Hello Is it possible to disable the personal folder in secret safe? can btadmin see the secrets in personal folder? If a user stores in personal folder , and the user leaves organization, we still need to be able to fetch the secrets saved by the user for the enterprise applications. So can we not show personal folders and only show the safes we create for the users?

Hi All,We are facing one problem for DR activity .We are having one Resource Zone say Zone1 which as 2 RBS. During DR activity both RBs are set to be shutdown for few hours . We have another Resource Zone Say Zone 2 which has 2 RBS. My question is , is it possible that when RBs of ZOne 1 are unhealthy , Server access should be attempted from RB2 in Zone2? We have already verified and managed system’s port are open from RBs in Zone 2. I know one approach would be rescan the asset and select RB from Zone 2 but it will take lot of manual effort hence want to keep this option as fall back. If anyone is aware of any other approach , please let me know .Thanks in Advance.Regards,Imran

Hello, we typically have multiple new SDA switches created on regular basis. They have IP address and a hostname when provisioned but will not be added to a DNS server yet. Admins need access to these devices for configuration before they are available in DNS.  What is the best way to add these devices.For existing switches which are in DNS , we add the hostname to Address Group and run IP Scan. The same address group is referenced in Managed Account smart rule. Q1. Add IP address to Address Group via API and trigger a scan . I think this will only add the system = IP address.Q2. when the Address Group is scanned next , PS will know the hostname of it but will it update the same managed system with system = hostname (and IP = IP) ? or it will create two separate managed systems/assets.Even if the system name gets updated with hostname , the managed account smart rule will not apply as it references the Address Group which does not have hostname of the system but only IP address. Q3. So

Hi All, I am trying to explore options for bringing in 1500+ AD objects from AD domain without using AD group option (I agree which is best and most suitable option). Kindly help to share if there are any other options to achieve this apart from using AD group.   

We have an attribute “employeenumber” from on-premAD which is syncd to Entra. Was trying to use this for my directory attribute match for the privileged access but on the drop-down selection in BeyondInsight, it only shows “employeenumber” as the attribute name but the actual Entra attribute name is supposed to be “extensionattribute_<appreg_clientID>employeenumber”. Is there a way to map this to an on-premAD “employeenumber” attribute but use Entra for my requester group? I am just not sure if it PS will recognize it since it s trying to map the requester (from Entra SAML SSO) against the  on-prem AD attribute.

Hey everyone, we’re running into a strange issue with the Remmina RDP client and BeyondTrust Password Safe on Linux, and I’m wondering if anyone else has seen this or found a workaround. What’s happening When users download one-time RDP connection files from Password Safe and open them with Remmina, the connection doesn’t go through automatically.Instead, Remmina asks users to re-enter their Password Safe credentials (the same ones they already used to log in to PWS) before the RDP session actually starts. What we’d expectIdeally, the RDP session should just launch automatically, using the credentials passed from Password Safe — no extra prompt.Environment RDP Client: Remmina 1.4.41 (latest) BeyondTrust Product: Password Safe OS: Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, and other GUI-based Linux distros  Extra contextThis only seems to happen on Linux — the exact same workflow works perfectly on macOS and Windows, without any re-authentication. Questions  Is this extra prompt expected when using Remm

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 All, We have migrated from one Password Safe appliance to another, as part of the migration, we moved the sessionmonitoring folder to the new appliance, with all the recordings. Database is migrated successfully; I can see all the Completed Sessions on the portal. When I try to view any session recording which is migrated from old appliance, getting below error: New appliance name is different from old one. Any advice to fix the issue? Thank you.

Hi all,I have onboarded winscp as an application in beyond trust. it is working fine however there is some delay before hostname username and password are injected in respective fields. can anyone please let me know how to resolve this issue. Regards Imran

We have created the Local account on Custom Platform /Linux system mapped it user one-to-one since We cannot mapped it dedicated since user's Admin account and Requestor id is not matching . Below is scenario, 1. User Admin id is PA091922. user's Requestor Id :MSP9192 Since users Requestor id and Admin Id are not matching , we have mapped this using one to one so that user can login to BT and should see this id ->PA09192This mapping is working fine and user is able to see this Id. However problem here is When any user , having Admin access, logs in to BT, they are also able to see  this id -PA09192. Below KB article explains the reason but we dont want Admin to view and access this id https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sys_kb_id=4b4c8e7f473f5a541bf1db37536d434a Can anyone please let me know how can we block Admin users from viewing non dedicated mapped/Shared id from viewing and accessing from Password Safe. Regards,Imran Aiyani

Hello Beekeeper Community,I’m curious to hear how others handle the following:Onboarding:easy: AD query, smart rules, and we have managed account. Offboarding:When a managed account deleted from AD , the password can’t locate the user. Also, there doesn’t seem to be a smart rule capability to identify which accounts are in Password Safe and which are not, to help with automated cleanup and management.How do you manage this process? Any tips or best practices would be appreciated!Regards,Maulik

Hi All,I am currently exploring options to onboard more than 1500+ Active Directory (AD) objects from an AD domain without using AD groups.I have developed a sample PowerShell script that uses the BeyondTrust Password Safe (BeyondInsight) REST API to import AD managed accounts in bulk.Using the POST API endpoint, I am successfully able to create multiple managed accounts under a Windows platform managed system (entry type: Asset). The script works as expected for Windows systems.However, when I try to use the same API for a Managed System of platform type Active Directory (entry type: Domain), the API call fails with an HTTP 400 (Bad Request) error.Could you please confirm if the same POST API endpoint is supported for creating bulk Active Directory managed accounts under a Domain-type Managed System?If not, please suggest the recommended approach or alternate API for importing AD accounts in bulk under the Active Directory managed system.

What are the best practices for configuring managed accounts for non-privileged access?For example, 200 developers who need access to multiple servers.What is the recommended best practice in this scenario?Specifically: Should each developer have an individual non-privileged domain account?Is there a better approach for managing a large number of non-privileged users accessing multiple servers (e.g., using groups, role-based access, PAM, etc.)?Very important: We do not want one developer’s session to be accessible or “stealable” by another developer.Looking for guidance on how organizations typically handle this setup securely and efficiently.

Hey Community, I’m looking for a way to manage service accounts via automation from Password Safe that will update credentials for service accounts that are used on Canon copier models MDF iR-ADV C5860 & MDF iR-ADV C5850. Is there a way to do this? I believe they use a proprietary OS called MEAP and their documentation is not very robust. Thanks!

Common challenges with PasswordSafe User Provisioning comes down to the confusion between Smart Rules and Smart Groups, and the concept that PasswordSafe groups are only provisioned if they have permissions assigned to them. You cannot give access to users who are in a group with no permissions.  📌 If you’re wanting an overall yes/no flow if a user can access PasswordSafe or a managed account, please see Whiteboard Workflow Diagrams for PasswordSafe Authentication and Permissions | Community In the effort to share the knowledge, I’m sharing the raw whiteboard notes I have around an approach to thinking about PasswordSafe User Provisioning. Whiteboards are my first step in understanding any system, and, quite frankly, I’ll never get this article posted if I were to transpose this into writing.  🚩 This is a general case. There are different ways of altering what a user is provisioned to access by using the PasswordSafe configurations.  PasswordSafe Users need a provisioned reasonPasswo

We have an administrators group for each server in AD. Each member of this group has the local administrator rights for the respective server due to their membership. The servers are all in the same OU in AD. Unfortunately, nothing can be changed to the AD structure in the foreseeable future.We now want to onboard the Windows servers in the PWS. For compliance reasons, we have to work with named accounts on the servers.What is the best way to onboard the approx. 500 servers and the 300 managed linked accounts now?Creating a smart rule for each server, each administrator and then creating a mapping rule is not really a solution, is it?Regard Arno

Why the Whiteboard? Do I have access to PasswordSafe? Can I access the managed account?Why the Whiteboard?PasswordSafe has some ✨ nuance ✨ around authentication that can be a bit different than people are used to. The API tokens, on their own, aren’t permissioned, and accessing via API won’t always show what’s available in the web console. There’s a difference of accessing PasswordSafe and access a managed account. Because of that, I used a whiteboard to show the generic workflow that covers the basics for PasswordSafe access. After sending this to a few people as I find it easier to explain the different components that impact access, I'm posting this here in the event others find it useful.  Do I have access to PasswordSafe?The first question is “can I log in?” and … that depends! This doesn’t cover Pathfinder, Secrets Safe, Secrets Cache, UVMs, or Features. Nor is it covering OAuth2.0 and Application Users. This is meant to be a general guide.  A workflow of “Do I have access to Pas
