsoft Edge browser updates on RDS servers used for web applications?Do we need to allow continuous internet access for Edge updates and WebDriver checks, or do you manage updates in a controlled/whitelisted manner?  What are the best practices to follow ?

I’d like to understand the recommended approach for onboarding local Linux dedicated accounts. Additionally, from a Linux server perspective, is there a recommended method to configure these accounts so that sudo does not prompt for a password? Thank you.

What is the recommended approach for securely managing and remotely accessing macOS systems using a password safe? Specifically, does a managed application for a VNC client support this use case, and is there an implementation guide? Thank you.

Hello everyone,I am currently encountering an issue when performing a managed account password change on F5 BIG-IP. I would like to describe the issue as follows:On the F5 BIG-IP device, I created a user named "btfunctional" and configured this user in PAM as a Functional Account (FA). I performed a Test Functional Account, and it completed successfully. However, when I attempt to change the password of another managed account, I encounter the following error:[btfunctional@ltm01:Active:Disconnected] ~ # Thread was interrupted from a waiting state. Password change failed.I would greatly appreciate your support and assistance with this issue.Thank you very much.

Hello everyone,We have encountered a challenging requirement during our discovery scans for a range of IP addresses. In the scan results, some assets appear with their asset names as IP addresses instead of hostnames.We need to filter out these assets and prevent them from being added to Password Safe. Does anyone know how we can filter out assets without hostnames that are still being added to Password Safe? Thank you,Prasad

Hi Team, is there any way to clean/flush the password  stored in clipboard “when you do a copy of credentials from password safe , it does not get cleared automatically from your clipboard. The clipboard storers the credentials rather than clearing the clipboard after a short period of time”

Hi,Anyone else have a need to keep password history for more than one year? A problem we face is if we need to restore a windows server from more than a year ago, we won’t be able to log in via the local administrator password as it will be unknown. I know there are some workarounds where you can reset if it is an AzureVM, but having history more than a year is needed.Anyone have any smart ways to work around this limitation?Someone has already logged an idea for this if you want to vote.Allow Password History For More Than 360 | All Product Ideas - PublicThanks

Hi All,I'm new to PS but have been running RS for over a year now, we export syslog via webhooks on RS and PRA to our Rapid7 SIEM and it is working well, but I cannot seem to get it to work with PS. Any ideas?

I have strange behavior in my PasswordSafe.I am using an application session, and when I try to start an RDP Session / Start Application Session: When using the option to run on a different system with the functional account, it works perfectly. When using the option to run on the current system with the user account, the RDP session does not start. It shows a black screen for some time and then closes. When I checked the logs in the second case, I found the following: INFO: Accepted RDP session 1234 for 1.2.3.4:1234 INFO: RDP Handler 1234 starting INFO: Found RDP certificate: My:.... INFO: Reading self signed cert INFO: (RDP server) Client Security: NLA:1 TLS:1 RDP:0 INFO: (RDP server) Negotiated Security: NLA:0 TLS:1 RDP:0 INFO: (RDP server) Server Security: NLA:0 TLS:1 RDP:0 ERROR: (RDP server) BIO_read returned a system error 0: No error ERROR: (RDP server) transport_read_layer:freerdp_set_last_error

I can see several old sessions still appearing in the Active Sessions list in Password Safe, even though only today’s sessions should be showing. 

Hi everyone, have any of you implemented High Availability using a proxy server, or worked with customers who have deployed this setup? If so, I’d appreciate hearing about your experience, challenges, and overall results.Please share any relatable articles, would appreciate it. Thanks!
