In our situation we currently create 1 BT jump client MSI installer which we then package and add to our Intune environment for deployment on all our workstations (approx 40k) From the consol perspective it is then just 1 big pool of devices and all our IT and support presentatives can access the workstations where required to provide the needed support. We are currently reviewing this strategy to reduce this visibility initiating RBAC like we also do in our Intune environment where many especially device visibilities are reduced due to applying scope tags and in turn apply security groups which limits the views of our IT. This of course is something we should/could do in BT, however there is no such rule or something available that if device starts with USLT or DELT it will be assigned to X group policy/session policy and then linked to the allowed representative and learned that this is initiated through the client itself hosting the tags and optionsWe'

I am trying to update our PRA on-prem instance but it stuck at 99% for almost 3 hours now. What is solution for this? The screenshot is below:Thank you!

Hello All!We have seen that in one of our use cases , PRA remote screen sharing was not good enough - video lags , ghost mouse etc. This group of users have GPU intensive applications - 3D modelling etc. The remote machines are Ubuntu systems, They use NoMachine which apparently is better than PRA. With PRA they see more lags. Is there a way to use hardware acceleration , tweak compression settings to improve performance. NW bandwidth should not be a concern.

Has anyone had any challenges When configuring Failover with a shared IP on AWS Cloud host Manager appliances. We previously had Virtual appliance provisioned in VMWare (Failover configuration worked properly) and moved to AWS cloud host, since then Failover configuration does not seem to work. Wonder if we should have any additional setting in AWS or if there are any caveats to the Failover settings in Cloud-hosted PRA appliances.

Hi,I am looking for an article/reference/document that could help me setup a backup for PRA software configuration automatically. This means, I am planning to set a schedule to backup the PRA software. Any thoughts and help are greatly appreciated!  Thank you.

In the PRA Cloud 23.3.4 instance, Jump Shortcuts Mass Import Wizard  is missing under Jump Items. Is there any configuration or setting has to be enabled for this wizard to show? Thanks,Prudhvi

Hello,We have a BeyonTrust PRA OnPremise Virtual Machine (latest version). We have admin email configured in the /appliance settings, and test mails are successful. But we do not receive emails when a new version is available.How can we be notified when there is an update available?Thanks in advanceMarcus

Team, what are the platforms that are supported for password rotation using the PRA Vault?Does it support Linux, Windows (Ad and Local), and Network Devices (i.e Fortinet, Cisco, etc)? I didn't find the list of supported platforms in the Beyondtrust documentation.​​​​​

We have an in/out board application we want to present to domain users through beyondtrust when offsite. In testing the user logs in to beyondtrust with domain credentials, and then is prompted again 2x on the website.  Internally it tries sso with logged in user, then prompts if user not found. Is there way to run the web jump as the domain user that logged into PRA so they don’t have to re-enter username and password?  Or any other way around that?

How to Import using jump shortcuts for Network Tunnel, we do not have any template for that.

almost every attempt on web jump times out. changing the Authentication Timeout works but next time have to changed it again and again.some URL launched but appears as below. checked outside PRA URL is working fine. 

Hi, I’m alooking for some example around the btapi.exe usage. Command lines are pretty understandable and usable with options and arguments but I don’t know the file format for inputs. Apparently we can use json format or key=value format but I have never been succeeded to provide inputs to command as “add user”.If somebody can provide me a json file example to create local users through btapi it will be wonderful :)

Has anyone moved from cloud-hosted PRA instance to on-prem virtual or physical appliance ? or vice-versa. Was there any significant difference noticed on remote access session performance - jump clients , RDP using JumPoint. I know many factors will impact this but lets say PRA user and remote server both are on-prem and PRA appliance is moved from cloud to on-prem. Theoretically, there should be performance improvement. Trying to see if this is worth the time and effort , if someone has already done it :-)

Hi team Do you know if SQL tunnel support connection to multiple instance of the same SQL Database ?Customers can configure SQL Server Tunnel jump items to connect to the default instance but how does a customer configure a SQL Server Tunnel jump item to connect to databases installed on non default SQL server instances? Is this even supported?

Hello,I have a Windows 2022 Jumpoint. I tried to create a group policy but found the “Web Jump” option is missing on “Access Permissions” section. Anyone knows why? Thanks, 

On Ubuntu 24.04, the PRA console freezes when attempting to load the credential injection screen. When this happens, the process becomes completely unresponsive, requiring a manual termination. I’ve tested multiple PRA versions, and the issue occurs in all of them. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior, or does anyone know how to fix it?

Could multiple users connect to the same Jump client? Windows RDP has 2 users limitation. Does it also apply to Jump client? Thanks,

Hello, we imported the PRA on-prem appliances to the DMZ, downloaded the console but the console uses a pre-defined hostname that came from the BeyondTrust license email. Would it be possible to change this hostname to match our naming conventions? Thanks,

Guys, hello! I created a script that gets a Managed Account from Password Safe and creates the same account as a Vault Account on the PRA or if the account already exists, just update the password, description and vault group which the account should belong.Its something we are using in some enviroments that have both PS and PRA, that way the user does not have to manually request the password to use in a Tunnel Jump, as the native integration is not compatible with credential injection.

after upgrading to 24.3.2, we are facing issues jump approvals.if Jump policy is set, it doesn’t appear in console. Shows ‘None’ if it’s applied and requester sends request, Approver doesn’t receive notification.  Anyone facing such behavior or I’m I missing something.
