How to Perform SCP/SFTP Transfers Between Managed Linux Systems via Password Safe?

Hello community,I have a question regarding our use of Password Safe. In our organization, we use Password Safe to access privileged SSH sessions. However, a question recently came up: since Password Safe is our only access method to managed Linux systems and credentials are never exposed to users, we're wondering how we could securely perform SCP or SFTP file transfers between two of our managed Linux systems.Has anyone encountered a similar scenario or found an effective approach for handling file transfers in a Password Safe-controlled environment?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Difference between Scheduled Password Change and Force Change Password

Hi, Does anyone encountered scheduled password change fails due to permission denied error however if you use force change password, it successfully changed the password? The system is Ubuntu and I wonder, what’s the difference between those 2 functionality. The account settings option for the Ubuntu managed account is configured to use a functional account when changing password and Use Own Credential is disabled. If I try to simulate the changing of password on the server, the passwd <managed account> command doesn’t work due to an error showing “passwd: You may not view or modify password information for <managed account>”. If I run the command, sudo passwd <managed account>, it requires us to input the sudo password. With this two commands unable to work properly, I wonder why the force change password works? Any idea?  Cheers~!

how to setup email notifications to the service account owners once the password is rotated in password safe

We have the following use case:  Onboard the service account to password safeNotify the service account owners with the new password when the password is rotated in password safe. The password need to be communicated to the service account owners for any external service account usage beyond password safe  The service account password should be updated by the password safe on the underlying windows services/scheduled tasks/ IIS application pools.I would like to understand the feasibility on the email notifications, password updates on the services and any challenges that anyone faced while onboarding the service accounts.

System Event viewer filled with warnings. What do these even mean?

I’ve noticed lately that our system event viewer in is filled with warnings.  Most of them are complete gibberish to me.  Most are like this but with different IDs: CPP: Postpone CQ item due to active Release Request Id:(3753), Expiration time: 5/29/2025 10:33:17 PM UTC - ChangeQueue: id=18576, MAid=663, FAid=, MSid=5, SubDt=2025-05-29 13:33:07 UTC, ChgDt=2025-05-29 13:33:07 UTC, Reason=R, ProcStartDt= UTC, NumFail=, RelID=, ReqID=3751, RemoteCl=false, OWA= These come in sometimes multiple times a minute.  Just for the last 15 minutes, there are 130 of these. There are over 5000 in the past 24 hours.  What is this trying to tell me?

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?

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

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”.
