Hi,I would have a question to anyone, who has experience with installing Jump Clients with a golden image.The question would be, will the installers be still valid after each PRA upgrade? Is there any best practice or guide how this should be done properly?Many thanks for any answer.

Many times sites will use a unique port other than the standard 443 and 80. Is there a way to utilize web jumps with non standard ports? Sites are SSL enabled. Example: https://site.com:12345/login

Hello,Please, has anyone faced or is going through this? At first, it works normally on the local server, but not on the PRA application. It is impacting a lot to continue with visibility. The screen goes white when loading.

Hello,I’ve encountered an unusual issue with the failover backup instance. Under the "Sync Now" section, the timestamp for the last data sync displays as:"The last data-sync was successfully pulled at 01/01/1970 12:00:00 AM."Has anyone seen this behavior before? Could you please advise on how to resolve it?Thank you.

Hello,I am currently testing our PRA failover setup, which uses the DNS Swing method.Configuration:Setting Primary site setting Backup site setting Enable Backup Operations off on Auto data-sync interval 5 minutes 5 minutes Bandwidth limiting unlimited  unlimited Enable Automatic Failover on on Primary site instance timeout 5 minutes 5 minutes Below are the test steps and observations:Test Steps:1. Both appliances synchronized successfully.2. Shut down the primary appliance.3. The load balancer automatically updated the DNS to point to the secondary appliance.4. After a few minutes, the secondary appliance became the primary.5. Powered the first appliance back on.6. The load balancer automatically updated the DNS back to the first appliance.7. However, after waiting for 10 minutes, the primary role remained with the second appliance.Question:Is there a way to automatically have the first appliance reclaim the primary role once it comes back online?Thank yo

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

Hi Team,We have a PRA Cloud tenant deployed and there are NO network restrictions setup on /login console. From US, we are able to access the Access Console, but our users from India team are unable to access and getting below error. They can access /login console but not Access Console. Are there any logs that I can verify or what might be the cause?Thanks,Prudhvi

This may have been asked already.  I have been working in the APIs for PWS with no issue.  Moving over to SRA, I cannot get the connection to work.  Tells me it is not allowed.  I have the account and API client/secret encoded.  I am using Powershell and tried it with/without the -Method POST option.  My code is $AuthKey = "Basic MyBase64Key"$AuthURI = "https://OURSITE.beyondtrustcloud.com/oauth2/token"$headers = @{ Authorization=$AuthKey}$Response = Invoke-RestMethod -URI $AuthURI -Header $headersWhat in the name of the sake of sanity am I missing?  Once I get this I know the rest falls into place. TIA

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 PRA's public IP address? Do I also need to log in to the backup PRA to change its role to primary, and conversely, log in to the original primary PRA (once recovered) to switch its role to backup? The guide mentions the following no

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 the audit history for that jump client instance ID)What

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 don't see this overview

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've learned that you can add tag
