Vendor user is facing issues while trying to launch a shell jump session (via Jumpoint) from Mac endpoint.

Hello, we have set up PRA web jump for multiple websites including some Cisco device GUIs. With Cisco DNA / Catalyst center website it is timing out. This website uses HTML tags that change for each page refresh. Based on the jump point logs , PRA successfully detects the tags for username, password and submit button but at the end it gives credential injection timed out error. We have the timeout set to max value of 30 seconds. PRA version is 23.1.2. If we select no credential the website opens fine as PRA web jump. I can log in by manually entering the password. The webpages before and after login are different\. (I see a KB that says it may timeout of URL doesnt chnage after password injection). I read in another post that the ‘inject credentials in current URL’ doesn’t work for web-jumps .Is there any workaround method using PRA. Like RDP to a server , open browser and click on inject creds button. Or anything needs to be changed in web jump backend config on jump-po

Hi everyone,I have an problem when configuring Jump Approval in my PRA and I would like to know if it’s a bug or if I missed something.I've created a Jump Policy requiring users to request approval to access machines.In the approvers, I've set up a team called the “IT Team” and I've indicated that they can't approve their own requests.There are two members in “IT Team”.When one of the members tries to connect to a machine, a form asks him to enter a reason and a duration. In the Remote Access Console, the user who made the request does not see any notification and cannot self-approve. The second team member can. It works in the other way round.The problem here is that the user who made the request, who normally can't self-approve, still receives an approval link by e-ma

Has anybody got any experience of upgrading PRA from 23.3.3 to 25.1.2 with regards to the jumpclient on Windows 2008R2 and 2012R2.  We have a few legacy servers which for various reasons we don’t want to switch to RDP Jumps.  I appreciate running the jumpclient on 2008R2 and 2012R2 is officially unsupported but I’d be interest if anyone has the experience of running the client on these OS’s.

Hello! is there any documentation that includes example parameters/strings that should be used while launching apps using PRA BT desktop agent. Admin guide has details of configuration options but nothing further e.g. example strings. I am able to connect to RDP using first set of  credentials , at one time was able to launch web browser but later started seeing error in chat windows that says file name/path could not be found.

Hello,I have a customer who is having a question about the Vendors section of the PRA.In the customer's environment, there is only one group of Vendors, and they are complaining that they can only perform Web Jumps in 3 sessions simultaneously. Is this the limit or is there a way that can be configured so that they can perform more jumps?

can we only upgrade PRA base to 7.4 while on 24.x.x or it’s must to upgrade PRA site to 25.x.x after upgrading Base to 7.4 ?

Hi all,we upgraded our PRA cloud instance from 24.3.x to 25.1.2 one week ago.After the activity we are facing some issues in connecting to our resources using network tunnel jumps. No modification of configuration of firewalls, network, jumpoint and jump items. Starting a debug activity, errors that occurring are the following:IPT:ERROR>Exception enumerating filter rules while getting IP address for name server pointers. failed to convert IP address stringException - failed building the DNS PTR list Do we need to create lookup zones and PTR record for every target that we need to reach through network tunnel jumps? No issues before the upgrade. Thanks in advance,Massimo

Hi everyone,I'm looking into ways to automate some actions with BeyondTrust PRA. Specifically, I'm wondering if anyone has managed to: Automatically log in to the BeyondTrust console Launch a "Tunnel" type Jumpoint automatically, without manual intervention. The goal would be to have a script or integration that, once authenticated, can open a tunnel through a pre-configured Jumpoint — useful for automations or third-party tool integrations.Has anyone done something similar, or knows if this is possible using the BeyondTrust API or any other method?

Just trying to see what is your current data retention period for Session Recordings. I understand this depends on various factors - compliance requirements, deployment size/usage , cost-benefit, Org maturity level   etc. But posting this to get a sense of how other users are managing it . We have around 60-90 days live on appliance, plus another 90 days on a network share. As the usage increases the session recordings data is growing exponentially. But at the same time investigations may require some historical data as well. 

In the ideas portal A10-I-249 someone suggested being able to re-inject credentials when running a sudo or su command. The idea was marked as already implemented. Is there any documentation on how to achieve this or can anyone provide steps to accomplish this without setting the sudoers file to passwordless?

Hello is there data at rest encryption available in PRA inbuilt? or need to configure with key management solutions? Found whitepaper etc but it just mentions steps to integrate with KMS.

Can the netbios name be made available for PRA and Password Safe, not just the domain name? domainname\username doesn’t work on all applications; some legacy platforms it has to be the netbios name.
