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

PSafe seems to not execute the pwdadm -c/-f NOCHECK command on AIX Servers

Hello everyone,We're experiencing a situation in our environment where PSafe appears to be failing to execute or executing pwdadm commands incorrectly on AIX servers.At the beginning of the operation, we noticed that all credentials for which PSafe rotated the password were prompted by the user for a new password change.This is due to AIX adding the ADMCHG flag to the credential after the password is rotated.To avoid this, the original password rotation workflow included the command pwdadm -f NOCHECK <<ManAcctName>>.Even with this command in the workflow, the credential remained with ADMCHG and the NOCHECK flag was not added.So, we changed the command to pwdadm -c <<ManAcctName>> and added two more consecutive executions.After this change, the password rotations no longer prompted the user to change the password at the next login, and the ADMCHG flag was removed.However, an AIX server in our environment doesn't log the execution of pwdadm -c even after three con

Hi, I have a use case in place that works fine using Dedicated Account feature, but it covers only 25 accounts. Now my customer wants to expand this for around 5,000 users. Have you guys seen a use case with 3,000 - 5,000 Dedicated Accounts in Password Safe? Does it work fine or I should consider anything.

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!
