How to enable "Automatic Password Change" for local Linux servers?

Hi all,I’m in the process of onboarding over 100 local Linux servers into BeyondTrust Password Safe, and I’m looking for a more efficient way to handle FA (Functional Account) assignment during setup.Steps I’ve taken so far: Added all 100+ servers to an Address Group Created an asset-based Smart Rule Set the assets within the Smart Rule to be Managed by Password Safe However, when I try to enable Automatic Password Change Options, I’m only able to assign one FA (From smart rule). Since each server requires a unique FA, manually creating individual Smart Rules for each server would be highly inefficient.Question:Is there a way to automate or bulk assign one FA per server without having to create a separate Smart Rule for each one?Thanks in advance for your help!

Automatically linking multiple managed accounts to managed systems based on services

I’m trying to figure out if this is even possible.  I feel like it is, but I’m probably missing how to accomplish it.So we have 60 something Windows servers running SQL server.  We have 20 something AD accounts that run SQL on these various servers.  Ideally what I’d like to do is build a rule that adds the appropriate linked managed system to each managed account that is running the SQL services on those systems. So the end result would be I could go into each account, and see the system or systems that it is running SQL on.I’d really like this to work automatically so that any time a new server is added, or an account is added to another system, it automatically gets added to the list of linked systems for that account.    I can easily create rules to get a list of all of these servers running sql.  I can also easily create a rule that shows me all of these accounts (they all start with the same thing).  But is there a way to then just link each account to the appropriate server with

Caching Issue with Web Applications via Password Safe and Microsoft Remote Desktop on MacOS

Hi,{This issue is only applicable to MacOS environments}Is anyone facing an issue where, when launching a web application (using PSautomate) via Password Safe in MacOS using the Microsoft Remote Desktop application, there is some sort of caching issue? For example, let’s say I download the RDP file for a web application at "https://app1.example.com"; the Microsoft Remote Desktop will prompt an “RDP certificate warning,” and the user will click "Continue," allowing the browser and web application to launch successfully. Example of “RDP Certificate Warning” However, once they close this web application browser (browser only and not the entire Microsoft remote desktop app) and launch another web application session (such as "https://app2.example.com") using a new RDP file downloaded from the Password Safe portal, it doesn’t prompt the “RDP certificate warning” and instead launches the old web application ("https://app1.example.com") session instead of the new one, even though we clearly l

how to run powershellscript to change password

Hi I have application API to change password , how can I use it to trigger password change via PAM. For using application host, I am unable to use WINDOWS system . I found this link here-Resource Kit SDK Plugin for PowerShell Scripts -Should I go with above? or propagation action? If using propagation action, what needs to be the platform? I mainly want to do trigger generation of password based of password policy, update it just in the BT DB and not try to apply in system account. I have a windows system with the script and want to trigger change of password from BT .

Password Safe onboarding and rotating Linux local accounts

Hello,  We have Linux desktops which have non-root account which is in sudoers. This account has a common password while imaging which gets rotated every n days outside Passwordsafe (PS)I see that we need a functional account that has ability to rotate other local accounts , which should be used to onboard these accounts to Passwordsafe. As this non-root account has a fixed initial password for each newly imaged desktop , can we use it as a Functional account in PasswordSafe and check the option “ Use Own Credentials” to Manage/Rotate password in smart rule. I am assuming that this will work as initial password of non-root account will be used by PS to onboard the account and then it will change its own password when smart rule is processed. Is my understanding correct ? am I missing anything that could result in any issues
