All our workstations are managed through Intune in User Mode, which means that there are no Admin rights on the workstations by default as part of our security hardening. Applications to be installed is dictated through the Company Portal. However we do have some apps that are very difficult to package for Company Portal deployment and BTRS is then the route to go through and through the session the engineer has the ability to elevate command prompt/powershell prompt to install the particular application. Also for admin elevated tasks, BTRS is the lifeline. Of course we do detect left and right that engineers “abuse” the rights and install apps without proper approval which in turn could be a security risk. Is there an “easy” way through any of the reports (haven't found any so far) to see who did elevation of command prompts/powershell prompts which can then be evaluated if it was correct use or abuse.  

Hello!We are running version 24.3.4 and have observed multiple Jump Clients going offline intermittently. Upon investigation, most affected clients show that the service has stopped.We’ve been using PRA for several years and have performed multiple upgrades from 20.x versions. This issue started appearing after the last 1–2 upgrades. Based on the support KBs, our current version does not appear to be impacted by any documented known issue.I’ve opened a support ticket and will provide logs, but the behavior is random and difficult to predict when it will occur again.Other users seem to have reported similar issues, and a scheduled service restart is suggested as a workaround. However, this approach is not scalable for us since we manage thousands of endpoints and have 24/7 user activity, which could negatively impact user experience. I also noticed recommendations to restart the site software. Fresh re-install will

Hello!We are using PRA Jump Client to rotate local account password on a workstation.  Is there a way to update it in auto-logon configuration . Preferably by running sysinternals auto-logon via a batch script. I think we can update the password in a service (log-on user) using PRA vault but not auto-logon .Is there a way to pass this vaulted password to a script via Endpoint automation ?

Good morning.I'm trying to inject the credentials of a Linux system into a domain that's password safe, but it connects using PRA.In PRA, when I inject the credentials, it does so without the domain.If I manually enter the username, domain, and credentials, it connects.I'd like to know how to inject the username with the full domain.Regards.

Hello,we just started with PRA and Vendors, and i wanted to add a new vendor group. When i want to choose the according group policy, i cannot pick the one i want ( it does not appear in the drop down menu). And there is that warning that states:Group Policies that grant administrative permissions are not available for Vendors.What is regarded a administrative permission? How can i find out what to change?Best regards,Sven

PRA requires a user to login a first time in order to be available in PRA for example to assign vault accounts.Unfortunately this is causing problems with new employees which are onboarded into PRA.Unless they have never logged in, administrators cannot assign personal vault accounts. If the user logs in, and does not see his/her vault account, they create tickets. This is a very large customer and it is difficult to orchestrate / communicate such a process and they would like to automatically provision new users (from AD). How do other customers provision users up-front and define vault accounts, etc. and not depend on a user’s first login?  

Jump SQL management studio with credential injection on PRA

I have multiple Database admins I need to give access to our database for. We have no resources for PAW or Internal Admin machines. Is it the purpose of Beyondtrust SQL server tunnels to be ran on BYOD device and have them tunnel SQL Studio traffic to my on prem SQL server? Has anyone done this? I believe I have the tunnel up. How do you use Management studio? My “Open datasource Client” is grayed out. How do the credentials work? Do the credentials I use for the tunnel work for everyone using the tunnel? Or do I need to create one tunnel per person?

Hi Team,We’ve a use case as mentioned below:a user initiated a web jump from BT PRA to vSphere portal and was logged in successfully. Within the vSphere portal, user selects a VM wherein vSphere gives 2 types of logins- 1.Remote & 2.Web Console. User selects web console access which then launches a new tab within the Jump Item requiring password to be entered again. The key option is disabled and looking for suggestions to enable it.

Hello, the company have started to use a OpenID Connect as a auth source on several JumpItems.I saw that per 25.2.1 version of PRA there is support for OpenID Connect as a security provider but that is for logging into the PRA? or can it be used to successfully login to a target system while using LDAPS as a security provider to login to the PRA?

Hello we are on PRA 24.3.4. I see that now we cannot install multiple jump clients on same machine. We have a use case where users have multiple computers (laptop\workstations) and use PRA to connect to those. For provisioning, we had made the Personal jump client option available per user and they were instructed to download client under their PRA login and install on their machine. Same machine has second instance of client which is pushed via SCCM. This is for IT support use case. Now that the multiple installations are not working , we need to find a way to copy existing jump client when a new user requests this type of access. We already have large number of computers and groups which are handled by API , trying to figure out a way to copy existing client when new users gets access to personal Jump item. Anyone else faced similar challenge any suggestions

In AWS, we created a Global Accelerator service and associated the Windows machines used by the Risk-Team with this accelerator service.Then, the Risk Team will access the Windows machine using the IP provided by the acceleration service.In terms of user experience, it is much smoother than directly connecting to a Windows machine, and it is convenient to operate on a Windows machine.However, after connecting to the Windows machine via PRA-Console, the fluidity decreases, operations become sluggish, which is not conducive to data processing actions. So, I would like to know if PRA has its own built-in acceleration service. Or, can I configure AWS Global Accelerator for PRA? T

Hi All,In PRA, we have a SAML security provider configured for user authentication and provisioning. User will only be provisioned when they first-time logged in.Is there anyway we can pre-provision the users by LDAP/AD Group synchronization similar functionality as Password Safe (without using SCIM). Thanks, 

We recently encountered a recurring issue impacting the accessibility of Jumpoints, which we have traced back to behaviors described in KB0021363. The root of the problem appears to be interference between the old and new network management features, particularly when IP assignments are modified either through binding on virtual machines' NICs or via IP changes on bare metal systems.ObservationsWhen these changes occur, the resulting network configuration across the multiple management interfaces becomes inconsistent. This inconsistency causes the Jumpoint to: Attempt to resolve to its own address, Become entirely unresolvable, or Exhibit packet fragmentation or corruption during analysis. Network inspection tools and bomgar logs show erratic behavior. Logs typically reveal incomplete packets or generalized packet errors, but offer no definitive indicators as to the root cause. The symptoms include:
