We are currently configuring and validating a BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (PRA) ATLAS cluster running version 26.2.3 the new installation, and we would appreciate your assistance in clarifying some questions regarding Traffic Node selection and connectivity.Environment OverviewOur environment consists of three ATLAS appliances: Primary: atlasprimary.xx.xx – 10.10.1.10 Traffic Node 1: atlasnode1.xx.xx – 10.10.2.10 Traffic Node 2: atlasnode2.xx.xx – 10.10.4.10 The public access hostname is acessoremoto.xx.xx, which resolves to the Primary appliance. The cluster is configured and synchronized, the hostnames are configured, and the wildcard SSL certificate for *.xx.xxhas been installed. The Traffic Node selection method is currently set to Random.Issues and Questions When accessing https://acessoremoto.xx.xx/console, the Web Access Console displays a “Connect to” selector with the Primary and both Traffic Nodes available. Is this the expected behavior in PRA 26.2.3? Is there a

Hello All, I was referring this KBA article -Knowledge Article - Customer Support (KB0016945)In this its explained about the column ‘Mapped to User’. Do we know how this mapping is established. Is it something in Smart rule which helps in setting this mapping. Thanks,Prasad  

Hi all,We have deployed a BeyondTrust PRA Cloud instance through Pathfinder in one of our customers.Due to several users with personal accounts (e.g. Gmail), we are restricted in sharing with them the Microsoft My Apps link (with the Tenant ID) in order for them to click the BeyondTrust application.That’s ok; however, we observe that there is a minimum of three clicks for a user to reach the /console page (one on the Enterprise Application, one on the PRA application on Pathfinder, and then the Launch Privileged Web Access Console).I have selected the option to Redirect to the Privileged Web Access Console under Management > Site Configuration > HTTP, but I think this is for direct connections to the instance.No big deal, but just trying to figure out if there is a way to minimize the number of clicks for such a use case.Thanks all.

Is anyone aware if the API can be used to approve or deny JIT Application requests. It looks like the API is able to handle this for JIT Admin. If no, has there been any word on when this could be coming. I’m in the process of building a mobile app for the JIT App approvals and the front end is done, but the pesky API backend is not cooperating.

Hi all,Environment:BeyondInsight / Password Safe on-premises, U-Series Appliance, version[26.3.x – confirm build] Deployment:[ Active-Passive HA ] Managed servers: Windows and Linux, spread across multiple VLANs RDP/SSH sessions go through the Password Safe session proxy, with recording and Change Password After Release enabledOur challenge: Admins can still bypass Password Safe and connect to servers directly with mstsc.exe or PuTTY. Those sessions aren't requested, approved or recorded. Our current setup:GPO adds regular accounts to local Administrators. Restricted Groups / GPP add domain groups containing admins' regular (non-privileged) accounts to the local Administrators group on servers. Servers are spread across multiple VLANs. Admin workstation VLANs can route to server VLANs, and inter-VLAN rules allow TCP 3389/22. Default RDP logon rights. Any member of local Administrators can log on through Remote Desktop.Questions:Does BeyondTrust have an official recommendation or harden

I am facing an issue while launching PS_Automate through CMD.Initially, there was no issue when I tested it with the default BIWebApp.ini file. However, after making a copy of the same file and renaming it to WAF.ini, I started receiving the following error when trying to launch PS_Automate:Error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable.My BeyondInsight/Password Safe version is 26.2.Could anyone please guide me on what might be causing this issue and how I can troubleshoot or resolve it? 

Is it possible to deploy jumpoint across 2 sites - from jumpoints in PROD/DR the target systems are accessible, is that enough or should it be same VLAN as well?

The release notes for 26.3 mention that JIT Admin notifications have been added so users know right away that they have been approved/denied without needing to constantly check the endpoint utility app. It explicitly says JIT Admin. Does anyone know offhand if those notifications have been added for JIT Application approvals? 

Hi. We have a default Group Policy for all support teams that gives access to all jump clients. The policy applies to all members of our tenant, using the tenant ID. Is there a way to exclude specific agents so that the policy does not apply to them? I want to set up a separate Group Policy only for one agent to have access to only a very limited number of jump clients, but I can’t if they are already a member of the default group because they are a tenant member.

Has anybody here ever implemented Qualys scanning against their PS on-premises appliances? Is it possible to create a local account for Qualys on our on-prem appliances for Qualys scanning or is this not allowed?

Hello,I have a CloudShare Based Windows Server 2022 VM with EPM Client, Adapter and Package Manager installed. It is visible in Pathfinder as connected, up to date, with the right policy assigned. When I update policy at the endpoint it says the latest available version is present. I am using default Workstyles (High, Medium and Low Flexibility) and created one user (at the endpoint) for each Workstyle. I defined filters with the specific user names and SID’s in each workstyle. However, the policy seems to have no effect.I compared behaviour of High and Low Flexibility account. I tried installing basic software (e.g. 7-zip) - both are getting error: Access is denied. I tried running regedit - both run it, but have access denied to the same entries. I tried creating a new folder in Program Files, and got Access Denied. The Analytics tab in Pathfinder shows no activity at all. In short - everything acts if EPM was not there at all, although all connectivity seems to be fine.I suspect I m

Hello Beekeepers community!!!We currently add Active Directory (AD) users to local BT Group security groups for access management. However, we have identified a concern regarding user lifecycle management and audit compliance.At present, when a user account is disabled or becomes inactive in Active Directory, the user is not automatically removed from the local group(s) to which access was previously granted. As a result, the group membership does not accurately reflect the list of active users.For example:Local group: BT-PAM-ACCESS Total members displayed: 10 users Actual active users: 8 users Disabled users in AD: 2 usersEven though the 2 users are disabled in Active Directory, they continue to appear as members of the local group. During audits, we provide screenshots of the local group membership as evidence of access reviews. This results in audit evidence showing all 10 users, which can be misleading because it includes accounts that are no longer active.Concern: The current proc

Is there any way to change IP address of already onboarded assets to Beyondtrust password safe? everytime we have to delete the older asset and then re-onboard the asset.

In BeyondTrust Password Safe, Cloud  why are some manually added assets unable to change the assigned workgroup? The option appears unavailable & disabled.  

Hi all,Just want to check, does anyone have the official slide deck for the BeyondTrust Password Safe solution from BeyondTrust?Thanks.

I have created a daily backup for my PS using Windows File shares and was pointed to one of my Windows File Share using a domain service account. This one works fine. My only concern is that we keep receiving alerts about NTLM login failure/SMB session failure for the service account since it was running from the U-series appliance (non-domain joined) and connecting to the windows file share in the domain using the domain service account. Even though the daily alerts keep popping up with those failures, we still have the completed backups. I was wondering if you guys have any better option with this backup and minimize these kinds of alerts?

Hi Team,We are planning to implement a BeyondTrust Password Safe Cold Spare DR appliance in AWS West while our production environment is running in AWS East.Could anyone share the implementation steps, prerequisites, and best practices for setting up a Cold Spare appliance?Specifically looking for guidance on:Prerequisites before enabling Cold Spare Hostname/DNS requirements SSL certificate requirements Backup and restore process Validation/testing after setup DR activation procedure during a regional outage Failback process once the production region is restored Any lessons learned or common issues to avoidAny documentation, implementation guides, or real-world experiences would be greatly appreciated.Our production environment consists of an HA pair in AWS US East (10.209.66.xxx/ 10.209.66.xxx) and a Cold Spare appliance in AWS US West (10.207.12.xxx).

We need to onboard Linux systems that use a graphical interface, such as GNOME. What options do I have to do this so that I can also record sessions, just like with RDP? It must also be supported by BT.Regards Arno 

Hello All!We recently upgraded PRA from 24.3.4 → 25.2.2 → 25.3.5 . After the upgrade 100+ Ubuntu 24.04 headless devices are no longer accessible. We have used the standard linux installer in these machines and were able to do screen share using PRA over the years. Remote users need to be able to see the login screen as there are different user profiles (IT, engineer etc)Has anyone seen similar issues after upgrades? Support team is basically asking us to use headless installer  which is of not any help. When we use headless installer it doesn’t even show Screen Share tab in PRA console.For our existing standard client which is now broken, in the logs I see PRA creating a new virtual display and is switching between the GDM x0 and PRA-created virtual display. Any suggestions ? 

I really bought into “If you can do it in powershell, you can run it in a powerrule” but I’m learning it’s really not that easy. What I want to do: If someone runs the “Hyper-V Manager” console, it automatically will add that user to the hyper-v administrators local group in Windows.I have a script that adds the user to the group, uploaded it, and targeted it with an app group to run, but it doesn’t do anything. I started looking into power rules more (EPM for Windows core scripting | EPM-WM) but quickly realized, it seems like there are special cmdlets you have to use? It’s very confusing.If anyone can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreaciate it.

We have multiple Password Safe appliances behind load balancer. Appliances are not directly accessible, users must use load balancer.When user receives a forgot password email, it contains a password reset link with appliance hostname instead of load balancer address. Please advise what configuration change is needed, for password reset email to have an URL with load balancer address instead of appliance local hostname.
