Is there a method to setting up the Support Buttons (or now call “standby Jump Clients”) to not prompt the user for any input when launching and send the session to a queue?I’ve got as far as only one question asked before sending to the queue, but it’s one I can't figure out how to disable… Annoying MessageIf we can’t disable it, our thought is to keep it but allow access without end-user conformation.

Password Safe On-Prem (Active/Passive)Some users are based on a remote location with limited bandwidth. Due to this, their sessions keep disconnecting after 2-3 mins. The packet trace also confirms this.Is there any wayout for such users so their sessions don’t terminate in the case of packet loss?

BeyondTrust is always doing something out of ordinary esp. introducing misleading button “Check-in” request, many people in our shop don’t know the implication behind “Check-in” which is equivalent to almost cancel a request. About to start work with some cases in our shop that needs at least 2 senior managers to approve but when everything is approved, the checkin button is easily making confusion to general users as the button so close to bring up session. I have reflected many times to BeyondTrust who is slow in response at all or never take inn customer feedback seriously. With other issues, we are planning to KO this product soon and may use other alternatives. Really don’t use BeyondTrust in the long run, rather to select others like Cyberark rather.

as it never shows approvers/auditors  how come such a bad report that is totally unusable at all Already shared to BeyondTrust who is too slow to take in as bad things Another point to let us plan to KO this product again.

I need to execute MSEDGE in kioskmode but the INI configuration only works when I test in the Remote Server, when I try to open the published application the browner opens in regular mode.I'm testing using the same command lines configured in the application.What am I doing wrong?

Hello!We are using PRA - jump client based connections as well as BYOT RDP (more hops). We have frequently noticed drastic lag /slowness when remote sessions are used for HD/4K video manipulation, 3D modelling other GPU-accelerated use cases. In certain cases Solidworks models don’t even show up in PRA. Bandwidth and remote computer resources are not a concern  as these are purpose built workstations. Anyone else has faced similar issues ? any suggestions to improve performance 

We are using BeyondTrust Password Safe, and we would like to understand the clipboard permission behavior during Password Safe sessions.Currently, users are prompted to allow clipboard access every time they start a session. We would like to know:Is it possible to enable clipboard access by default for all Password Safe sessions? Can this setting be configured globally or through a policy/Jump Policy? Are there any security considerations or best practices for enabling clipboard access by default?

Hi Everyone. A client is asking details around capacity planning for session recordings in PRA. I tried to dig out BT documents around this but couldn’t find any appropriate information. If anyone could help me out with this info, that would be great. Thanks!Average/Peak recording bitrate per session Average and peak data generated by each recorded session (Mbps or MB/min). Daily storage growth Daily storage consumption for session recordings. Please provide the calculation (Average recording size × Number of recorded sessions per day) or historical storage usage data over several days Capacity margin (preferably N-1)Please demonstrate that sufficient storage capacity is available even if one storage component fails (N-1 capacity).Confirmation that the 1 Gbps NIC is sufficientPlease confirm that the 1 Gbps network interface is adequate and will not become saturated under peak screen-sharing and session-recording workloads.  

Hello! I see that EPM Windows does not have option to remove local admin users . There is an idea created 4 years ago. Also, available reporting is limited i.e. who has admin access - I believe this report is based on user login. We are working on removing admin rights from users who had exception requests and finding it difficult to provide reliable evidence which is easy to generate from within a console - currently relying on multiple tools such as scripts for VPN, internal network computers, SCCM and PRA for computers not currently connected to internal network etc. I see we can trigger powershell scripts using EPM  based on certain events e.g. Creating rule to launch the script when certain known application like MS edge update is run.  Just want to check how others are handling such scenarios 

Our current On prem environment has many API use cases, where we use APIs to add assets, managed systems, onboard AD groups e.t.c. using python script from AWS Lambda. And we also have many application teams retrieving managed account passwords, secret safes using APIs from a dedicated server or applications. Now the issue is, in on prem environment, we usually whitelist private IPs, like IP if the servers or IP range that AWS account uses. However, in SaaS environment private IP is not working, as it is only taking public IP [Understandably expected behaviour from SaaS]. Is there any solution for this ? because public IPs is not static and we cannot keep on modifying the rules for 100s of API registrations. How are other BT customers dealing with this ?

Hi, currently I have trouble to onboard Microsoft SQL Management Studio 2022 application into ps_automate. I read almost all documentations and articles regarding to this issue but they had been created for Microsoft SQL Management Studio 2019. I have trouble to configure ini file,  because of AppWindowControlID field value is missing in AutoIt > Summary >  Advanced (Class).  

Hello! Does the EPM W Package Manager automatically update itself or we can control it . I see we can control the adapter and client version while using the Package Manager but don’t see a setting to control the version of PM .

Hello Everyone,We are trying to implement Propagation action for one of the managed accounts. The requirement here is that - “Whenever password for this account changes, it shall run a powershell script on corresponding managed system and update the password”.Since we are new to use of ‘propagation action’ functionality any document which can help to understand the usage will be useful.  Thanks,Prasad 

I have both my app registration (Microsoft EntraID) and IdP settings setup according to KB0019022; however, on the mac, whenever I try to authenticate via MFA from a message, I receive the error “The identity provider is unavailable” and it fails. The same app registration works fine for Windows. I have the Mac re-direct and verified the OIDC url is reachable. Anyone else run across this? 

Currently i have created a local account on all of our DMZ servers and they are administrators. This works So So is there a more streamlined way to accomplish this task.I want to manage the administrator as well as all local accounts in the Administrator Group.

Hi all,we're scoping a Password Safe and Privileged Remote Access deployment for a public-sector customer whose target virtualisation platform is Proxmox VE – so plain QEMU/KVM.The portal offers appliance images for Nutanix, Hyper-V, VMware and OpenShift, but nothing for KVM / libvirt. Since Nutanix AHV and OpenShift Virtualization both run on top of KVM, my assumption is that a suitable qcow2/raw build exists somewhere – it's just not published.So:1. Is there a KVM / libvirt appliance image (qcow2 or raw) for Password Safe or PRA that I've missed?2. Has anyone actually imported the Nutanix or OpenShift build into Proxmox? Any gotchas – boot mode, virtio, networking?3. Is Proxmox / KVM considered supported, or at least tolerated, from a support perspective? That's the part that matters most here.Disk format conversion is trivial, my concern is what's baked into the appliance and whether we'd end up outside a supported configuration.Any experience appreciated – thanks!

Hello Team,We are currently working on project to discover Amazon RDS hosted databases and managed accounts from those DB’s.I found out below nice article explaining step by step process. AWS RDS Oracle Database - Password Safe Discovery for Managed Accounts | CommunityHowever, the first step suggests using Resource Zone for resource broker configuration. (Seems to be only for Password Safe cloud).We are using On-Premises Password safe (Version 25.1). So based on this in above document, we would like to know from which step we need to follow the instructions.Thanks,Prasad

Hi Everyone!Is it possible to create a Jump Item in Privileged Remote Access (PRA) to access an IBM i (AS/400) system?The environment uses TN5250 over TLS (port 992), and I would like to know if PRA supports this type of connection natively or if an external TN5250 client needs to be integrated with PRA.If anyone has implemented this scenario or knows the limitations and best practices, I would appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance

Hello For PRA SaaS , we would need to allow from internal jumpoints to PRA SaaS on port 443 mainly right? and from PRA to AD on 636 ? For protocol tunnel, how is the network communication?  From enduser IP to PRA on port 443, communication will be established? and from there jumpoint will try to establish session on the protocol tunnel port mentioned to the services?

I have two assets hosting a database cluster:Server 1 hosts DB01 which load balances to 4 database servers Server 2 hosts DB02 which load balance to 4 database serversI ran a scan on both servers. The results showed that Server 1 discovered 0 databases, while Server 2 discovered DB02.How can I confirm whether this behavior is expected?Additionally, I have a few questions:How can I verify that there is already a link/relationship between the two cluster nodes without performing a failover test? From the database side, there is supposed to be a floating hostname that redirects connections to the active node. However, during discovery, we only detected the hostname of one of the databases instead of the floating hostname. Is this the expected behavior? How will password rotation be handled in this clustered setup? 

Hello,I’ve got a couple of questions from our customer that I couldn’t find answers in the documentation and I hope one of you could know the answers.They want to buy EPM-L with Pathfinder and asked how long BT keeps logs and how much can be stored in the BT cloud. They also wanted to know when/if EPM will be hosted in Europe rather than US. Finally there is an issue of automation of endpoint installation. Is there a ready-to-use method of adding multiple endpoints to EPM?I’ll be grateful if you could help me clarify this issues.

 We are experiencing an issue where the Support Desk (Challenge/Response) prompt disappears within 1–3 seconds, preventing users from entering a response code and elevating applications.EnvironmentEPM-M Version: 26.1.0.120 OS: macOS Tahoe 26.4 Users sometimes receive a "Deadline Reached" notificationWe reviewed KB0020349, but the issue is documented as fixed in 23.7.1+, and our clients are already on 26.1.0.120.A comparison between working and affected devices showed no significant differences other than hardware (M2 vs M3 Pro and different Mac models).BeyondTrust advised that newer macOS versions may limit the prompt display time to approximately 10–14 seconds and suggested Challenge/Response or JIT Application Requests as workarounds. However, in our case, the prompt disappears in only 1–3 seconds, which seems abnormal.  As soon as message gets disappeared, users get attached message :- BeeKeepers, please let me know :- Has anyone seen this behavior on EPM-M 26.1 ? Are there any know
