How to manage local scan account and functional account step by step

Hello Everyone, I can understand the logic behind the automatic password rotation of local functional account even if we have new server onboarded using same first functional account credentials, but it is untested. i am trying to test it and update it once done. Regarding the Local scan account i actually do not have any idea that how can we manage it (Using enable scanner on managed account i know but what if we have onboarded 100 servers and now we need to scan 100 more and the scan account is using old credentials on remaining 100 servers also if i need to perform the scanning on old scanned assets?)There are lots of questions in my mind regarding the management of local scan accounts.Please feel free everyone to share your recommendations………………………….

Prevention of sensitive info ON Workforce Password Manager UI

On user interface there are many fields which allows users to enter clear text info. We have seen users adding passwords, secrets, credentials entering these fields which also get stored as clear text in DB. We want to stop / prevent users submitting such info from UI. 1) How do we configure / control this? 2) How do we change label of such fields to warn users not to enter such info 3) How do we add a custom banner to warn / alert users not to enter sensitive info anywhere in WPM / Secret Safe / Password Safe? We were able to add similar banner in ERPM PI. We need such customization for Password Safe / WPM and Secret Safe.

Migration of Personal Vault from ERPM PI to Workforce Password

We are moving from ERPM PI to Workforce Password Manager (24.2.1.104). To have easy adoption of WPM, its important for us to provide some migration utility from PI to WPM during initial setup. It will be really bad for us to go back to end users telling we are moving to new product and now you migrate your own accounts to new product after using ERPM PI for years. What are the various options (partial or full migration). We need this to plan adoption strategies.

Password Safe Cloud RDS Server Architecture & Port Requirements

Hello Guys, I’m new to BeyondTrust world but have fair understanding of PAM architecture.I’m trying to understand the RDS server role in the Password Safe Cloud architecture. The current architecture shared by BT emphasises on Resource Broker and thats where I have clear understanding of Resource Broker from application & network perspective. However, RDS Server is not covered in detailed in any document or article. I only understand that RDS Server is required for session management for non RDS/SSH connections. But, where does it fit in the architecture?I assume the flow of Database session management may look like:End user Workstation -→ Resource Broker (TCP/4489)  -→ RDS Server (TCP/3389)   --→ Database (e.g. TCP 1521/1433) I’m keen to understand below points with respect to RDS Server:Network requirements for RDS Server. Does it connect to any other component (PS Cloud) except Resource Broker & target system (DB etc.) Does RDS Server store the session recording temporarily?

Single Sign on Experience via Remote Desktop services when a session started via password safe

I have a windows 2019 server enabled with RDS services and password safe for users that need to have privileged access to cloud apps that are onboarded as enterprise apps in Entra / Azure. How can i give users a single on sign experience when they do not have access to the account password? I am trying to avoid published apps and keep my admin overheads as low as possible.Has any here been able to make this happen? I had something running to support this when we had ADFS, but sadly we have moved on.

Everything about LDAPs and more...

Hi everyone, hope y’all having a great holiday season so far! We’ve been reading non stop KB0017007 and could not get to work the LDAPs with the rotation of accounts. All of this was detected by a customer that captured the traffic between Password Safe and their AD and saw the credentials when the appliance rotated the passwords. We tried every extention of Certificates (PBX,Cert,etc) and nothing could seem to work, so I come forward asking for some experience from everyone. Best practices say the UVM should not not be added to the AD (due to possbile GPO issues and other), and the customer uses a “*.customer.com” (wildcard) certificate for their whole roster of Servers, dont know how that pans out here. Ports are ok, so far. So, connectivity issues are the least to check for now. What are your experiences when Configuring and Enabling this feature? any tips and tricks or additional information are highly thanked. Kind regards.

Appliance locking out AD account.

2 of our 5 appliances are locking my AD account. The lockouts of my ad account are coming from these two serversthese appliances are not domain joined.The only time I use my ad account on these servers is:to log into the web UI. to map network drives to move files on and off.This started back in April and wound up turning them off. turned them back on a week and a half ago and deleted the btadmin profile and that seemed to clear up the problem. then earlier this week I had to map a network drive to get files on and off the appliance and it started happening again. when I map the drives I do not save my password nor do I set it to reconnect on login but something on the appliances is locking my account out.we have checked the credential manager and there are no passwords there. we have checked the net use command and there are no persistent mappings. we have searched through the registry and there are no entries tied to my AD account.I tried deleting the profile again but this time it d

Password Safe (on-prem) Analysis Report

Per release notes for 24.2.1, the BeyondInsight Analysis feature is planned to be removed on the next release. The logic behind removing this feature is that this report is akin to the Windows event logs; it contains a lot of details that can be confusing to lesser experienced PAM administrators. This has led to support cases for BT and I don’t blame them for wanting to depreciate this. However, if you have an on-premise Password Safe environment with more than a few UVM’s, this tool can be very valuable if you want to get a quick glimpse of your entire environment vs. having to go to each UVM/Worker node to gather information.I have created an “Aha!” idea (Analyzer Results (Please Don't Remove | All Product Ideas - Public) asking that this be reconsidered.Does anyone else find this tool useful? If so, check out the idea link above and give it an upvote.

Linking Smart Rule

This is a suggestion for a smart rule feature. When a linking smart rule (for managed systems) is linked to a directory domain account (managed account), if a managed account is manually removed from the systems assigned to it by the linking smart rule, the systems are added back to the managed account when the linking smart rule processes. Can we have a feature that allows Password Safe to exclude any managed accounts that have been manually removed from the linking rule when it processed?

Use Case: No Centralised PAM Team

Hey Guys,I have got a use case where my client does not have a centralise PAM team to control end to end asset/accounts onboarding to Password Safe (PS) and manage the BT upgrade. I can think of a solution as BT tool related tasks (patching/upgrading etc.) can be taken by Infra/ IT team and 1 person from each application team (Linux, Windows, Database etc.) can be given permission to perform a set of actions like onboard asset/account, manually trigger update/change password, approve request etc.Application Team owners will be provided with End User Guide explaining each task they can perform so they have all the resources they need.I see there is ISA role which I can leverage for Application Owners but it gives a lot of unwanted permission.Is there any other way where I can create another role in BeyondTrust Password Safe to cater my specifics?Thanks in advance!   :)Disclaimer: I have worked in other PAM tools where this was achievable but not sure in BT aspect as I’m new to BT.
