ManageEngine Password Manager Pro - Release Notes

Password Manager Pro Release 9.8 (9803) (14^th December 2018)

Bug Fixes

• Earlier, while configuring remote password reset and auto logon actions for Windows, Windows Domain, and Linux resources, administrators could view the accounts of resources that they had no access to. However, only the account names were visible in this case and there was no password exposure involved. This was applicable for bulk configurations as well. This has been fixed.
• From v9700, the PDF file for user activity, user access and password inventory reports that were scheduled had file corruption error when delivered as an email attachment. This has been fixed.
• From v9700, during service startup, a server-side action resulted in Password Manage Pro’s system properties getting printed in the log files. The keystore password of the certificate that was used for HTTPS connections from the web server was also printed in plain text in the captured logs. This has been fixed.

Security Fix

• From v9700, for customers who had enabled the SSL certificate management add-on and invoked the certificate discovery from the GUI, it resulted in the credentials used for discovery getting printed in the logs. This has been fixed.

Note:
The potential for exposure was limited only to customers matching specific conditions and a detailed advisory was sent to customers to check for those conditions and in the unlikely case of the exposure happening, the advisory included instructions to sanitise the exposure and fix the conditions.

Password Manager Pro Release 9.8 (9802) (4^th December 2018)

This release strengthens SSL certificate management in Password Manager Pro by introducing GoDaddy integration and certificate sharing. Other enhancements include support for Traditional Chinese in multi-language editions as well as the provision to auto logon to Cisco resources using Windows domain accounts.

New Features & Enhancements

• GoDaddy integration for SSL certificate lifecycle management: Password Manager Pro now supports management of SSL certificates issued by GoDaddy certificate authority. This enhancement, powered through a seamless integration with GoDaddy's API, allows administrators request, consolidate, deploy, renew, revoke and manage life cycles of certificates issued by GoDaddy certificate authority from a single interface.
• SSL certificate sharing among users: Password Manager Pro now allows sharing of SSL certificates or certificate groups with users and user groups. This will enable administrators to share required SSL certificates with technicians and allow them to track the validity and expiration dates for their server certificates. The feature further allows the technicians to also raise a request with the administrator to provision access to the private key of the shared certificate whenever required.
• Localization Support for Traditional Chinese: Introducing localization support for Traditional Chinese in Password Manager Pro's multi-language editions, besides Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Turkish, and Polish languages.
• RESTful API:
  • New REST API to add dynamic resource groups.
  • REST API to create resources enhanced with the option to enable key-based authentication for Linux resources.
• From v9802 onwards, Password Manager Pro's auto logon feature will list the Windows domain accounts that the user has access to, besides the local user accounts in Cisco resources. If the Cisco resource is already set up to accept Windows domain account credentials for authentication, users can launch SSH sessions to that resource using the domain accounts as well.
• From v9802 onwards, XLS exports of password inventory reports (both canned and custom) will include a new column that displays resource owner information.
• A new option has been added under Admin >> General Settings >> User Management to restrict users from adding privileged accounts to Password Manager Pro via browser extensions.
• Earlier, when two-factor authentication (TFA) was enabled, the login screen of Password Manager Pro's mobile applications and browser extensions asked for the username first and the primary password and TFA credential were then requested together in a fresh second screen. Henceforth, the user has to input the username and password (first-factor) in the login screen and then the TFA credentials in a new screen upon successful primary authentication.

Bug fixes

• From v8604, when an administrator edited resources in bulk from the Resources or Groups tab and saved the changes, the action also reset the password reset configurations to default for the selected resources. This has been fixed.
• From v9702, while copy-pasting values stored as custom text fields (non-password) in the Personal tab, special characters were converted to their hexadecimal values during the action due to decoding issues. This has been fixed.
• From v9600, API user accounts with 'Full Access' permission over a resource were unable to add a new account under that resource using 'Create Resource' REST API. This has been fixed.
• [IE browser only] From v9400, users were unable to view an account's password in clear text from that account's 'Passcard' link as well as in the 'Account Details' window. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, the symbol 'exclamation mark' ( ! ) was not included in the set of special characters available for password policies. Due to this, associating resources/accounts with a password policy that enforced the usage of only the symbol 'exclamation mark' ( ! ) under special characters resulted in passwords being set as 'unknown' during auto-generation. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, if the Password Manager Pro administrator had disabled the local authentication option for all users, users could still bypass the restriction provided that they used a valid local account username and password. This has been fixed.

Password Manager Pro Release 9.8 (9801) (2^nd November 2018)

Bug fixes

• From v9700, Password Manager Pro moved to Apache Tomcat v8.5.27 and with this, the Tomcat server was expecting the URLs to be encoded in all the incoming requests. The Password Manager Pro agent was still sending plain URLs and in cases where the URLs had special characters like backslash ('\'), this resulted in the requests being dropped abruptly, causing the agent to keep trying endlessly. In scenarios where there were thousands of agents, this even resulted in a DOS attack on the Password Manager Pro server, causing busy CPU. This issue is now fixed by encoding the URLs used by the agent in all its requests.
• From v9700, when the Password Manager Pro server starts and is not able to access the encryption key, it resulted in the passwords of the built-in 'admin' and 'guest' accounts being reset to their default values. This condition existed only for installations running with PostgreSQL as the back-end database and is now fixed. It is always recommended to remove both these built-in accounts in production installations of Password Manager Pro.

Password Manager Pro Release 9.8 (9800) (10^th September 2018)

This release brings forth integration support for HSM data encryption and YubiKey two-factor authentication as well as the provision to extend remote password capabilities beyond supported platforms via custom plugins.

New Features & Enhancements

• Data encryption and protection with SafeNet HSM

  Password Manager Pro (PMP) now provides out-of-the-box support for SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM which gives administrators the option to enable hardware-based data encryption for the application. This update helps administrators ensure increased data security levels by leveraging the integration to securely store PMP's encryption key in the SafeNet HSM appliance available in their environment.

• Password Reset Plugin: Provision to add custom plugins to remotely reset passwords for unsupported resource types

  Password Manager Pro (PMP) now allows manual addition of custom reset plugins (created in the form of an implementation class) that can be invoked from PMP server to carry out remote password resets for platforms that are not supported out-of-the-box, such as legacy resource types, in-house applications, etc. Administrators can leverage this update to also configure access control for unsupported resources and enforce automatic reset of their passwords instantly upon usage.

• Integration support for YubiKey two-factor authentication

  From v9800 onwards, Password Manager Pro readily integrates with YubiKey a physical key made by Yubico, which ensures secure and strong user authentication, to provide two-factor authentication support for application login.

• Root-based certificate signing

  Password Manager Pro now enables administrators to sign and issue SSL certificates to end-servers within the network environment, based on a root certificate that is trusted within the network.

• Website domain expiry notification:

  Administrators can now track upcoming public domain expirations in Password Manager Pro, facilitated via 'Whois Lookup'. They can also opt to receive periodic email notifications regarding the same.

• New RESTful APIS

  • To delete users with their usernames
  • To add users to user groups
  • To lock/unlock users
  • To import SSH keys
  • To associate/dissociate SSH keys
• The REST API to create a new resource now additionally supports inclusion of "Domain Name" for the resource being created. Also, the REST API to get a user's ID now supports special characters in the passed username.
• Henceforth, REST API calls to PMP server will have a threshold policy. When any specific API call reaches the threshold number of 150 calls within a span of one minute, that API will be locked for a minute.
• Users imported from Active Directory (AD) to Password Manager Pro will hereafter be provided the option to launch an RDP connection to Windows resources using their AD credentials even during cases when other authentication methods (such as SAML SSO, local authentication) are used by the user in addition to AD authentication.
• Password Manager Pro now expedites domain validation for Let's Encrypt certificate renewal through automated verification of DNS-01 challenges (for Azure and Cloudflare DNS).
• Password Manager Pro now includes provisions to import certificate files to keystore by automatically pinning its corresponding private key with the acquired certificate.
• Audit logs for bulk password resets triggered at resource group level and modification of dynamic resource groups have been revised to include more information. The bulk password reset log now also captures the name of the resource group for which the reset action has been triggered, either on-demand or scheduled. The second log now thoroughly captures the criteria value changes carried out for the selected dynamic resource group.
• The "Transfer Ownership" option under the Users tab now lists the available PMP users in an alphabetical order to help expedite the operation.

Bug Fixes

• From v9600 till v9702, both on-demand and scheduled remote password resets for Oracle resources failed due to server-side issues. This has been fixed.
• From v9700 till v9701, when the MSP administrator imported an organization from a CSV file that also included information for Account Manager, the detail was not added to PMP during the import. As a result, operations like manage organization, edit, and delete organizations could not be performed for the imported organization. This has been fixed.
• From v9500 till v9702, if the user conducted a custom search in the Resource Audit section, cleared the results, and then tried to carry out a PDF export of all the audit logs in that section, the action did not work and instead a new tab with a blank white screen opened. This has been fixed.
• From v9600 till v9702, the search options in both User and Resource trash did not work. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, if a user had checked out the password of an access controlled resource for a specified duration and the PMP server is restarted within that duration, the condition was automatically revoked and the user was able to continue using the password beyond the given time. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, when an administrator created a new API user and saved the details in Password Manager Pro, the saved host name was automatically changed to that user's IP address which led to connection issues during API calls. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, Linux resources added to PMP via REST API were not displayed in the list of available resources for "Public Key Association" in the SSH Keys tab. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, while trying to fetch the IDs of a resource and its account via REST API by providing the resource and account names, resource names containing special characters were not allowed. This has been fixed.

Security Fix

• Earlier, a Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerability in Password Manager Pro's landing server configuration tab allowed the administrator to upload any file to any location in PMP server via the image file upload field. This has now been restricted to only image files, which can be saved only in the predestined location.

Password Manager Pro Release 9.7 (9702) (27^th July 2018)

Bug Fixes

• From v9500 till v9701, while trying to export to PDF only the results obtained from a custom search in the Recorded Connections audit, the action did not work and instead all audit records in that section were exported. This has been fixed.
• In v9700 and v9701, while performing password reset for selected resource group(s), the "Generate Password" option did not work when the user tried to specify a password to be used for all accounts. This has been fixed.
• [IE browser only] From v9400 till v9701, the option to enable/disable a schedule under Admin >> Scheduled Tasks >> Schedule Actions did not work if the global language choice for Password Manager Pro was not English. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, periodic password export could not be scheduled for a resource group when the username of the logged in user contained one or more special characters. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, the "Forgot Password" option available in the Password Manager Pro login screen did not work for users accessing the site via Firefox and IE browsers. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, when an auto logon helper was edited and the approval request was sent to a chosen administrator, the corresponding notification email was not triggered to the administrator's inbox. This has been fixed.

Security Fix

• From v9702 onwards, Password Manager Pro master encryption key's cryptographic strength has been enhanced by increasing the randomness of the character strings used.

Password Manager Pro Release 9.7 (9701) (29^th June 2018)

Features & Enhancements

New system role with privacy administration privileges

From 9701 onwards, a new system role named "Privileged Administrators" will be available in Password Manager Pro. A privileged administrator will have the same capabilities as an administrator. Besides, they'll also have the privilege to configure privacy and security controls available under Privacy Settings, IP Restrictions, and Emergency Measures in the Admin tab.

Night mode theme for Password Manager Pro

Password Manager Pro now allows its users to switch to a night-friendly mode which changes the application's primary background color to black. The "Night Mode" option can be enabled by navigating to the user profile icon at the top right corner and selecting Personalize.

Major Bug Fixes

• In versions 9601 and 9700, SSH connections to remote systems (includes remote password reset operations) failed if Password Manager Pro was running on an Ubuntu server. This has been fixed.
• In v9700, if RSA SecurID and Duo Security were configured as the second authentication factor in Password Manager Pro, users were unable to log into the application due to authentication error. This has been fixed.
• In v9700, when the administrator changed the default "Server Port" under Admin >> Password Manager Pro (PMP) Server and saved the settings without providing a certificate, the PMP service did not run after server restart. This has been fixed.
• In v9700, if AD user import was configured via LDAP integration with synchronization enabled, the Password Manager Pro accounts of a specific set of users in that AD domain were accidentally locked by the application when the sync schedule was run. This has been fixed.
• In v9700, while trying to transfer ownership of resources from one user to another under the "Users" tab, the action was unresponsive if the username of the current owner contained the slash symbol ( / ). This has been fixed.

Minor Bug Fixes

• In v9700, when ownership of a resource group was transferred from one administrator to another, the subsequent notification email sent to configured recipients did not display the name of the new owner. This has been fixed.
• In v9700, while configuring notifications for a specific resource group, administrators were unable to select one or more user groups as notification recipients for the following password actions Password Expired, Password Policy Violated, Password Out Of Sync. This has been fixed.
• In v9700, users were unable to view a retrieved password if they had earlier included a percent sign ( % ) in the "Reason for Retrieval" field while raising an access request for that password. This has been fixed.
• From v9200 till v9700, when a user specified that they wanted to access the password "later" while raising an access request for a resource for which auto-approval of requests was configured, the corresponding email notification was not sent to the specified recipients. This has been fixed.
• From v9200 till v9700, if a user requested access to a resource more than once with different timeframes specified for each request's password checkout period, only the timeframe of the first logged request was recognized for that user. As a result, all subsequent access requests raised by the user for the same resource were approved only with the already logged timeframe for password checkout. This has been fixed.

Password Manager Pro Release 9.7 (9700) (29^th May 2018)

This release introduces strong controls in Password Manager Pro for protecting personal data stored and processed in the product, in compliance with privacy regulations.

New Features & Enhancements

Additional protection in web GUI while displaying personal data

Form fields that contain personal data such as Username, DNS Name, Email ID, Server Name and more will henceforth be masked at all times to enhance protection. Additionally, when a specific user unmasks and views any of the masked data fields, the action captured in the audit trails with a timestamp and the IP address of the machine from which the user viewed the data.

Canned report to demonstrate GDPR compliance stature

Password Manager Pro now comes with a canned report that tells you the stature of your compliance with specific requirements listed in Chapter 3 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in terms of how users' personal data is handled within the product. This report, apart from providing a holistic view of how personal data is handled, will also prove useful while preparing for privacy audits.

Provision to authorize selective administrators with privacy administration privileges

From v9700 onwards, a new "Authorized Administrators" option will appear under Admin >> Settings. This option can be used to authorize only the desired administrators with the privilege to view, access, and modify the following Password Manager Pro settings:

• Privacy Settings
• IP Restrictions
• Emergency Measures

Note:
When you upgrade to v9700 from earlier versions, users with the following roles will be automatically assigned as authorized administrators:

• Default "Administrator" role
• Custom role with permission to access and modify "PMP Server Settings" under PMP Settings category.

Password protected exports

Administrators can now include an additional layer of password protection for export operations across Password Manager Pro. This applies to,

• Resource and resource group exports (XLS file)
• Audit exports (PDF and CSV files)
• Report exports (XLS and PDF files)

The authorized administrator can either set a global passphrase which will be uniformly used for the aforementioned export operations or allow the users to define their own passphrase for their exported files.

Mandating administrator acknowledgement of data transfer while setting up integration with third party applications

Henceforth, when the Password Manager Pro administrator sets up integration with the services mentioned below, the administrator will be required to acknowledge the data transfer from Password Manager Pro server for each respective integration.

• Cloud Storage - Dropbox, Box, and Amazon S3
• Two-factor Authentication - PhoneFactor, RSA SecurID, RADIUS Authenticator, and Duo Security.

Support for Encryption at Rest (EAR) while using MS SQL server as the backend database

For Password Manager Pro installations that function with a MS SQL server as the backend database, Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is supported henceforth to achieve EAR. TDE encrypts all the data and log files stored in the SQL server and the key used to encrypt the database is also secured further with a certificate to enhance protection.

Backup file encryption

Database backup (.zip) files in Password Manager Pro-both on-demand and scheduled, will hereafter be encrypted with the Password Manager Pro master encryption key and stored in the destination directory securely. In case of Password Manager Pro installation running a remote MS SQL server database, the backup file will be encrypted only if the specified backup destination is within the server in which Password Manager Pro is installed and not the remote machine.

Privacy controls for canned reports

Password Manager Pro now allows authorized administrators to configure privacy settings for canned reports. Administrators can choose from an exhaustive list of personal data, deciding whether each input in the list should be completely omitted from the reports or included as masked information.

IP restrictions

IP-based restrictions are now supported to limit inbound connections and minimize unwanted traffic to Password Manager Pro server. Restrictions can be configured for web access, API calls, communication from native mobile applications, browser extensions, and Password Manager Pro agents deployed on target machines. The IP restrictions can be set at various levels and combinations, such as defined IP ranges or individual IP addresses. The authorized administrator can either whitelist or blacklist the set of desired IP addresses.

Trash can for delete operations

Users and resources in Password Manager Pro can now also be moved to trash alternatively instead of permanent deletion, along with the option to restore from trash when needed. The trashed users and resources will be retained by Password Manager Pro only until the next rotation schedule is carried out for the master encryption key.

Purging selective session recordings

Earlier, session recordings and chat logs could only be purged in bulk by configuring to delete recordings that are older than a specified number of days. From v9700 onwards, session recordings can also be individually selected under Audit >> Recorded Sessions and purged. Additionally, chat logs for a specific session recording can also be deleted while retaining the recording itself and vice versa.

Managing unidentified email addresses in Password Manager Pro

A new provision has been added to enable administrators to track and remove unidentified email addresses in Password Manager Pro which do not belong to any of the users in the application. This provision currently allows management of unidentified email addresses which are captured in "User Sessions" audit as well as those that are configured as notification email recipients for scheduled tasks' completion statuses and license expiry alerts.

Emergency Measures

In the rare scenario that a suspicious activity is sensed within Password Manager Pro but has not yet been identified, a set of recommended best practices that can be carried out have been added under Admin >> Manage >> Emergency Measures. The illustrative list of incident response actions give the administrator a head start on stopping all inward and outward communication to and from Password Manager Pro server respectively, such as stopping API calls, blocking agent communication, and stopping the SSHD server.

• Under rebranding, Password Manager Pro now provides an additional option to configure and display a customizable privacy policy banner in the login page.
• Earlier, the "Total Passwords" count displayed in the dashboard did not include resources of the type File Store, Key Store, and License Store. From v9700 onwards, the count will include the aforementioned resources as well.
• While setting up user import from LDAP directories, Password Manager Pro administrators now have the choice to also define the corresponding attribute labels for department and location as used in the LDAP directories.
• A new option has been added to Password Manager Pro MSP version under Admin >> General Settings >> User Management, which can be used to display the organization names of the client orgs in the organization drop down list (at the top right corner) instead of the orgs' display names.
• The option to delete client organizations has been added to Password Manager Pro MSP version. When a client organization is deleted, all the resources and users added under it will also be deleted.

Bug Fixes

• In v9600 and v9601, due to an issue in Windows resource discovery, when the administrator tried to import OU A, OU B was wrongly imported. This has been fixed.
• From v9000 till v9601, the password expiry date for accounts in the Passwords section was wrongly displayed in the quick info beside each account. For instance, if the expiry date for account's password was May 25, it was shown as June 25 even though it did not affect the password from expiring on May 25. This has been fixed.
• From v9000 till v9601, the owner of a criteria resource group was sometimes unable to view the password of an account associated with a member resource in that resource group. This happened when the specific resource is owned by another user who's a member of a user group with which the criteria resource group has been shared and the former owner is not a member of that user group. This has been fixed.
• From v8700 till v9601, if the administrator had disabled the default roles, Password Administrator and Password User using Role Filter in their instance, the disabled roles were automatically enabled when their Password Manager Pro server was restarted.
• Earlier, user import from Active Directory groups did not work if Password Manager Pro secondary server was up instead of primary server. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, when an additional password field was added and used as an account attribute, the option to copy the password to clipboard for that additional field was not available in the resource and account details windows as well as in the Passcard screen. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, "Change Password" option was shown in the My Profile drop down menu for AD, Azure AD, and LDAP users even though it was not applicable to them. The option has now been removed.

Security Fix

• Earlier, PostgreSQL database password as well as the keystore password for HTTPS connections from the web server were stored in the configuration files as plain text. They have now been encrypted with AES-256 algorithm for enhanced security.

Password Manager Pro release (9601) (08^th May 2018)

Bug Fixes

• Earlier, while creating a custom password policy, even if the administrator had set 'No' for the requirement 'Enforce Numerals', numerals were still used in the newly generated passwords for resources. This has been fixed.
• In v9600, the Password Manager Pro web server did not start for users who were connected over HTTP and had to be redirected to a HTTPS connection. This has been fixed.
  Note:
  All data transmission between the Password Manager Pro user interface and the server are configured to take place through HTTPS. Thus, as a security best practice, Password Manager Pro recommends and supports only HTTPS connections by default.

Security Fix

• SparkGateway, which comes bundled with Password Manager Pro to enable RDP connections to target systems, has been upgraded from v5.0 to v5.6 to support CredSSP protocol v6. This latest version released by Microsoft contains security updates to address a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2018-0886) that existed in the protocol.

Password Manager Pro release (9600) (04^th April 2018)

New Features & Enhancements

SQL and SSH Remote Terminal Sessions with Windows Domain accounts

• From v9600 onwards, users can launch SSH connections to Linux resources using Windows Domain accounts stored in Password Manager Pro's database. Remote password reset actions for Linux resources can also be configured by using a Windows Domain account for remote login to the Linux resources.
• Provision to remotely connect to a MS SQL server using a Windows Domain account has also been added.

Secure Cloud Storage Options for Anytime, Anywhere Access to Passwords

• Provision to export and automatically synchronize the password-protected, encrypted HTML files to authorized users' Amazon S3 and Box accounts.
• Administrators can configure automatic deletion of the exported files in the users' Amazon S3 or Box accounts after a set time period and also trigger password resets for all the resources contained in the file.

Active Directory - Synchronization Enhancements

Version 9600 introduces a revamp to the 'Synchronization Schedules' screen under Active Directory (AD) configuration. The screen now includes a sidebar navigation tab that lists the AD domains that have synchronization schedules configured and also offers a separate view of synchronization schedules configured for users and resources respectively. The enhancements include:

• Provision to schedule separate synchronization intervals for import of users and resources respectively, for any given domain.
• Provision to schedule separate synchronization intervals for multiple groups in a domain, for import of users and resources.
• Provision to schedule separate synchronization intervals for multiple organizational units (OUs) in a domain, for import of users and resources.
• Provision to set a custom display name for groups/OUs imported from AD domains. The original AD names of the groups/OUs will also be retained.

Microsoft CA Certificate Signing

Password Manager Pro now allows users to get certificate requests signed from Microsoft Certificate Authority, thereby facilitating complete life cycle management for certificates issued by Microsoft Certificate Authority.

CMDB Integration for SSL Certificates Synchronization

Administrators can now sync SSL certificates stored in Password Manager Pro's repository with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus CMDB and map certificates to specific servers / applications in the CMDB. This allows them to monitor their usage and expiration from ServiceDesk Plus' CMDB.

SSL Certificate Groups

This enhancement allows users to organize SSL certificates into logical groups based on various criteria and execute actions in bulk for the groups.

Localization Support for Turkish

Introducing localization support for Turkish in Password Manager Pro's multi-language editions, in addition to Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, and Polish languages.

Disable Password Resets for Privileged Accounts

This enhancement to account creation and edit actions under Resources tab allows administrators to disable both local and remote password resets for all or a specific set of accounts associated with a resource.

• Administrators can now set a non-administrative role-either system-owned or custom made, as the default user role in their Password Manager Pro installation. The default role will also be assigned automatically to users imported from CSV files/AD/Azure AD/LDAP, unless manually specified otherwise by the administrator.
• Earlier, when the Password Manager Pro server (PMP) had a firewall or load balancing configuration, the PMP audit trails showed the IP address of the firewall/load balancer instead of the IP address of the user's machine. From v9600 onwards, PMP will log the IP address of the machine, from which it was accessed, in the audit trails instead of the firewall/load balancer IP address.
• For Password Manager Pro's MSP editions, the audit trails under Resource, User, and Task Audit tabs now also display the name of the respective MSP or client organization associated with the related operation.
• Date based discovery filter for Microsoft Certificate Authority certificate discovery introduced.
• Option to separately track and manage various versions of the same SSL certificate (with the same common name).
• Option to import and map a private key to certificate.

Bug Fixes

• From v9200 till v9502, when a resource had access controls enabled and multiple users later requested access to that resource with different timeframes for password checkout, the timeframe of the last logged request alone was recognized and every user could get access to that resource only during that timeframe. This has been fixed.
• From v9200 till v9502, when a resource has access controls enabled for a particular user group, the access controls did not apply to any new user(s) added to that user group later. Similarly, the access controls still applied to a user even after they had been removed from that user group. This has been fixed.
• From v9000 till v9502, when users who were either Password Users or Password Auditors launched an SSH or a SQL session, the option to initiate a chat with the administrator monitoring the session was not displayed in the session terminal window for the aforementioned users. This has been fixed.
• From v8700 till v9502, under custom roles, the permission to add resources to a resource group in Password Manager Pro was attached to the operation 'Add Resource Group'. This has been changed; the permission is now attached to the operation 'Edit Resource Group.'
• From v9000 till v9502, under any sections of the Audit tab such as Resource Audit, User Audit etc., when the user runs a filter or keyword search for a specific set of audit trails and later tries to export the obtained results alone, the exported PDF or CSV file instead contained all the audit trails. This has been fixed.
• From v9000 till v9502, if the users were enforced to provide a reason for password retrieval under General Settings, the users could submit a blank space in the reason field and still retrieve the password. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, remote password reset did not work for Oracle user accounts if the respective accounts' names began with a number or a special character. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, if a resource's DNS name contained more than a hundred characters, the corresponding Resource Actions icon did not work under the Resources tab. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, when users tried to manually change the password for an existing account of any resource, they were able to set a password that did not comply with the password policy defined for that resource if password visibility is set to 'Show' under 'Show/hide Password'. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, when generating certificate signing requests with SAN names, the SAN names were not updated. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, there were issues with fetching the system locale on Microsoft CA discovery. This has been fixed.

Security Fix

• Password Manager Pro's master encryption key generation process, which was identified as being weak and vulnerable due to relatively less entropy, has now been made stronger with the inclusion of a higher entropy rate. This addresses and fixes the said vulnerability-the ability to roughly identify the character pattern used to generate the master encryption key (provided that one has direct physical access to the server in which PMP is installed).

Password Manager Pro release (9502) (20^th February 2018)

Enhancements & Bug Fixes

• In v9500 and v9501, execution of password reset operations for Windows machines-via both agent-based and agent-less methods, occasionally resulted in an application server crash due to restrictions in filtering null values for 'Domain Name' fields. This has been fixed.
• In v9500 and v9501, user import from LDAP did not work for the following LDAP server types, except MS Active Directory-Novell eDirectory, OpenLDAP, and Others. This has been fixed.
• Henceforth, the following functions in Password Manager Pro can be carried out with PowerShell scripts instead of Task Scheduler service. The support to use PowerShell scripts has been provided as an alternative, in order to overcome the limitations of using Schtasks commands.
• Fetching of Scheduled Tasks for Windows and Windows Domain resources.
• Scheduled Tasks password resets for Windows and Windows Domain resources.

Password Manager Pro release (9501) (31^th January 2018)

Bug Fixes

• In v9500, users with administrator privileges encountered a blank white screen for a few minutes when they logged into Password Manager Pro, due to product banner loading issues. This has been fixed.
• In v9500, A remote password resets for Windows workgroup machines failed as a result of the recent replacement of VBScript scripts with .Net API calls. This has been fixed.

Password Manager Pro release (9500) (11^th January 2018)

Feature Enhancements

• User Sessions
  This enhancement allows administrators and auditors to view the list of user sessions for a specified time period. A user session includes all actions performed by a user, between a specific login and logout. The view also indicates currently active sessions with the option for administrators to forcefully terminate. This feature is an addition under the Audit tab and helps administrators with fine grained monitoring and control of user activity.
• Key Manager Plus Integration - Now available for all editions
  From v9500 onward, all Password Manager Pro editions (Standard, Premium, and Enterprise) support Key Manager Plus integration to help enterprises take complete control of their SSH and SSL environments in addition to passwords.
• Replication of Password Policies Across Client Organizations (MSP Edition)
  This latest enhancement to the replication feature allows MSP administrators to quickly replicate MSP organization's custom password policies across the client organizations.

Bug & Security Fixes

• From v8700 till v9402, during Windows resource import from Active Directory (AD) via discovery function, password administrators were unable to view and set up AD Synchronization in the Windows Discovery Tasks page, although they had the permission. This has been fixed.
• From v9000 till v9402, while moving accounts between resources, the search box provided within the destination drop down menu did not work. This has been fixed.

• The VBScript scripts used for the following functions in Password Manager Pro (PMP) have been made obsolete and replaced by equivalent .NET API calls made from within the PMP application. This is to ensure the passwords never leave the PMP application space, even to Windows Task Manager or Process Explorer.
  1. Local and service accounts enumeration during Windows discovery.
  2. Fetching of service accounts and scheduled tasks for Windows and Windows Domain resources.
  3. Password change and verification as well as associated service restarts for Windows resources.
  4. Service accounts and scheduled tasks password resets for Windows Domain resources.

Password Manager Pro Release 9.0 (9000) (28^th April 2017)

New Features, Enhancements, Changes & Fixes

• New User Interface
  
  From build 9000 onwards, Password Manager Pro will switch to a new user interface (UI) in order to improve user experience. The rich, modern look of the new UI embraces the flat design, and includes enhancements to the speed and usability of the application. Users will be able to navigate between tabs quicker than before and access data without multiple page reloads, thereby equipping admins to get their jobs done faster. This simple and responsive design is optimized across both mobile and web platforms to provide a wholesome experience to the user.
  
  
• Important Change in the Design of Criteria-based Dynamic Resource Groups
  
  From build 9000 onwards, for criteria-based dynamic resource groups, criteria will be applied only on the resources owned by the group owner and on the resources owned by the administrators who have manage permission to the group. Criteria will not be applied on the shared resources. This represents a significant change from the existing design. At present, criteria gets applied on all resources that are owned by the user who is creating the group and on the ones shared with "Manage" permission. Shared resources are being excluded in the new version. Once you move to the latest version, some resources that were part of a criteria-based dynamic group created by you would have been removed from the group due to this change.
  
  In the new design too, administrators who have access to a dynamic group with "Manage" permission (henceforth known as "Full Access" permission) shall be able to add the resources owned by them to that group. That means, the resources owned by them shall become part of the dynamic group upon satisfying the criteria.
  
  Note: This change was introduced in PMP 8.0 for those who installed the full version afresh. That means, for customers who have directly installed builds 8000 and above, this behavior remains the same. The above change will be felt only by customers who have been using Password Manager Pro before the 8000 build was released.


• MIB Update for SNMP Trap Settings
  
  This version includes an update to the MIB (MANAGEENGINE-PMP-MIB), which is integral to SNMP trap configuration in Password Manager Pro. As part of the update, the OIDs used to identify the VarBinds have been revised.
• In v7000 and above, while retrieving passwords, if the user was enforced to provide a reason as configured by the admin, the user was able to retrieve passwords from "Pass Cards" and "All My Passwords" UI by adding just a space in the reason field. This has been fixed.
• In v8600 and above, when Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication was configured and enabled for users, users from only one specific AAD tenant were able to log in to Password Manager Pro using their AAD credentials while users in other tenants faced login errors. This has been fixed now, by updating the value of the endpoint to which the sign-in requests are sent from Password Manager Pro.
• In v8700 and above, role summary report could not be generated for a role if the respective role name comprised Japanese characters. This has been fixed.
• In v8700 and above, admins using Password Manager Pro's Premium edition were unable to create API users even though XML-RPC API/SSH CLI access and related operations were allowed in the premium edition. This has been fixed.
• In v8700 and above, if an admin disables the "Personal" tab for users by unchecking the respective option under General Settings, the option itself disappeared from view the next time when the admin accessed General Settings. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, in MSP editions, client organizations that had been marked as favorite by respective users were not displayed at the top of the list as they should be. Instead, the client org that one user had most recently marked as their favorite was globally displayed at the top for all users. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, while importing users from AD/Azure AD, when the admin specifies the users to be imported as comma separated values, the action resulted in error if there was spacing after the commas. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, when users share their resource group with other users, the former faced resource group duplication issues in their UI dashboard whenever the latter added a new resource to that shared resource group. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, while adding an account under a resource, the account could not be saved if the user had earlier enabled a custom password field under "Account Additional Fields" and entered a password containing specific special characters including Greater Than/Less Than ( "<", ">" ) symbols in that field. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, during manual resource addition operation, the user was able to add two different accounts under the same name but different casing. However, while saving the added accounts, the second account's user-provided password was automatically replaced with the first account's password. This has been fixed.
• Customers who upgraded to 8700 from any of the older versions faced an issue with the "Personal" tab, i.e. if they had earlier disabled the Personal tab for users, the provision was automatically enabled for users after the upgrade. This has been fixed.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.7 (8704) (06^th April 2017)

Security Fix

Enhancements & Fixes

• In v8700, under custom roles feature, when a group of users were moved in bulk from their current roles to an administrator-type role using "Change Roles", the operation failed during certain circumstances owing to insufficient number of administrator licenses even though adequate licenses were in fact available. This has been fixed now.
• Earlier, when super administrators carried out edits to their own profile such as password policy or email ID changes, they lost their super administrator privilege automatically when they saved the edits; and they were reverted to their old role. This has been fixed now.
• In v8700, when an administrator viewed the list of users who were members of a user group, the database values of the users' "Role" column were displayed in the web UI table view. This has been fixed now.

Security Fixes

• Earlier, while importing resources from a CSV file, when "Overwriting of existing resources" is enabled by a user along with a configuration setting to overwrite a resource only when it is owned by that user resources owned by other users were overwritten in certain circumstances despite the owner check. This has been fixed now.
• A function level access control vulnerability resulted in unauthorized permission which allowed an user to lock their own Password Manager Pro account, This has been fixed now.
• A function level access control vulnerability resulted in unauthorized permission which allowed a user to change their current role to another administrator-type role. When a user was assigned a custom role with operational scope only to "Change user roles" and no other administrator privilege, that user could change their own role to another administrator-type role that contained higher operational scope. This has been fixed now.

To learn more custom roles, click here.
• In v8000 and above, while exporting password inventory report in .xls format for two or more resource groups, the report was generated for only one random group instead of all selected groups. This has been fixed.
• In v8603 and above, when a user selected a group of resources and attempted to bulk edit one/many of the resources' attributes, there was an issue while saving the edits. Specifically, the values present in the Notes field of all accounts associated to the selected resources were automatically overwritten with a blank value, even when no edits were carried out by the user to that effect. This has been fixed.
• In v6300 and above, while integrating Password Manager Pro with a PhoneFactor system for two-factor authentication, the option to 'Test Agent Connection' returned an error if the user had manually specified account credentials and agent service URL (this issue did not occur when the credentials had been stored in Password Manager Pro). This has been fixed.
• In v8500 and above, when a password user tries to export in plain-text the resources in a resource group shared with him/her, the exported spreadsheet (.xlsx) was blank. This has been fixed.

• Earlier, in the MSP edition, there was a configuration issue with the Replicate Settings option available under Organization actions. The issue caused the User Group Settings to replicate time and over in the client org, with respect to the number of times the user clicks on Replicate Settings. This in turn interfered with the workflow of various options under User Group Settings. This has been fixed.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.6 (8604) (23^rd January 2017)

Security Fixes

• In v8601 and above, users making use of LDAP authentication with two-factor authentication enabled, were able to access their Password Manager Pro account by supplying only the username for LDAP authentication and thereafter the valid second factor credentials. This was possible because when anonymous binding is enabled, LDAP server allows connection without credentials, if one knows the LDAP username. This issue has been fixed.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.6 (8603) (30^th December 2016)

Enhancements & Fixes

• Bulk edit option is now available for resources, which allows the administrator to select several resources and edit them in bulk at the same time.

• Earlier, if the option 'unique password generated through email' is configured for two-factor authentication in Password Manager Pro, the OTP generated and sent to a user's email id during a login attempt did not expire instantly upon one-time usage. The OTP could be reused multiple times for login from different systems as long as the primary login session remained active. This has been fixed now.
• In order to negate the possibility of DOS attacks, threshold limits have been introduced for HTTP operations (using POST method) from the web console. The threshold limits restrict the number of times that a particular HTTP operation can be carried out per minute from a user ID.

PMP Release 8.6 (8602) (14^th Dec 2016)

Bugs & Security Fixes

• In v8600 and above, when an administrator changed the web-server port number under
  Admin-->Server Settings, the action caused a service failure after a restart. This issue has been fixed.
• A function level access control vulnerability resulted in unauthorized permission to view other users' personal passwords stored under a specific category, when the option "Allow users to create their own passphrase" is disabled under General Settings. This has been fixed now.

PMP Release 8.6 (8601) (2^nd Dec 2016)

New Features

• Lock Password Manager Pro Users
  Option to temporarily prevent any user from accessing Password Manager Pro by locking down the respective account. The user accounts can be unlocked anytime, with all user settings intact including share permissions.
• New REST APIs
  • To edit resources.
  • To edit/delete accounts
• Support for Duo Security Two-factor Authentication
  Support for Duo Security two factor authentication for login to Password Manager Pro. Already, Password Manager Pro supports Google Authenticator, PhoneFactor, RSA SecurID, a one-time, randomly generated unique password, and any RADIUS-compliant two factor authentication mechanism as the second level of authentication for two factor authentication.

Enhancements

• Add Secondary Domain Controllers to a Windows Domain Resource
  While creating a Windows Domain resource, users can add the DNS Name / IP Address details of secondary (or multiple) domain controllers associated with the resource. Once added, they can also auto log on to all associated domain controllers using the same Windows Domain account.
• MSP Edition
  • Earlier, the "Import Organization from CSV file" feature did not provide the option to attribute an "Account Manager" for the organization during the import itself. As a result, once organization details were imported from the CSV file, the MSP admin had to separately assign an administrator in Password Manager Pro as the Account Manager. Henceforth, an Account Manager column containing the administrator "username" can be added in the CSV file itself and directly attributed to the new organization during import.
  • Earlier, when the administrator configured "Replicate settings across client orgs," the saved settings were applicable only for new client orgs and not for existing orgs. As a result, resource/user groups, share settings, and additional fields were not replicated in the existing orgs. Now, a new option has been introduced to sync the newly configured replication settings (except additional fields) across existing client orgs as well, either all or desired.
• While creating new users via RESTful API, they can now also be added to a new or existing user group.
• Earlier, while adding a new resource with Password Manager Pro via RESTful APIs, API users had default permission to specify another existing user as the resource owner. The API user could also edit a resource owned by other users. Now, an option has been introduced to disable API users from adding/editing resources under other user's ownership.
• Earlier, while adding a new Windows Domain resource, the "Configure password reset for associated service accounts and IIS AppPool accounts" section did not give further options for the user to enable/disable password resets separately for service accounts, scheduled tasks, and IIS AppPool accounts. Password resets could be configured either for all or none of them, regardless of whether services/IIS AppPools were run using the domain account. Now, new options have been introduced which allows the user to exclusively choose required password resets"among service accounts, scheduled tasks, and IIS AppPools as well as service restart options.
• Earlier, when password resets for Windows Scheduled Tasks were carried out, users faced version compatibility issues for Task Scheduler if the target Windows server edition was different from that of server in which Password Manager Pro was running. To solve such platform issues, the Scheduled Tasks password reset mechanism has been enhanced to also support Task Scheduler 2.0.
• Earlier, when two-factor authentication (TFA) was enabled, Password Manager Pro's login screen asked for the username first, and both primary password and TFA credential were requested together in a fresh second screen. Henceforth, the user has to input both username and password (first level of authentication) in the login screen. Only when the primary authentication succeeds, the user will prompted for the TFA credential in a new screen.

Bug Fixes

• In v8500 and above, while importing resources from Active Directory under "Resource Discovery" option, comma separated values entered in the "Resources to import" field were not imported properly. Only the first value was imported. This has been fixed now.
• In v8600, when a user group was restricted from storing their personal passwords in Password Manager Pro, the users of that group were unable to retrieve their enterprise passwords. This happened only when the global option to manage personal passwords was enabled under General Settings, but disabled for that specific user group. This has been fixed now.

Security Fixes

A function level access control vulnerability resulted in unauthorized permission to edit Password Manager Pro's pre-defined password policies (Strong/Medium/Low/Offline Password Fil). In addition, the vulnerability also allowed the deletion of the password policy that has been set as default. This has been fixed now.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.6 (8600) (11^th November 2016)

New Features & Enhancements

• Azure AD Integration
  Introducing out-of-the-box integration with Azure Active Directory (AD), which allows users to login to Password Manager Pro with their Azure AD credentials, in both Windows and Linux platforms. The integration also allows import of users and user groups from Azure AD to Password Manager Pro, and keeps data synchronized through Azure AD sync schedules.
  
  
• Query Reports
  This new addition to the Reports section now allows administrators to construct reports by writing their own SQL statements. The statements can be used to directly query the Password Manager Pro database and fetch required information to address unique reporting requirements.
  
  
• Store Recorded Sessions in an External Location
  Video recordings of RDP, SSH, Telnet, and SQL sessions will hereafter be stored in an external location, instead of Password Manager Pro database. Users can configure two external locations, one primary and another backup, where recorded sessions will be stored automatically once the operation is audited in Password Manager Pro, provided there is connectivity between the configured locations and Password Manager Pro server. For earlier recorded sessions stored in Password Manager Pro database, export options are given to move them to the configured external location.
  
  
• Purging of Recorded Sessions now available, as a separate operation
  Earlier, video recordings of RDP, SSH, Telnet, and SQL sessions could not be purged separately. The sessions could be purged only as a part of user audit purge. But, purging user audit records just to remove sessions also removed the operations details such as user account used to launch session, date and time, and more. Now, there are alternate options to configure purging of recorded sessions alone and retain the audit details of the operation.
  
  
• Earlier, when the SSL certificate for the server was changed, RDP sessions could not launched automatically and the user had to manually install the certificate again to initiate a session. Now, the issue is fixed and new certificates will be automatically verified when RDP sessions are launched.

Bug & Security Fixes

• Server JRE that comes bundled with Password Manager Pro is upgraded from v1.7.0_71 to v1.8.0_102 due to security vulnerabilities in the older version. PostgreSQL and Tomcat server have also been upgraded to the latest versions 9.5.3 and 8.0.20 respectively.
• Maverick Legacy libraries used for SSH CLI in Password Manager Pro have been upgraded to the latest versions.
• OpenSSL libraries used in Password Manager Pro have been upgraded from 0.9.8g to 1.0.2j, the latest version released with vulnerability fixes.
• Reflected and stored XSS vulnerabilities which resulted in unauthorized permission to carry out critical operations were found in Landing Server configuration, Rebranding, and Reports features. This has been fixed now.
• A vulnerability which resulted in unauthorized permission to delete Default Resource Types in Password Manager Pro has been fixed.
• A CSRF vulnerability, which resulted in unauthorized permission to change the default resource type set for any resource, has been fixed.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.5 (8505) (18^th October 2016)

Enhancements & Bug Fixes

• Option to trigger a bulk password reset in one click for all the resources that a specific user has access to, i.e. resources owned by or shared with that user. This allows the administrator to reset all passwords related to a specific user in case they leave the organization and then transfer those resources to another user.
• While evaluating Password Manager Pro with the 30-day trial edition, users can now switch instantly between the different product editions available (Standard / Premium / Enterprise) and test the desired edition.
• In Windows account discovery feature, an additional check has been introduced which allows the user to choose not to import any disabled computer account in the Active Directory during the discovery process. The user also has an option now to identify existing resources in Password Manager Pro that have been marked as disabled in AD and delete them.
• Resources and groups can now be imported directly from KeePass (1.x and 2.x) to Password Manager Pro.
• Earlier, when cross-domain authentication is used for Windows discovery tasks, local accounts and service accounts were not enumerated from the selected domain. This issue is fixed now.
• A new report named "Unshared Passwords" report has been added to the 'Canned Reports' section. The report lists all the passwords that have not been shared with any user in Password Manager Pro.

Bug & Security Fixes

• Earlier, password integrity checks failed for certain target systems in agent mode as Password Manager Pro server reported connection failure. This issue has been fixed now.
• Earlier, 'Rebranding' settings could not be edited when Password Manager Pro web-interface is connected using Internet Explorer. This issue is fixed now.
• In 'Personal Passwords' section, after a custom category is set as default, users could not add new accounts or delete existing accounts in that particular category. This issue is fixed now.
• In v8500 and above, new resource addition operations could not be completed successfully if the DNS Name / IP Address field contained the character "_" (Underscore). This issue is fixed now.
• Earlier, Windows account discovery tasks could not be completed if the admin password supplied to carry out the operation contained a double quote ("). This issue is fixed now.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.5 (8504) (19^th September 2016)

Enhancements & Bug Fixes

• Earlier, upgrade packs could be applied only to Password Manager Pro's primary installation, and high availability had to reconfigured every time after the upgrade. Henceforth, upgrade packs can be directly applied to the secondary installation as well, without any need to reconfigure high availability.
• In v8500 and above, when Password Manager Pro server was restarted, personal password management option was getting enabled even in cases where it had been disabled by the administrator. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, there were AD sync issues while importing users and resources from different domains. Resources/users from the wrong domain were imported for a few sync schedules when they were run again after the first import operation. This issue is fixed.
• Earlier, in the MSP edition, while providing a user group with 'Manage Organization' permission for different orgs, only 100 organizations could be allotted to that user group. This limit has been removed now.
• In v8500 and above, while adding a new account under a resource, the add operation could not be successfully completed if the 'Notes' field contained more than 230 characters. This issue is fixed.
• In v8500 and above, whenever a password is checked in by a user, the audit log for the check in operation did not properly display the resource name (if the name contained characters like ' a m p & ' ). This issue is fixed.
• Earlier, for any resource group, if the option 'Reset passwords upon expiry' was enabled, the option did not work for the resources within the group for which access control had been configured. This issue is fixed.
• In v8500 and above, while adding a Linux resource, the add operation could not be completed if 'Private Key' field was left blank. This issue is fixed.

Bug & Security Fixes

• Earlier, clear/copy to clipboard actions in the GUI were carried out with Flash support. For security purposes, Flash elements have been removed for these actions and support is now provided through JavaScript.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.5 (8503) (25^th August 2016)

Feature Enhancements & Bug Fixes

• Earlier, when a domain admin account was shared with users for RDP auto logon to related domain member machines, the users could use that domain account credentials to log in to the domain controller as well. Now, while sharing domain admin accounts with users for auto logon purposes, an optional check is given to prevent RDP connections to the domain controller resource.
• A new check has been introduced, while adding a Windows resource, to restrict users from using the local account of that resource to launch RDP connection, and instead use only the domain account to connect to the resource.
• Earlier, when the last remaining user in an organization unit (OU) was removed in AD, the same user did not get removed from the corresponding user group in Password Manager Pro. This issue is fixed.
• Earlier, in the "Show Passwords" table under "All My Passwords," the selected column sort order did not persist for non-admin users once they navigated to other tabs. This issue is fixed.
• In Password Manager Pro Japanese edition, audit log for the operation 'Discovery Task Deletion' was not captured properly in the audit records. This issue is fixed.
• Earlier, under Passcard option, when the provided link is opened to access the concerned account, the password could not be viewed properly if the Resource Name or Account Name shown in the GetPasscard page contained a "space." This issue is fixed.
• Earlier, for Add Resource operations, account addition step failed if the concerned account's password field contained specific characters (<>). This issue is fixed.
• Earlier, when users tried to reset Google Authenticator settings from the Password Manager Pro login page, the option did not work due to case-sensitive issues or if the username contained '\' (Backslash). This issue is fixed.
• In v8500, users were unable to add new resources under the pre-defined type 'PostgreSQL,' if they had earlier created and saved 'PostgreSQL' as a custom resource type. This issue is fixed.
• In v8303, while importing OUs from Active Directory, all the resources in the 'Default Group' in Password Manager Pro were automatically removed if the name of any of the OUs contained a comma (,). This issue is fixed.
• Earlier, in the UI screen, Admin-->Add Resource-->Add Accounts, when an account was added, password of the added account was partially revealed along with the account name in the display box beneath. This happened if the password contained both double quotes (") and greater-than sign (>), in that order. This issue is fixed.
• Earlier, under "Scheduled Password Reset," while setting Password to use, the option "Assign the same password to all user accounts, but change it during every schedule" did not work properly. Instead of a same password, unique passwords were set for each account. This issue is fixed.
• Earlier, while using RESTful API to add or modify a resource, the users could not use the characters, '<' and '>' in the account password. This limitation has been removed now.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.5 (8502) (27^th July 2016)

Feature Enhancements & Bug Fixes

• Earlier, option to open direct RDP connections to target resources using multiple domain accounts was available only under the Auto Logon tab. Now, the option is also available under 'Resources' and 'All My Passwords' tab.
• Customers (except MSP edition users) in v8500 faced issues in saving new changes in 'Export Passwords - Offline Access' settings. This has been fixed now.
• Customers in v8500 were not able to save changes in User Settings for any user groups, if their language setting is not English. This issue has been fixed now.
• In 'Advanced Search' option, the search results were incorrect if the search text contained '&'. This issue has been fixed now.
• Earlier, when users tried to reset Google Authenticator settings from the Password Manager Pro login page, the option did not work if the username contained '_' (Underscore). This issue has been fixed now.

Security Fixes

• Earlier, net use command was used by Password Manager Pro agent (Windows) for password reset and verify operations. If 'Audit Process Creation' is enabled under 'Advanced Security Audit Policy Settings' for the Windows target machines, the reset and verify operation commands were captured in the Windows event logs, including new passwords in clear text. This has been fixed now, by using Windows APIs instead of net use command for the agent to carry out password reset/verify operations.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.5 (8501) (9^th July 2016)

Feature Enhancements

• Service Account Password Reset using Password Manager Pro Agents
  Password Manager Pro agent enhanced to support automatic propagation of password changes across dependent services associated with a Windows domain account, when the respective account passwords are reset in Password Manager Pro.

  While creating a new client organization, MSP admins can now replicate the user and resource group structures as present in the MSP org and other client orgs. Resource group to user group share settings can also be replicated in the new org.
• Under 'Users' tab, new option to search for users by their 'First/Middle/Last Name' has been added.

Bug & Security Fixes

• Customers using v8500 faced slow performance issues while loading Two-factor authentication settings in the application's web interface. Page load time took 30-40 seconds. This has been fixed now.
• Earlier, while creating resources in Password Manager Pro, only HTTP and HTTPS schemes were allowed to define 'Resource URL'. Now, Amazon S3 URL styles and other schemes are also supported.
• In version 8500, values entered in additional field columns/accounts and values copied to clipboard were displayed incorrectly due to encoding issues. This has been fixed now.
• In version 8500, while selecting default domain under User Management in General Settings, an invalid input error was thrown if the default Domain Name field contained special characters. This has been fixed now.
• An XML eXternal entity (XXE) vulnerability identified in XML-RPC API has been fixed.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.5 (8500) (June, 2016)

Security Fixes & Enhancements:

• Password Manager Pro now comes with a comprehensive security filter that helps protect the solution against a host of vulnerabilities, including cross-site scripting attacks (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). In addition, to prevent any unauthorized actions by genuine users (by manipulating the parameters in the URLs), authorization check has been enabled for every single action involving a database query through URLs.
• New REST API to add API User.

---

Password Manager Pro Release 8.4 (8404) (May, 2016)

Security Fix

• Users making use of LDAP authentication were able to access their Password Manager Pro account through PMP's browser extensions by supplying a blank password. This issue was found only in PMP's browser extensions and NOT in the web version. However, since the fix involves changes in APIs in the web version, this security fix is being provided. Customers of all versions of PMP (till 8403), who are using browser extensions with LDAP authentication should apply this fix, in addition to upgrading the browser extension separately.

---

Password Manager Pro Release 8.4 (8403) (April, 2016)

New Features

• IIS AppPool Password Reset: Support for automatically resetting the passwords of associated IIS AppPool accounts when the domain account passwords are reset through Password Manager Pro. Optionally, the IIS AppPools can be restarted remotely by Password Manager Pro after the password change.
• New REST APIs:
  • To download certificates, licenses, and other files.
  • To add license keys, digital certificates, documents, images and more
  • To create multiple accounts that are associated with a specific resource id.
  • To delete a specific user in Password Manager Pro.
• Transfer Approver Privileges: Option to transfer the privilege to approve password access requests from one administrator to another in bulk. When an administrator leaves the organization or moves to a different department, all the approval privileges of that administrator can now be transferred to another administrator in a single click.

Enhancements & Bug Fixes

• Provision to customize password expiry report based on expiration date of passwords. With this option, you can now generate the list of passwords that are about to expire during a specified period of time. For instance, you can find passwords that will expire in the next 5 days.
• Privileged accounts can now be marked as favorites from the search result view itself.
• Earlier, custom reports, once saved, could not be duplicated with additional edits. Now, 'Save as new' option has been added to create duplicate copies of saved custom reports. Also, a direct link to create custom reports has been added under 'Audit' tab.
• RESTful API to fetch account details has been enhanced to include password expiry status, compliance status and reason in case of non-compliance, and configured policy for the accounts.
• Privileged accounts can now be marked as favorites from the search result view itself. Earlier, when password compliance notifications were configured for individual resource groups, in certain rare scenarios, some compliant passwords were also notified as non-compliant. This issue has been fixed.
• Earlier, when the option "Allow all admin users to manipulate the entire explorer tree" had been enabled in "General Settings", all resource groups, including unshared groups were displayed in the explorer tree structure (only the names of the unshared groups were displayed in grey text; the underlying passwords were not shown). Now, unshared groups can be hidden from view.
• Earlier, users had to manually go to 'Resources' tab and select the resource group name under 'Show Resources of' option to view the list of resources in each group. Now, resource group names have been hyperlinked to automatically take the user to 'Resources' tab and display the corresponding resources.

Security Fixes

• Earlier, while viewing old passwords from password history, it was possible to make changes to account ID in the request URL and retrieve password history of unshared passwords. This issue has been fixed now.
• Earlier, URL query string parameters were passed through HTTP GET method for 'Password Change' and 'Password Export' features, which was a concern since GET holds parameters in history. This has been changed now by using HTTP POST for query strings instead of HTTP GET.

  • When two-factor authentication is enabled globally, all new users who are imported/synced from AD/LDAP will have two-factor authentication enabled by default.
  • Earlier, password administrators also had the privilege to mark any password policy as the default policy. Henceforth, only administrators will have the privilege.

Password Manager Pro Release 8.3 (8303) (December, 2015)

Enhancements & Bug Fixes

• Automatic synchronization of Active Directory OU details did not work in the following scenario: When users / resources belonging to a sub-OU are imported into Password Manager Pro, the synchronization for the same did not work after a subsequent import operation from any other OU or sub-OU. This has been fixed. (Affects only those who started with PMP from build 8200 or later. Customers using previous versions and the ones migrated to latest versions from builds prior to 8200 are NOT affected).
• Provision to use a named instance of MS SQL server as the backend database for PMP. This is supported in all scenarios - using MS SQL server as the backend database afresh, and when upgrading from PostgreSQL or MySQL to MS SQL.
• Earlier, there were issues in loading audit trails when the page contained a large amount of data. Performance enhancements through optimizing SQL queries now result in showing the data 10 times faster. Displaying about 1 million audit records now approximately takes two seconds. In addition, you can now filter audit trails from primary and secondary servers and view them separately

Password Manager Pro Release 8.3 (8302) (November, 2015)

Enhancements & Bug Fixes

Password Manager Pro now integrates with federated identity management solutions for single sign-on. Technically, Password Manager Pro acts as the SAML service provider, and it integrates with SAML identity providers. The new integration helps leverage the identity provider's authentication to access Password Manager Pro. Users who have deployed Okta, OneLogin or any other SAML identity provider can automatically log in to the Password Manager Pro application from the respective identity provider's GUI without supplying credentials, after configuring PMP with the identity provider.
• Session Shadowing: Session recording capability has been extended to enable real-time monitoring of sensitive privileged sessions launched by users. Administrators may also terminate sessions in real time if any suspicious activity is found, giving admins complete control over privileged sessions.
• Language Selection: PMP administrator can now select the language for all users in 'General Settings'. Password Manager Pro can be localized in Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Polish.

Changes & Bug Fixes

• Password Manager Pro now bundles JRE v7u51
• For privileged session management, Password Manager Pro acts as the Gateway for launching Windows RDP and SSH sessions from the user's browser. These sessions are launched within a HTML5 compatible browser and the connection to the end devices are tunneled through the PMP server that acts as the session gateway, while also recording the session. In the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox, launching RDP sessions did not work. The screen closes immediately after launching the session. This has been fixed.
• PMP v7001 was identified to be having directory traversal vulnerability. This has been fixed by updating the RDP gateway.
• Earlier, when PMP was installed in other language boxes, audit trails were getting recorded in the respective language though the PMP web GUI was in English. This has been fixed.
• In v7001, when PMP license key with no multi-language support was installed, PMP stopped recording audit trails after a server restart. This has been fixed.
• Possibility for an XSS vulnerability (which can be triggered during authentication), was identified in PMP v7001. This has been fixed.
• Earlier, when configuring PMP to run in FIPS 140-2 compliant mode, nss libraries were required to be downloaded. Now, PMP uses nss v3.12.4 and it comes bundled with that.

PMP Release 7.0 (Build 7000) (Jan, 2014)

New Features & Enhancements

• MSP Edition: A separate edition to help Managed Service Providers (MSPs) manage the passwords of each of their clients separately, from a single management console. Passwords can be securely shared between MSP administrators and their respective customers, making sure that users only get access to the passwords they own or ones that are shared with them. The solution offers the flexibility to entrust the control of the password vault to the MSP administrator, the end user or both, as desired.
• Data Center Remote Access Management: Provision to launch secure, one-click SSH/Telnet access to remote devices in data centers with full password management. Typically, data centers limit direct access to remote devices via SSH connections due to security reasons and network segmentation. Instead, data center admins working remotely must first connect to a landing server and then "hop" to the target system. Administrators can now configure landing servers and their login credentials and then associate them with the resources being managed by Password Manager Pro. In turn, admins can launch a one-click connection with the remote resources without worrying about the intermediate hops. While the admin experiences a direct connection, Password Manager Pro automatically executes all of the intermediate hops in the background, establishing a connection with each landing server and finally with the remote resource.
• PMP Speaks Your Language: Provision to get PMP working in your language. At present PMP can be localized in Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, and Polish languages.
• Bulk Operation Support: Features like session recording, auto logon for web apps and password reset can now be configured in bulk for many devices at one go.
• LDAP User Groups Synchronization: User groups in LDAP can now be automatically synchronized at periodic intervals with the user database in PMP.

Bug Fixes / Changes

• Earlier, two options were provided for managing encryption key in PMP - you were allowed to either leave it to be managed by PMP or move it to a secure location / external drive and manage it yourself. Now, the option of leaving it to be managed by PMP has been removed. PMP does not allow the encryption key to be stored within its installation folder. This is done to ensure that the encryption key and the encrypted data, in both live and backed-up database, do not reside together. It is strongly recommend that you move and store this encryption key outside of the machine in which PMP is installed - in another machine or an external drive.
• Earlier, when exporting the personal passwords, the custom fields were not shown in plain-text. This issue has been fixed.
