U-Series Appliance 4.5.0 release notes
January 22, 2026
🆕 New features
Streamlined Certificate Management
Manage certificates with ease. Now you can view, import, edit, generate, export, move, and delete certificates directly from the Appliance web interface. No need for remote desktop or Microsoft Management Console (MMC). This enhanced workflow simplifies updates, supports all requested use cases, and even adds the ability to transfer certificates between appliances.
For more information, see Certificate Management.
Forced Encryption
Appliance users can now encrypt the data connection to Microsoft SQL Server using a certificate of their choice without the need to establish a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session. This enhancement eliminates the previous requirement to manually upload certificates and configure encryption through the BeyondInsight Configuration Tool or SQL Server Network Configuration.
For more information, see Forced Encryption for SQL Server connections.
✨ Enhancements
Proxy server
Proxy configuration settings have been removed from Password Safe. All proxy server settings are now managed directly on the U-Series appliance, providing a centralized and streamlined configuration process.
Certificate management for mirroring between the two high availability (HA) nodes
We’ve introduced enhancements to simplify certificate management. These improvements reduce manual configuration steps, minimize administrative overhead, and improve overall security compliance. Administrators can now manage certificates more efficiently, ensuring a smoother setup and maintenance process for HA deployments.
For more information, see Certificate mirroring between two HA nodes.
