Good afternoon community,I would like to ask a question regarding the installation of BeyondTrust Access Console on macOS devices.Currently, the Access Console installer for macOS is only available for download in .dmg format. We contacted BeyondTrust directly, and they confirmed that there is currently no native .pkg version officially available.However, they also mentioned that some customers have successfully created their own conversions to .pkg format for corporate deployments, although BeyondTrust does not provide support for that process.I would like to know if anyone in the community has previously completed this process and could share any recommendations, experiences, or best practices for correctly generating the .pkg file and deploying it while avoiding corruption issues or installation failures.I look forward to your comments, and thank you very much in advance. 

Is it possitble to generate a Jump Client Installer, that can only be installed once, or that is restricted to specific endpoint? I think the answer is no, but a client really wants this.

We are interested in enabling this option: Force the closure of windows that were opened during the session. We expect that it will close any opened command prompts that are elevated from run as etc. But will it also close other applications that are open done by the user like word/outlook etc. The explanations found on internet and the bt documentation don't say much and would like to know more on this, or if anyone else has enabled it and can tell me what exactly is happening with all the apps that are open when the engineer jumps onto the machine does his bit and jumps off again. We also don't see an option to test it or assign it to a test group to experience the behaviour as it seems to be an all or nothing setting.

The supported platform matrix for the PRA Integration Client only goes up to SQL Server 2022. Is their a roadmap/timeline for supporting for Azure SQL PaaS offering (@2025), or is there a configuration on it which can be made to make it supportable? ThanksChris

Hello!I am curious to know what type of filtering and packet inspection controls are typically recommended/used for on-prem PRA/RS appliances. As typical use cases (e.g. remote users, vendor access etc.) require the appliance to be external network facing , it is not feasible to restrict access to IP ranges. Based on KB articles SSL Offloading is not supported for client to appliance communication.Question: What typical network security controls are recommended apart from restricting the outbound from appliance, blocking known-bad source IPs, and segmentation.Anyone using Web App Firewalls , NGFWs or IDPS effectively ? Are there any resources available that can help identifying know benign traffic vs malicious traffic ?

We have enabled Log "Run As" Special Action Commands in the Session Reports, but is there a way to extract just this specific details to see on which devices this has been run? I've checked back and forth the reportings, exported many reports, but none seem to have this data..

Like the title says, I have a couple of non-domainjoined windows VMs, which I would like to be able to use multisessions on, credential injection works fine obviously for the Jump point object, meaning the local account credentials are managed in PRA, but Remote RDP doesn’t seem to support it, unless I’m missing something.We do not use Password Safe, only the built in credential Vault.

Hi, is there a way in PRA console to identify which Jumpitems are being used by user to stablish connection to end points? Just want to make sure all my 4 jumpitems are being used.

Ran into an issue while upgrading to 25.3.3 (and 26.1.1 + Base 8.2) this week, maybe I’m incorrect in my assertion but I’ve updated our appliance several times since going live, and haven’t had this issue before.After updating to 25.3.3 all of our Desktop clients stopped working, we use SAML auth, and the SAML itself works fine, we see successful logins, but when the login is complete, the desktop console doesn’t do anything, it remains in its default state, waiting for you to press login, and the cycle repeats.I tested this both on going from 25.3.2 to 25.3.3 and 26.1.1, with desktop consoles both on 25.3.2 and 25.3.3, same thing on both.Again, I’ve updated the appliance several times, without the need to manually re-install the desktop console.SAML login to the /login page and /console page in web works fine.

Hi everyone, I’m quite new to BeyondTrust and am completing the Privileged Remote Access - BCIE course.I wanted to know the difference between a Remote RDP Jump Item vs Remote Jump Item.Is Remote RDP Jump similar to using a VM session?Thanks in advance!

Hello,We are currently integrating credential injection from Password Safe into PRA for Cisco devices using the Shell Jump method.Users are able to successfully authenticate and access the devices with the injected credentials. However, when they attempt to enter "enable" mode to perform configuration changes, the system prompts for the password again.At this point, no credential injection prompt or window is displayed, so users are required to manually enter the password. Since the credentials were injected automatically during the initial login, the users do not have visibility of the password and cannot proceed.There is any feature or recommended approach that allows re-injecting or reusing the credentials once inside the shell session (for example, when escalating to enable mode).Thank you.

Hi all, On a Linux Jumpoint, in order for the Web Jump to work, there are a few dependencies that need to be corrected, most of which are included in the POST_INSTALLATION_NOTES text file, like the following:*** NOTE ***If the Web Jump feature is going to be used on Ubuntu 24.04+ or on a similarlyderived Linux distribution, then an AppArmor profile needs to be added by running:    sudo cp "/home/user/Jumpoint/apparmor-profile" /etc/apparmor.d/sra-jpt-1770209519    sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/sra-jpt-1770209519 Another dependency is the X11 driver, which is included in the KB for the installation of the Jumpoint (Install a Linux Jumpoint | RS). However, even after completing the above steps, I was getting the following error:/home/user/Jumpoint/sra-web failed with exit c

Hi  I have configured PRA where I have jump client and a RDP for a windows Server, when I am accessing I strangely started noticing that Over the Mouse there is a black dot which keeps moving along with the Mouse Arrow cursor. the problem is that they are not in sync, there is a kind of lag, is there a way to fix the Mouse having that black dot., can we remove it.

We have Cimplicity Webspace in our environment, which is web based. The main dashboard does not have a login screen, but each page off of the main page is an embedded IDE object that has its own authentication. We are trying right now to run the application as a Web Jump, but Web Jump does not see the authentication fields because they are in the embedded IDE and not HTML fields.Has anyone found a way to use Cimplicity Webspace with PRA?

Hello , I see there is only TOTP MFA option in PRA . We are using PRA for external Vendor access where the accounts are quarterly reviewed but as the number of vendor grows , manual errors might increase. Also as the review can not be made more frequent , there is a possibility that Terminated vendor user still has access as they know their PRA login password and have TOTP MFA configured using a personal mobile device. These user identities are in Active Director as well as PRA internal DB. Is there any way to implement email-based MFA so that terminated user will immediately lose access as they wont have access to company email ?I see Radius auth and OKTA can be used both have separate trade-offs
