Hi Team, is there any way to clean/flush the password  stored in clipboard “when you do a copy of credentials from password safe , it does not get cleared automatically from your clipboard. The clipboard storers the credentials rather than clearing the clipboard after a short period of time”

Hi,Anyone else have a need to keep password history for more than one year? A problem we face is if we need to restore a windows server from more than a year ago, we won’t be able to log in via the local administrator password as it will be unknown. I know there are some workarounds where you can reset if it is an AzureVM, but having history more than a year is needed.Anyone have any smart ways to work around this limitation?Someone has already logged an idea for this if you want to vote.Allow Password History For More Than 360 | All Product Ideas - PublicThanks

Hi All,I'm new to PS but have been running RS for over a year now, we export syslog via webhooks on RS and PRA to our Rapid7 SIEM and it is working well, but I cannot seem to get it to work with PS. Any ideas?

I have strange behavior in my PasswordSafe.I am using an application session, and when I try to start an RDP Session / Start Application Session: When using the option to run on a different system with the functional account, it works perfectly. When using the option to run on the current system with the user account, the RDP session does not start. It shows a black screen for some time and then closes. When I checked the logs in the second case, I found the following: INFO: Accepted RDP session 1234 for 1.2.3.4:1234 INFO: RDP Handler 1234 starting INFO: Found RDP certificate: My:....

I can see several old sessions still appearing in the Active Sessions list in Password Safe, even though only today’s sessions should be showing.

Hi,I’m trying to find a good way to secure these generic accounts and still to be able to use them as bt- and buadmin are used on a regular basis for updates and support cases. As I have 4 appliances to manage and have high security requirements I’d need to have individual passwords, with regular changes and changes after access for each of them. It would be a challenge to manage the regular changes and make performing regular tasks challenging.I had posted an idea to use the Enterprise Updater as SPOC (Single Point of Control) which would have it’s own credentials and would have an encrypted key based connection to all appliances. From the Updater one could create individual schedules for the updates and unlock/lock them centrally. This would make tracking, planning and handling of updates a lot easier and only one generic user (buadmin) would need to be secured. I’d prefer a personal account though and leaving the generic account as a breaking glas solution. This would only cover the

Hi everyone,The end users are experiencing delay and slowness when taking RDP sessions through Password Safe on-prem. Usually they have to read logs and commands and the slow and delayed screen output is becoming a hassle for them, resulting in a very poor user experience.After some researching, I found a commonality in the solution that it an issue with the client’s network, however, they are not ready to accept it.According to them, when they take RDP directly from the U-series appliance, the session is much better but from the Web UI, it’s very delayed and slow.Has anyone here encountered an issue like this, if yes, how did you solve it.Thanks in advance.

Hello All, We have created the custom Mainframe platform to onboard the Mainframe account under Password safe. This functionality is working fine . We have a requirement to onboard the shared Ids on the custom Platform wherein one Id will be accessed  by 8 users.  Here we are facing issue that when one user checks out the Id other user gets the error saying “The account is not available during requested time”. I have seen the below KB article which says concurrent session is not available on Custom/Generic platforms and it asks to change the platform type of system to Windows/Linux which is not possible for us .https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm?sys_kb_id=cf6c24fc47a2669015c43e7d826d4394&id=kb_article_view&sysparm_rank=2&sysparm_tsqueryId=6c5caa3f47d436501bf1db37536d43b3 My requirement here is , is there any workaround available which we can use from which users can at least  view the password from Password safe for these shared ids ?.  If users can view the passwo

Hi Elevate registry and allow changes only to particular section in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\xxx and nothing else.

Hello Community! I guess at least one people had is problem.Some times depending on the environment (cloud or on-prem) when we are just navigating between the menus, when we click to go to configuration, smart rules or any other menu, simply the Webconsole gets logged out.Other scenario is when we are using the webconsole and stops to user for few seconds (and really is few seconds) and appears the message "will be logged out soon/extend session"Have someone get this case? If yes, exists a reason for that and consequently the fix for that?Obs: in System > Site Options > Session: the time for Session Timout is already on a high time.Regards,Felipe 

Hi team,We have onboarded WINSCP as application in Beyondtrust password safe (cloud).  We are facing one challenge here where after application is launched using functional account , how can user transfer file from his local machine to RDS server. As WINSCP is launched to connect to target linux server , I want to understand since the file will be at user local machine , how can user move it to target linux system.I am sending the winscp application screen shot for reference . Awaiting response. Thanks in advance .Regards,Imran Aliyani

We are using a SmartRule with the Selection Attribute Criteria “Directory Attribute Match” using the employeeID attribute to map privileged account as dedicated account for a user only. This all works fine but we are worried if somehow the source system (e.g. AD) is messing with the data of this attribute employeeID, e.g. deleting the value (e.g. AD Admin not aware of that field, doing cleanup, etc.) or being tampered. This privileged acount then would be exposed to all the users (with access to that Managed Account group). How can this be prevented or found/reported which accounts may have an issue. I understand data quality is key here but with such a highly security related topic of privileged accounts one always has to assume that the source (AD) might be wrong and counter-measures must be possible on both side (source and consumer, i.e. PasswordSafe)

Hello Beekeeper Community,I’m curious to hear how others handle the following:Onboarding:easy: AD query, smart rules, and we have managed account. Offboarding:When a managed account deleted from AD , the password can’t locate the user. Also, there doesn’t seem to be a smart rule capability to identify which accounts are in Password Safe and which are not, to help with automated cleanup and management.How do you manage this process? Any tips or best practices would be appreciated!Regards,Maulik
