Hi Everyone, I know we have PSAutomate tool that we can use for automating different kind of applications. However as for a more complex automation, we usually use a different tool. As for me, we use nodeJS to automate the login sequence for all web applications. The question here is, does anyone of you also use the same tool that I use? If yes, are you guys currently experiencing an issue after updating the nodeJS version and puppeteer to latest version? Like when opening a web application via PS Remote App, it automatically close, and if we set the Remote App to disabled and check the behavior, it shows an error like this below?Tried this between PSAutomate and NodeJS however this error only happens to NodeJS after upgrading. I know some of you will say that “use PSAutomate” or “revert back to the working version”, but t

Hello,I need to upgrade the operating system from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2019 on the servers hosting the BeyondInsight databases. These servers are part of a cluster, and all cluster nodes will be upgraded.My question is: how will this impact Password Safe operations? Will services return to normal automatically once the upgrade is completed, or are there any actions required from our side?Additionally, are there any notes or precautions that should be considered to avoid potential failures during or after the upgrade?

We are looking to build an automated BeyondTrust Password Safe onboarding process via API, driven by user provided details in a ServiceNow form and lookups against our CMDB.To facilitate this, I’m looking for a way to bulk export the available (and mandatory) fields for the below for every Platform:Creation of an Asset Creation of a Managed System Creation of a Managed Account Population of the ‘Manage Assets Using Password Safe’ Smart Rule Action Population of the ‘Managed Account Setting’ Smart Rule ActionWe need the details for each platform so that we can create branching to provide the right details in the relevant API calls for each platform.The intention is then to map each of the available fields in BeyondTrust to a field in another data source (in the ServiceNow form or CMDB) so that we can populate the API calls for onboarding.I understand Smart Rules can’t be created via API, so we’d instead

Hello teams,I have a case like this:There is an application, let’s call it data_input.exe that installed in my RDS Jumphost server.Two users need to login this application using their own managed accounts (this is done using automation).However, I need both users to launch the application under different functional accounts within the same RDS jump host. For example, person A start the jumphost using FA-1, and person B start the jumphost using FA-2.Is BeyondTrust able to support this type of scenario? Or is there a workaround for this kind of scenario?I tried cloning the data_input.exe application in the BeyondTrust configuration, but it appears that only one functional account can be assigned per managed system. Note: This is not a multi-session issue, i can do mult

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

What is the recommended best practice for upgrading PAM Terminal Servers from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2019, particularly when CAL licensing is involved and the servers are used for PAM applications?We currently operate two application servers behind a load balancer (TRM1 and TRM2). TRM1 was originally running Windows Server 2012 for our PAM application. After performing an in‑place upgrade to Windows Server 2019 using the ISO, the upgrade appeared to complete successfully. However, we encountered a significant issue: when launching any application session through PAM, users now receive full desktop access instead of the intended restricted application session.Additionally, after a recent restart, TRM1 began displaying an RDS Licensing error, and we were only able to access the server through the console. Although we resolved the licensing issue and applied the appropriate CALs, the problem with users receiving full desktop access persists.

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
