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!

Delete the Completed Session Recordings when no longer needed (after x days)

Hi everyone,Is it possible to delete the completed session recordings after x days when no longer needed for auditing?For example, some clients have to maintain the records for a maximum of 1yr for auditing, after that logs/records can be deleted.I know there is no option in Password Safe console, Looking for backend alternative methods.

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

How to upgrade UVM 2016 to UVM 2022 in A/A site

I have a customer using 3x UVM2016 in A/A mode and want to upgrade to UVM2022 A/A.Problem is, their existing UVM2016 are all SQLFree. Now we want to move to 1x UVM2022 with SQL as primary + 2x UVM2022 SQLFree.What is the best practice to do the upgrade for all nodes? If i want to upgrade just primary appliance from UVM2016SF to UVM2022SQL, is it okay? Can i just level everything, add new node, config as primary, and turn off the old node? What will happen to existing session records? Can we bring them from old appliance to new appliance? Is there any other consideration?
