Privileged Remote Access

Hello,I am currently implementing PRA failover using the guide available at BeyondTrust PRA Failover Documentation, and I have a few questions that I hope you can help with: I’ve attached our network diagram. Based on the failover guide, it seems that the only applicable method for our setup is DNS Swing. This is because the two appliances are located in separate data centers with different IP schemas, making the Shared IP method unfeasible. Additionally, since the data centers have different public IP addresses, NAT Swing would not work either. Could you please confirm if my understanding is correct? Regarding DNS Swing: When the primary PRA fails, do I need to manually log in to the DNS server and update the domain name to point to the backup P

Is there a command line we can run on machines to prompt them to update the jump client? i.e.: Simulate right clicking on a jump client in the representative console and clicking update?  We just updated our site software, and I am wondering about the best way to slowly rollout the jump client updates. Generally, the process we take would be updating the IT department, the business pilot, then start staging it out to production. We deploy our jump client via the generic .msi install. There are a couple methods that I can think of, but each has their downsides. Selecting jump items through the console and clicking “Update”. Downsides: This would take forever to manually do for a few hundred pilot machines Deploying via the Jump Client Auto Update settings. Downsides: No control over who gets the updates Deploying via the .msi installer. Downsides: You must uninstall the old version, then install the new version (This resets all of

Hello,I'm having trouble with the credential injection feature in the web jump section. It doesn't fill in and even selecting the options and looking at the documentation isn't working. Is anyone else having the same problem?

We currently have a support group linked with a group policy and in turn session policy where the group policy is updated with members through SAML import from our EntraID. This generates the authorized access for all the members in this support group to all our devices. I'm currently trying to set up another group where we have only a few members in that gets access granted to devices that are allowed unattended access meaning no prompt when taking over the device. However whatever I apply and change, the account that is in the main SAML import group and now added to the unattended access policy as well, keeps the prompt when taking over the device and it seems that the main support group keeps overruling the unattended policies. Done some digging and when I use a local account (actual BT consol) and when entering this user account, I have a nice overview in the membership detail with priority. However when I look in the account that is imported through SAML, I

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?

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?
