Ability to upload our private CA certificate or to be able to turn off the certificate verification in the UI.

Hi all,I’m wondering if we’re the only ones who’s struggling with this problem, as you can find in already raised idea Ability to upload our private CA certificate or to be able to turn off the certificate verification in the UI. Sometimes if a CA certificate it’s not working, we need to rebuild the certificate instead of being able to only turn off the certificate verification option for SIEM integration (QRADAR) for example.Do you have similar situation by any chance? You can share your experience or vote for an idea if you find it useful.Cheers,DerianV

More Description Error message when RDP fails

Hello Everyone,I wanted to bring up this issue with RDP Failure error messages in PBPS. Currently, when an RDP session fails, users see a generic message like “Failed to connect RDP session” without any specific details on the reason- whether it’s an account lockout, network issue or authentication failure.Pbsm.log contains more detailed error codes, it would be great if these codes are translated into more meaningful messages within the UI, it would significantly reduce troubleshooting time.We have an idea for same raised:  More Description Error message when RDP | All Product Ideas - PublicWould love to hear if anyone else have encountered same challenges? You can share your experience or vote for an idea if you find it useful.CheersThanks and regardsJaya

Onboard TOTP Seed File to generate OTP Code in Password Safe

Dear Team, The client has a use case to upload TOTP seed file and generate the new OTP on the console [similar to the retrieve password option]. For example, BeyondTrust Password Safe acts like Google/Microsoft authenticator app. I can't find any platform to upload the seed file, which will generate the OTP as output. Anyone who implemented such use case before? This kind of usecase is already available in BitWarden. Please find the link below:Viewing TOTP Code: https://bitwarden.com/help/integrated-authenticator/ Thanks in advance!!Varun

Separate role for Reports only

Hello,It would be nice to have an option to distinguish separate role for Reporting only with possibility to generate reports for password safe activity (for particular smart groups) as currently it is necessary to assign "Auditor" role to achieve this but Auditor role at the same time provides access to session recordings and it's not possible to create role such Reporting Analyst with access to reports but no access to recorded sessions.What do you think about it?Regards

Include the instance name on every single log that generated and forwarded to SIEM

Hello,What do you think about the idea that the instance name or source id be included in every single BI log. This to be able to filter the logs by instance name in the SIEM in a easier way. At this moment there are logs that where the instance name or source are not being listed on the payload.Cheers

Description field for Azure AD managed accounts is empty

Hi All,We've observed that managed accounts originating from Azure Active Directory do not appear to synchronise their description field. Consequently, users encounter inconvenience as they cannot readily identify which account to use due to the absence of the description.Is it possible for BeyondTrust to automatically consider the "jobTitle" attribute in Azure AD as the account as description Regards,Rayapudi Durga Prasad

Possibility to resolve full name of Access Policy

Idea is to provide ability to resolve a full name of Access Policy as current configuration doesn't provide such functionality.Suggested solution: Allow to resolve full name after pointing mouse cursor on Access Policy. Related issue description:During selection of Access Policy for particular Smart Rule it's not possible to resolve a full name of Access Policy, there's character limitation of what is displayed, it cuts name with "..." and the rest is not visible. The problem is with Access Policies which have long names, their first part looks the same and only difference is for example L1 / L2 at the end - issue is that this part is not visible, usually in such situation name should be resolved after pointing mouse at the name of the policy but it's not happening in that case. In such situation it's not possible to make sure which policy we're selecting, we have to select policy blindly and after that check which one has been selected and assigned to smart rule.

Issue: PS Automate - Chrome Browser not opening

Hi Everyone, Is there someone also experience browser not opening upon running PS_Automate using the latest Chrome Browser as of today? We are on BeyondInsight 24.2.0.1324 and uses Enhanced Utility Tool with the same version. I have deployed this on my RDS server last January and was able to work this out. But as of today, I built again a Windows Server 2022 with RDS role however as of the moment, the PS_Automate does not work. I have to test this again due to my colleagues reported that they couldn’t make it work on their environment and some of their implementations. See sample screenshot below: I can’t find any reliable KB articles to resolve this and I have already created a ticket support for this and unfortunately, the action items provided by the support is questionable and no certainty that it will work.  Regards,Fellow BCIE
