Resolved Issues and Changes in HSPAS 23.1.2

  • Fixed an error with Verify Privilege Cloud Suite Agent login where redirect users failed when 'Authenticate Profile' was set to 'Password + Mobile Auth'. (ref: 459211)
  • Fixed an error when the Web RDP to Windows System had the RDP settings 'Window Size' set to 'Full Screen', and scroll bars on the bottom right of the Web RDP session screen appeared. (ref: 512725)
  • Fixed an error where Alma Linux Verify Privilege Cloud Suite Agents were not able to report their proper version and automatically upgrade. (ref: 518314)
  • Fixed an error where the DynamicInvoker would fail on a AWS hosted tenant when red rock queries were invoked for specific function calls due to additional required parameters. (ref: 525097)
  • Fixed a Privilege Elevation command failure where only one RunAs User was listed. (ref: 527216)
  • Verify Privilege Cloud SuiteTenant has guardrails in place to prevent the execution of queries that return large result sets when gathering data from the events table. These queries are used when generating specific types of reports. During the execution of the reports, large query results may cause excessive strain on resources and impact the performance at both tenant and pod levels. An error in the source code was identified, which allows the system to ignore the existing guardrails and return results of any size. The update will enforce the guardrails and prevent excessively large queries during report generation, minimizing the impact on the Verify Privilege Cloud SuiteVerify Privilege Cloud Suite Tenant's performance.
