Monthly Buzz - May - Privileged Remote Access

RS/PRA failover configuration Can RS or PRA failover be configured so a specific appliance automatically reclaims the primary role once it comes back online? No, once a failover occurs, the IP address associated with the hostname is assigned to the backup appliance. This IP address is no longer available without manual intervention. When the former primary appliance comes back online, it checks to see if the hostname and IP address are available. If they are not available, because they are being used by the backup appliance, it will not reclaim them and will not switch back to primary.After a failover, all connections are established with the backup appliance, which is acting as the primary. Additionally, configuring one appliance to always assume the primary role could lead to further disruptions after a failover, as everything is still connected to the backup appliance.Read more here Latest Available Version:Privileged Remote Access 25.1.1 - April 2025 Beekeepers Hot Topics PRA - AD

Strange behavior of network tunnel jumps after upgrading to 25.1.2

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

Automate Login and Jump Tunnel

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?

Log Retention Period for Session Recordings

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.

PRA Shell Jump sudu/su and credential injection so that our admins can use sudo without needing to know their password.

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?

Network Tunnel drops connectivity on Jumpoint temporary fix, KB0021363 related

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: Dropped connections, Fluctuating tunnel availability, Inconsistent routing beha
