Privileged Remote Access

This might be a bit too big of a question for this forum. However, I am not sure where to start. We are still somewhat new to PRA. I am wanting to start using Docker containers for our jumpoints instead of putting them on Linux instances. First, where do I go to download the container image? I heard that there is a stock image that we would use and then just input the key to start the connection to our system. Second, can we put the container in a service like AWS container service or Azure container service? Third, and this will show my very beginner level of experience with containers, would we do the firewall rules for the containers the same way that we do them for the Linux servers that are jumpoints?I have a feeling there are other items that I am totally missing, but I figured this is a good start. If you know of documentation you can point me to I am more than happy to start reading and testing things out. 

Hi all Does anyone has the same issue with Jump Policies set directly on Jump Items not having an effect.In general, we set the Jump Policy on Jump Groups via a Group Policy so each Jump Item within that Jump Group gets the same Jump Policy. There is the ability to set a Jump Policy directly on the Jump Item which should take effect for this single Jump Item and overrite the Jump Policy assigned by the Group Policy. It looks like in the version 25.1.4, 25.2.1 and 25.2.2 this does not work anymore. Has anyone else the same issue?

We are looking for new ways to upgrade our BTRS environment due to after every update we face new issues we like to avoid. This time due to our deployment through Microsoft Intune we had several file detections in place which all have been made obsolete due to drastic changes in the install behaviour of the Jump Client into new directory and other file changes inside, causing an automated reinstallation of the jump client duplicating and consuming more licenses until of course we run out of licenses. In the past we always did uninstall and install where we also had auto update on causing extreme license consumptions which we try to avoid. If the application is still properly detected even updated or not, it will not trigger a new install and does not duplicate a license, in 1 case I even found a device consuming 29 licenses because it kept trying to install and not detected retriggering the install. The last time we did not use so called Intune supersedence and tried to stay within the

I am experiencing an issue with the Bring Your Own Tool (BYOT) option when attempting to open a Remote RDP session using an external tool. For some endpoints, the session initiates but terminates within 1-2 seconds. This behavior is inconsistent, as it works fine for other endpoints. Based on the link below, we have upgraded our appliance to 25.1.4 but this did not resolve.https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0022851Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,we’re currently running BeyondTrust PRA 25.1.x and are looking for a way to delegate vendor management tasks to an internal operations team.We have several vendors in PRA, and we’d like to have an internal team that’s responsible for managing a subset of them. Ideally, this internal team should be able to: Create and delete vendor user accounts Extend or reactivate expired vendor accounts Send password reset emails to vendor users Basically, they should act as vendor administrators for specific vendor groups — but without being full PRA admins.We’ve looked through the admin console and documentation, but it seems there’s currently no privilege or role that grants “vendor admin” rights — i.e., no way to delegate vendor user management without also granting global admin access.Questions: Is there any supported method to delegate vendor user management (create / extend / reset) to internal users without giving them full administrative rights? Has anyone implemented somet

I’m wondering if anyone has found a way to use a Kubernetes Cluster Tunnel effectively within BeyondTrust PRA, as documented here: https://docs.beyondtrust.com/pra/docs/jump-shortcuts#create-a-kubernetes-cluster-tunnelPrimarily what I’m curious about is how to use the temporarily generated KubeConfig and actually authenticate to a cluster? The KubeConfig that is generated doesn’t appear to do credential injection from PRA, nor can I utilize Azure CLI to get credentials for my AKS cluster injected. It seems like it would be a very poor user experience to have to have locally stored cluster credentials which must be added to the generated KubeConfig every time a connection is made. In addition, this is completely divergent from the patterns of PRA and Remote RDP where a user doesn’t have access to privileged credentials at all (due to credential injection). I have searched through documentation and opened a support ticket without getting any real answers, so I thought I’d reach out to th

Hi team,I’ve deployed a Jump Client installer with the "Maximum Offline Minutes Before Deletion" parameter set to zero, specifically to prevent the clients from being removed due to offline status. However, I’m seeing three systems currently marked as "Pending Removal" in the console.These systems have been offline since deployment, and I haven’t manually marked them for deletion. Could this be related to appliance updates, license limits, or some backend policy?Is there a way to cancel the pending removal status without reinstalling the Jump Client?Thanks in advance for your support!

Hi,Could anyone explain how the Advanced Web Access feature in BeyondTrust PRA actually works?Additionally, what are the practical and technical differences between using Advanced Web Access and a traditional WebJump item for accessing web consoles or administration portals? 

I'm looking to see if I'm correct in how to read the Active Client licenses.When I look in our BTRS consol dasbhoard we see the amount of Client Agents purchased under: Total Active Jump Clients AllowedLet's say this amount is 20000 licenses.Now when I scroll down in this same page, I see a usage under: Remote Support Active Jump ClientLet's say this amount is 4500 licenses.When I navigate to the BeyondTrust Representative Consol I see at the bottom: 18000 Jump clients Total / 4500 online / 13500 offline.Would this mean I have only 2000 licenses left to use out of 20000, or do we have 15500 licenses left to use, ignoring how many installations we have, meaning for all we know, we can have 50000 Jump clients total installed, but we should never exceed 20000 online.

I’ve noticed a couple annoying issues since updating PRA from 25.1.1 to 25.1.2. We only exclusively use Jump Clients to Windows Servers and Clients through the console, and here’s what I’ve noticed:During the connection process after logging into Windows, if you switch focus to a different tab/connection and then come back, the jump client will have connected, but you will not have mouse control. You can use keyboard control or use any of the quick commands from the Console, but in order to get mouse control back, you must fully disconnect and reconnect back into the jump client, ensuring you don’t switch focus to a different server. This one is pretty consistent and can be reproduced almost every time. This one is a little more random and doesn’t always happen, but I’ve noticed it happening often now since the PRA update. In order to launch applications in Windows, I have the habit and clicking the Windows Start key and immediately start typing the product/application I need to launch

In Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access, some binaries will undergo a name change. Client name changes for Windows took place in 25.1. In 25.2, files for Mac/Linux clients as well as Jumpoints for all operating systems will be changed. In addition, directory name changes will take place, changing from Bomgar, to BeyondTrust for new installations. Existing installations will not be impacted. No action is necessary for these changes to occur, but if you are currently whitelisting directories or binaries by name with your endpoint security, you may need to update your whitelist configuration to accommodate the name changes.  Old Name New Name bomgar-scc sra-scc bomgar-pec sra-scc bomgar-rep sra-con bomgar-acc sra-con bomgar-jpt sra-jpt bomgar-sjt sra-sjt bomgar-sjp sra-sjp bomgar-rfb sra-rfb bomgar-rdp sra-rdp bomgar-rdt sra
