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

Netbios name when connecting via PRA not available?

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.

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

Monthly Buzz - April - Privileged Remote Access

Looking to automatically backup your PRA / RS appliance on a schedule?BeyondTrust's Integration Client can help facilitate this (free of charge!). The BeyondTrust Integration Client is used to transfer session logs and recordings from the BeyondTrust Appliance B Series to an external system. Two external systems are currently supported: Microsoft SQL Server and Windows-based file systems. The BeyondTrust Integration Client supports plugins for these systems. A plugin defines the transfer details, such as the destination directory/file name or database to use. Plugin details and the standard SQL Server Schema are defined in this guide. Latest Available Version: PRA 25.1.1– April 2025 Beekeepers Hot Topics PRA Deployment Questions“Appreciate your feedback on the below queries.

Enhance performance for PRA

Hi Community,Is there any experience that latency times increase as longer as a PRA appliance runs?Subjectively, we have the impression that the PRA connection is getting slower, even within the sessions.Are there ways of measuring this objectively?What can be done to improve it? More RAM in the jump points or something similar? RegardsArno
