Customer having issue that functional account saves files when user download files in remote app sessions

If a shared functional account is used to log into the application server (RDS), users can see files downloaded by others in the Downloads folder from previous sessions. Is there a way to prevent this behavior?

Lagging RDP session - Windows 11

Hello all, We are experiencing a behavior with RDP sessions via Password Safe initiated from machines with Windows 11.The session has a slow image loading, appearing to load in rows of images and in blocks.A simple movement of windows within the RDP session causes the image loading of this movement to be very slow.This does not occur if the RDP session is direct with the destination server.But if the connection is through Password Safe being Windows 11 > Resource Broker > Destination server, this slowness is noticed. Has anyone else noticed this problem in your environments? Additionally, this behavior does not occur in Windows 10.Points that I have already checked:- The software installed on the computers are the same between Windows 10 and 11;- The network settings are the same. This behavior occurs on both wireless and wired networks;- The GPOs of the Windows 10/11 stations, Resource Brokers and destination servers have already been checked. No Remote Desktop configurations th

U-Series Appliance login credentials

Hello All,We have an existing setup of Beyond Trust u-Series appliances. When we try to access the U-Series appliance portal page, the page is visible requiring username and password. Unfortunately, we have lost the credentials. Is there anyway by which I can get the lost admin credentials back. Please suggest.Thanks,Prasad

Dedicated account mapping - local accounts

Investigating a requirement to map std user accounts in Password Safe to a dedicated local account (unix in this case) BUT with the same name/format. Unix accounts do NOT have any prefix/suffix additional to their Entra/AD login to PWS account.As a Unix local account, cannot use any account attribute mapping either.The onboarding Smart Rules is ok - we can utilise the regex capability (x characters, y numerics format).It’s the mapping Smart Rule were we have the issue, as this doesn’t provide regex option, mainly suffix/prefix.Any thoughts people?

We run RDS farms for PSCloud on premises - what would you use in AWS?

Hi All, We expect to close our on premises DC’s in the coming years, and we currently run a traditional RDS farm with F5’s in front to enable the non-SSH/RDP workloads managed by PasswordSafe Cloud…Microsoft RDS licensing options in AWS (AWS is the only answer for us - please don’t suggest Azure!) are very limited and the equivalent would be significantly more costly than the current level. For other internal systems, we’re looking at AppStream2 - has anyone looked at this or other options for PasswordSafe Cloud or are we locked to RDS and the associated costs?Trying to gauge what the community is doing and what experience, if any, is out there 😀 Many thanks in advanceTim

Disabled at Rest works and cloud access

Hello Beekeepers  , I am working on one integration project where i need to give access to password of managed account to users, We will be using disable at rest future to make it true on demand / JIT .  Problem comes in sync, if we leave all default replication to cloud and local it takes about an hour time. i am just wondering does beyond trust has any integration point which can be force ad replication or in cloud ad replication when such a password extracted.

API Endpoints

When API endpoints are changed, how often will this be? With the last big update BI had, some endpoints were depracated. I am curious how often this is going to happen? APIs have become very popular in our environment and alot of our scripts are breaking with these changes. Ex.) In BeyondInsight/Password Safe 24.3, "UserGroupId" has been deprecated.I know the word “Safe” was also replaced with “Folder”.

How to Onboard Oracle internet directory in Password Safe

Dear Team,I am currently configuring Oracle Internet Directories (OID) to integrate Oracle database systems with Password Safe.The provided BT documentation outlines the steps to configure an OID and add Oracle databases as Managed Systems in Password Safe. However, the documentation does not explain how accounts are discovered automatically if we do not perform a scan.https://docs.beyondtrust.com/bips/docs/ps-add-dbSteps Followed:Navigated to Configuration > Privileged Access Management > Oracle Internet Directories.Clicked on "Create New Oracle Internet Directory +".Entered the name, description, and LDAP server information. Checked "Use SSL" as desired.Turned off "Use Anonymous" and entered the name and password.Clicked "Create Directory" and tested the server connection.Issue: The documentation does not provide information on how accounts are automatically discovered without performing a scan. I need guidance on how to ensure that accounts are discovered and managed correctly

Password History - minimum numbers versus days.

Hi all,Hoping to confirm how these two values in Password Safe global policy (“Minimum (days) retention for old password” and “Number of old passwords to retain”) operate when one value has been reached but not the other.Eg, if "Number of old passwords to retain" is set to 5 and minimum retention in days is set to 30:-Observation and some doco suggests that if a password is only changed once a month, password history will be kept for 150 days (despite the 30 day retention period) - assumedly delaying purging to allow the minimum of 5 old passwords to be retained.Does this apply in the reverse? Ie, with the same settings, if a password is changed daily, will Password Safe retain 30 old passwords so as to satisfy the 30 day minimum retention?Can anyone confirm?Thanks!

Quick Rules in PWS

Hi community,we have in our environment for each Windows Server a separated workgroup in active directory.I’ve seen there is no convenient way with SMART Rules to onboard the System as a Managed System with Linked Account and to make it available for each Workgroup. So I’m now thinking about to onboard the system via API Calls. What REST Calls are necessary to onboard the Windows Systems like in the documentation of the API DocDoes somebody has some experiences to onboard like this way? And How can I put the the rights to the User groups over API to Quick Rules? An example in PowerShell would be really great, but other script are also welcome.  RegardsArno

Administrative access to all vaults in Secret Safe

With Password Safe 24.3, it was mentioned to me in a call that we are able to still get access as enterprise admins to all passwords. I can’t find the instructions on how to do that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Best Practice for Secret Safe.

I’m looking for a best practices and BeyondTrust recommendations for Secrets Safe. Following is a question asked by one of my customers.  Any thoughts, please feel free to advise. Do you have a “best practice” recommendation on setting up team folders within Secrets Safe?  With our current solution it was recommended that those types of permissions only be granted via local groups to prevent possible escalation of privileges since local group membership would be managed by Password Safe admins, where Directory groups from Azure or AD could be managed by persons who shouldn’t necessarily have rights to manage such access.

Managed Account Next change date should consider Last change date

Hello Team,  We have observed a issue with PasswordSafe, where Managed Account Next change date is calculated based on Last scheduled change date. If the user changes the password manually, Next change date is not updated to new date based on Password change Frequency (Xdays). The problem observed today, is that teams who have manually changed the password for a Service account ahead of a policy based 90-day rotation, as part of a RFC change window, will suddenly have the service account password rotated automatically again (potentially just a few days later) on the 90-day rotation enforcement date by PasswordSafe - thus breaking their production service. How can we achieve this use case in such a way that Next change date is updated based on last change date (scheduled & manual)?
