- Added Base DN field as an optional parameter.
Enhancements
PMUL install flags
Added logging for the PMUL install flags to see the install parameters passed to pbinstall.
Add notification to identify still-bcrypted user passwords
The notification informs the sysadmin / accountadmin that the users must update their password before they can login to a future BIUL release. Applies to users who have not updated passwords since release 22.3.
Copy and download entitlement reports
Can copy and download entitlement reports (to clipboard and as a text file).
Added Bulk edit mode for importing Secure User Groups
Allow user to switch from regular User Group members view to "Bulk Edit" mode
Update Notifications page to support notifications for undiscovered RNS server
Updated the following to show details of Undiscovered RNS Servers notifications:
- Notifications grid
- Notification panel in top right of UI
- Notification details side card
The grid and panel display a summary of the information in the notification.
The details side card displays a list of the hostnames. The user can use this information to manually discover the new hosts via Hosts > Inventory > Add Hosts.
Provide Profiling support for 'Defaults requiretty' setting in sudoers file
Notify user when profiling an RNS server identifies hosts unknown to BIUL
When profiling an RNS server, the profile includes all hosts that it knows about. A notification displays if any hosts are unknown or missing.
SIEM connections
SIEM connection can only be saved if the connection test has been successfully completed.
Logging
Logging redirects to stdout/stderr when removed from the pbsmc.toml file (logfile=/var/log/pbsmc/pbsmc.log).
Capturing, storing, and rotating logs relies on the OS method for managing logs.
- Linux: systemd journal
- UNIX: sysV init scripts
Issues resolved
| Description | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Show playback button only on PMUL Finish events in Unified Search Audit > Unified Search. | On the Unified Search Audit > Unified Search page for PMUL events, the playback button only displays when the Event Type if Finish. |
| When a user edits information on the RBP Role editor and attempts to navigate off that page, there is no prompt to save changes. | Prompt is now in place to save changes when leaving the role editing UI. |
| When setting up a directory service, the user account is created with an expired password. The user cannot successfully change the password when logging on for the first time. | The way the user and password are created is updated so the password is no longer expired. |
| In an ADBridge install, domain join was failing due to invalid syntax. Error: LW_ERROR_LDAP_INVALID_DN_SYNTAX [code 0x00009d80]. When setting an OU in the installer command, the --ou "path" quotes are escaped. The quotes must be included. | |
| When running an ADBridge install, an error occurs if a domainjoin is not part of the install procedure. The installation does not successfully complete. | Installs now finish correctly if domainjoin is not part of the install. |
| Save and Reset buttons states inconsistent across RBP Role editor tabs. | Save and Reset buttons default state is always active (available). |
| Update styling for info pairs. Values are below their corresponding heading. | Areas of the UI updated: Hosts > Inventory Licensing Settings > Certificates Settings > Certificates > Authorities Policy > Server RBP > Roles Audit > Events |
| Inconsistent behavior when selecting refresh icons throughout BIUL. | All refresh icons now consistent. After clicking the refresh icon, a loading spinner displays at the top of the page. |
