Password Manager Pro allows users to add accounts via the Windows Domain agent when the account filter is provided using regex patterns.
Henceforth, if an administrator restricts a user from setting up the encryption passphrase for their personal passwords (under 'General Settings'), the user can set up an 'encryption key' for their personal passwords from the 'Personal' tabThey are also free to choose between whether to store or not store the encryption key or use Password Manager Pro's encryption key.
It is now possible to move the RESTAPI users to the client, and the supported client organizations with complete access can manage resources and accounts.
The six system-created audit schedules - 'Resource Audit Purge Schedule', 'Resource Audit Digest Schedule', 'UserAudit Purge Schedule', 'UserAudit Digest Schedule', 'TaskAudit Purge Schedule', and 'TaskAudit Digest Schedule' have been merged into a single schedule - 'Audit Purge and Digest' Schedule.
The system-created scheduled task 'Audit Update Schedule' has been renamed as 'Dashboard Chart Activity Schedule'It is available under 'Admin >> Manage >> Scheduled Tasks'.
Previously, when the 'Purge Audit Records' option was enabled, all the audit records older than the specified number of days were purgedFrom build 12000 onwards, users can choose to retain or delete audit records based on the operation type.
From now on, MSP admins will be able to replicate audit operation type settings and audit purge settings across all client organizations.
New REST APIs
This release comes with a bunch of new REST APIs for the following operations: Associate a resource to a resource group, Dissociate a resource from a resource group, Fetch resource groups associated with a resource, Delete a resource group, and Fetch ResourceGroupID.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 11.3 Build 11301 (Sep 24, 2021)

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 11.3 Build 11300 (Aug 13, 2021)

New Features:
Renewal of Certificates
A 'Renew' option has been newly added under 'Certificates >> Certificates' that allows users to initiate the renewal of Self Signed, Root Signed, Microsoft CA Signed, and Agent-signed certificates, and also the certificates issued by the third-party CAs. Upon renewal, the renewed certificates will automatically inherit the deployed servers and their credentials.
Discovery from UNC Shared Path for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS
Password Manager Pro now supports SSL certificate discovery from UNC (Universal Naming Convention) shared paths for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS machines. Use this feature to discover SSL certificates stored in a folder path within a server that is accessible by Password Manager Pro. After the discovery, Password Manager Pro will consolidate the newly-discovered SSL certificates in its certificate repository. This option is available during scheduled certificate discovery as well.
Certificate Discovery in DMZ Machines using the KMP Agent
It is now possible to discover the SSL certificates from directories in remote machines that are not directly accessible by Password Manager Pro—all through the KMP Agent. This option is available during scheduled certificate discovery as well.
Browser Deployment of Certificates
Users will now be able to deploy SSL certificates in browsers from Password Manager Pro for the following server types: Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
SSH Key Association using "Elevate to root user" Option
This release comes with a new "Elevate to root user" option. Now, as a security measure, it is possible to restrict users from directly accessing root users by disabling the root user login. Enabling this option elevates a user login from a non-root user to a root user and associates keys to all other users on the server.
RestApi
The new REST API, 'Deploy Certificate', has been added.
SSL Certificate Rediscovery
Password Manager Pro now allows you to rediscover SSL certificates from the same source using the server details entered during the previous discovery operation.
Integration with Buypass Go SSL and ZeroSSL
Password Manager Pro now integrates with Buypass Go SSL and ZeroSSL—two certificate authorities that use the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol to provide free, secure SSL certificates. Users can now request, acquire, create, deploy, renew, and automate the end-to-end management of SSL/TLS certificates issued by Buypass Go SSL and ZeroSSL, all directly from the Password Manager Pro web interface.
Integration with ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager (MDM) Plus
Password Manager Pro now integrates with ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager (MDM) Plus. This integration uses ManageEngine MDM APIs to discover and deploy SSL certificates to and from the mobile devices managed by your MDM server. Password Manager Pro then lets you filter the discovered SSL certificates based on the OS type such as iOS, Android, Windows, Chrome OS, Mac OS, and Apple tvOS. It is also possible to export reports of the MDM certificates managed in the Password Manager Pro repository within a selected period. Additionally, you can schedule periodic generation of MDM certificate reports.
Manager Pro allows you to globally modify the access level of the shared certificates.
New REST API's, 'Share SSL Certificate to User', 'Share SSL Certificate to User Group', 'Share SSL Certificate Group to User', 'Share SSL Certificate Group to User Group', 'Revoke SSL Certificate from User', 'Revoke SSL Certificate from User Group', 'Revoke SSL Certificate Group from User', 'Revoke SSL Certificate Group from User Group', 'Create SSL Certificate Group', 'Delete SSL Certificate Group', 'Edit SSL Certificate Group', 'Generate an Agent Install Key', have been added.
Enhancements:
Users can now view all the certificates associated with a particular agent by clicking the 'Host Name' of the agent listed under Certificates >> Certificates >> Windows Agents'.
Now, users can discover certificates issued by a particular 'Microsoft Certificate Authority' just by entering the MSCA name in the text box provided, during discovery. Remember, this additional option will be available for Password Manager Pro installations in Windows server machines only.
Now, it is possible to add the Wildcard name in the SAN field while creating a CSR or a self-signed certificate. With the Wildcard certificates, one can secure an unlimited number of subdomains for a registered base-domain.
Earlier, Certificate Expiry Notification emails sent to the email addresses specified in additional fields followed a fixed format. Now, the customization settings configured for notification emails in 'Admin >> SSH/SSL Config >> Notification Settings' will be applied to the emails sent via email addresses in the additional fields as well.
Password Manager Pro now supports scheduled SSL discovery and MS Certificate Store Discovery tasks with the KMP agent.
Previously, the certificates due for expiry in 10 days or less got automatically renewed. Now, users will be able to customize the number of days to auto-renew the certificates before they expire.
From now on, during CSR signing of SSL certificates using the KMP agent, it is possible to specify the Agent timeout value, in seconds.
Henceforth, users will be able to select specific Certificates or Certificate Groups while generating the 'SSL Certificates Report' Schedule type (under 'Admin >> SSH/SSL Config >> Schedules >> Add Schedule').
Users will now be able to add and edit the deployed servers list under 'Certificates >> Certificates >> Multiple Servers (icon)'. Newly added servers will be mapped with the latest certificate version in the certificate repository.
Password Manager Pro now supports IP range discovery for MS Certificate store discovery ('Certificates >> Discovery >> MS Certificate Store') using the PMP service with the domain Admin account. This allows administrators to discover certificates across networks.
Password Manager Pro now supports 'Load Balancer' Certificates discovery for Citrix devices. From build 11300 onwards, Password Manager Pro also supports scheduled certificate discovery from Linux-based load balancers such as BIG-IP F5, Nginx, and Citrix.
Certificates and CSR generation pages have been enhanced with the Random Password generation feature.
Users can now select up to five certificate templates while performing template-based SSL certificate discovery.
Users can now bypass proxy server settings while performing SSL certificate discovery. If this option is selected, Password Manager Pro will bypass the proxy server and directly perform online certificate discovery. This option is available during scheduled certificate discovery also.
Earlier, after certificate renewal, users will have to deploy MSCA/-self-signed certificates manually. Now, it is possible to deploy these certificates automatically if the user credentials are available.
Users will now be able to choose the 'Certificate type' [CER/DER/P7B/CRT] and 'Keystore type' [JKS/PKCS/PEM/KEY] while deploying certificates to Windows and Linux machines and while exporting certificates.
Now, it is possible to renew MSCA type Certificates with a new private key if a private key not available already.
From now on, Password Manager Pro supports ClouDNS to complete domain control validation while acquiring certificates from public Certificate Authorities.
Support for AES256-encrypted PKCS12 Keystores while adding certificate Keystores.
MSCA Discovery with KMP Agent using Multiple Templates
Users can now select up to five certificate templates while performing agent-based certificate discovery of local CA certificates. Before using this enhancement, please ensure the KMP Agent is upgraded to version 11300.
Search-Enabled Custom Columns
From build 11300 onwards, Password Manager Pro allows you to search within custom columns for SSL Certificates and SSH keys.
Multiple Servers List
Now you can include multiple servers for certificates in SSL certificate expiry notifications.
GoDaddy Certificates Import
From now on, users can directly import the existing certificates from their GoDaddy account into the Password Manager Pro repository.
Local Disassociation of Keys
It is now possible to dissociate keys locally if remote dissociation fails for users whose access has been discontinued.
APIs - Serial Number as the Mandatory Field
Earlier, the Serial Number field, which was optional in the below APIs, has now been made mandatory; To get a certificate, To get certificate keystore, and To delete a certificate.
Serial Number in the getCertificateDetails Rest API
In the getCertificateDetails Rest API, Serial Number has been added as an optional field; filling it fetches the details of that particular certificate alone.
Henceforth, the SSL certificates can be manually mapped with deployed servers list to any server directly from Certificates >> Certificates >> More >> Add Deployed Server'.
From now on, certificates/CSRs/certificate groups will have an email field to which the SSL expiry email notifications can be sent, where the expiry notification email address can be provided while creating the Certificate and CSR.
A new option - Deploy to Microsoft certificate store user account, has been added, which facilitates the deployment of the Microsoft Store deployed certificates to the respective user accounts, besides deploying to the computer accounts.
The SSL Certificate Expiry notification, set up under 'Admin >> SSH/SSL Config >> Notifications Settings >> Expiry', will now include Issuer, FingerPrint, and Serial Number fields in the Certificate Expiry email.
From build 11300, the 'Certificates Audits' tab will be available under the 'Audits' tab, where, all the certificates audit related to all the users will be displayed.
New REST APIs 'Get Password Policies' and 'Get Resource Types' have been added.
Bug Fixes:
The KMP agent got duplicated when re-installed from a different IP address. This has been fixed.
The 'Common name' column sorting issue in the 'Certificate Sign Report' wizard has been fixed.
The issue in MSCA auto-renewal with the EC key has been fixed.
Get Templates issues that existed with the non - English languages have been fixed.
Under 'Admin >> SSL Certificates >> IIS Binding', binding list retrieval failed for bindings with a protocol other than HTTP/HTTPs. This issue has been fixed.
Earlier during Digicert import, Password Manager Pro failed to import client/personal certificates into Password Manager Pro. This issue is now fixed.
Earlier, the date format had the month as a part of the value, due to which sorting did not work. Now, this issue has been resolved by modifying the date format in the CSV file to be the standard date format.
Earlier, while discovering certificates using a load balancer, there were problems with commands other than the standard Linux commands. This issue has been fixed.
Get templates issue has been fixed for CA name-based fetch.
Previously, the proxy configuration was not supported in GlobalSign integration, due to which users with proxy were unable to use the integration. This issue has been fixed now.
Earlier, it was possible to add or modify IISBinding only by giving the 'hostname'. This issue has been fixed, and now 'hostname' is not mandatory to create or update IISBinding.
Earlier, MSCA templates showed the OID instead of the template name. This issue is fixed.
During SSL discovery, discovery from servers with mutual authentication failed. This issue has been fixed now.
MSCA discovery, when carried out using an agent without any filter, failed. This issue is fixed now.
There was an issue in exporting the certificates as password-protected zips when password protection for exports was enabled under 'Privacy Settings'. This issue has been fixed now.
There was a failure in Linux deployment from the ServiceDesk Plus request. This issue has been fixed now.
Earlier, when the custom settings option 'View Support Information' was enabled for a custom user role, the users with that role were unable to access the 'Support' option from the profile drop-down. This issue is fixed now.
Earlier, when a new category was created with the same name as an existing one from the 'Personal' tab, the product did not display an error message. This issue is fixed now.
Earlier, if the name of a category seen from the 'Personal' tab contained the special character '&', the contents of the category were not visible in the display area. This issue is fixed now.
Earlier, when a new resource was created using the 'Create Resource' API, and the 'Resource URL' field was left blank, users could not edit the resource attributes in the Password Manager Pro UI. This issue is fixed.
Behavior Change:
From now on, all certificates with unique serial numbers will be listed under the 'Certificates' tab. However, the existing users can manage their already added certificates from the History section, which has now been moved under the 'Column Chooser'.
Security Fixes:
An XSS vulnerability (ZVE-2021-0956) that occurred during Load Balancer discovery has been fixed.
A SQL injection vulnerability identified in the PostgreSQL password reset functionality is fixed.
A path traversal vulnerability identified in the role report section is fixed by adding proper validation steps for the download file path of the report.
Earlier, users could reopen a closed remote SSH session window from the browser history page and reinitiate the remote connection without requesting for the password of the resource again. This issue is fixed.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 11.2 Build 11201 (Jul 16, 2021)

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 11.2 Build 11200 (Jul 7, 2021)

Enhancements:
New Query Reports
Two new default query reports for users having access to the browser extension and users who don't have access to the browser extension have been added.
New Resource Type
We have introduced a resource type, Cisco Nexus OS.
New Rest APIs
This release comes with a bunch of new RESTAPIs: Fetch UserGroupID, Configure Remote Password Reset for Linux resources, Share Resource and Share account to User Group.
Behavior Changes:
The API handling code which earlier responded to the V1 API format of ServiceDesk Plus On- Premises and ServiceDesk Plus Cloud will henceforth respond to their V3 API format.
The Authentication mechanism of ServiceDesk Plus Cloud has been updated from the older Authtoken based method to OAuth 2.0. In addition, from now on, it is possible to validate entries in the ticketing system columns against the entries in Password Manager Pro to check for any mismatches. Earlier, it was possible to check the entries in Password Manager Pro alone.
Note: If your current Ticketing System is ServiceDesk Plus On-Premises or ServiceDesk Plus Cloud, this upgrade pack will disable the integration and delete the complete integration data. You will have to reconfigure the ticketing system again. So, make sure you have a backup of the advanced configurations in the form of screenshots for reference purposes.
Bug Fixes:
When the PMP and KMP agents were installed in the same machine, the data used for the agents' authentication was stored in the same place in the registry, causing the overwriting of the agents' data, thereby making the agents non-functional. This issue has been fixed.
The automated scheduled task introduced for dashboard optimization caused the database connections to become unavailable, for some time, for a few users. This issue has been fixed now.
When Two-Factor Authentication was enabled, the legal banner and the privacy policy banner links in the Login page (enabled from the 'Rebrand' wizard) did not show up/work. We have resolved this issue.
Earlier, for some users, after configuring Duo TFA, the requests that were supposed to be sent to the PMP access URL were directly sent to the Password Manager Pro server. This issue has been fixed now.
Earlier, the 'Edit User' action did not work for certain users. We have resolved this issue.
Previously, the password entered in 'Importing users from AD wizard >> specify the user name and password manually' did not get saved due to a password encoding issue. This issue has been fixed.
Earlier, users were able to export offline passwords even when the export password was disabled using the export URL. This issue has been fixed now. A user enumeration issue has been fixed.

Enhancements:
Enhanced Password Policy Enhancements have been made to the existing password policy by introducing new constraints and additional features which include; improved default attributes for Strong and Medium password policies, the introduction of password limit, the addition of new attributes, such as password similarity and sequences, ability for Admins to add and manage up to 5 dictionaries, Dictionary word check, Obvious Substitution (LEET) word check, Password Strength Meter, Sample Password Generator, New Password Generator, etc. These would be of great help to administrators in setting highly secure password policies.
Access Control & Domain Account Restrictions Earlier, a user with access to a domain account can log into any resource shared with them using the domain account. Henceforth, it is possible to implement Domain account restrictions for target resources, i.e., Windows domain account users can be granted access to specific resources alone, which they actually want to access, instead of all resources shared with them. Please note that from this release, the Password Request API for domain accounts alone has been blocked.
Bug Fixes:
In build 11002, when the Admin users from the MSP org scheduled reports in the Client org, they received Zero bytes reports. This issue has been fixed now.
From build 11002, Additional fields were missing from the Bulk edit page of resources. This issue has been fixed now.
From build 10500, users with the Password Administrator role were unable to perform 'change role' or 'delete user' operation - to change to a Password user or a Password Auditor, even when no resources or accounts were present under 'Transfer Approver privileges. This issue has been fixed now.
In build 11004, while generating a custom report, say, a report containing all the resources present under a Dynamic resource Group, no results or a blank page was displayed. This issue has been fixed.
Security Fix:
When users configured X-Forward-For in Password Manager Pro, there was a possibility to bypass web access restriction by setting the X-Forward-For header manually. This issue has been fixed now.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 11.0 Build 11000 (Aug 11, 2020)

New Features:
Expiry Notifications for SSL Certificates
Now, use Password Manager Pro to discover, import, and configure expiry notifications for SSL certificates hosted in the following Amazon Web Services: AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
Self-signed Certificates Auto Renewal
Password Manager Pro now supports automated renewal of self-signed certificates along with Microsoft CA certificate renewal.
SSL Certificate Deployment and Binding - IIS Server
From now on, you can both deploy a certificate to the IIS server and also bind it to the desired website in the IIS, all from the Password Manager Pro interface itself, without the need to access the IIS server separately. Also, an option has been provided to automatically restart the IIS server for the deployment and binding to take effect, thereby eliminating the need for the manual restart from the IIS end.
Additional Fields
Password Manager Pro now brings you the 'Additional Fields' feature, configured from 'Admin >> SSH/SSL Config', and used to include any additional information about SSH keys and SSL certificates stored in the repository. There are four different categories of Additional Fields: character, numeric, date, and email. Users can choose to add or remove the Additional fields from SSH and SSL views. While creating an Additional field, users can choose whether it is applicable for SSH/SSL/both, and also customize the emails mentioned in it.
Column Chooser
This version of Password Manager Pro comes with the 'Column Chooser' feature that allows users to show or hide columns at runtime, and also rearrange the columns from the current view via drag-and-drop.
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) Keys
PGP encryption is used to enhance cryptographic privacy and authentication for online communication by encrypting and decrypting texts, emails, files, etc. It uses a combination of data compression, hashing, and public-key cryptography to boost confidentiality. Now, Password Manager Pro brings you this PGP functionality in the form of PGP key generation, where the keys are used to encrypt the data like emails, texts, etc. Create, store and manage PGP keys under 'Admin >> SSH/SSL'. Modify the key description anytime, export private/public keys, export keys to multiple email ids, and generate, view, and schedule reports. You can also send expiry notification emails to admins. This feature allows you to share and collaborate information securely among your trusted groups of users and businesses.
GlobalSign
Password Manager Pro now supports integration with GlobalSign SSL—a trusted Certificate Authority and a leading cloud-based PKI solutions provider. This integration enables users to request, acquire, import, deploy, renew and automate the end-to-end lifecycle management of SSL/TLS certificates issued by GlobalSign, directly from the Password Manager Pro web interface.
Certificate Deployment using Agent
Password Manager Pro can already deploy and bind certificates to IIS servers belonging to the domain, where Password Manager Pro also resides. Now, Password Manager Pro can also deploy certificates to IIS servers in demilitarized zones and also bind them to websites in IIS, all using an agent. This makes Password Manager Pro more scalable, as it can deploy and bind certificates in IIS servers, irrespective of whether they are in the same or different domain.
CSR Signing using Agent
In addition to the already available two sign types, namely, 'MS Certificate Authority' and 'Sign with Root', used to sign certificates from Password Manager Pro, a third sign type 'MS Certificate Authority with Agent' has been introduced. This new sign type is mainly used to sign certificates originating from a distinct domain, i.e., other than the domain to which Password Manager Pro belongs.
Integrating with Ticketing Systems
Password Manager Pro now integrates with enterprise ticketing systems namely ServiceDesk Plus (on-premise) and ServiceNow. This integration ensures that automatic service requests are created in the ticketing environment to notify administrators of SSL certificates that are at the risk of expiring and certificates that are deemed vulnerable after a vulnerability scan in Password Manager Pro. Users can set notification policies to govern the frequency of service request creation for expiring and vulnerable tickets.
New Certificate Format - PEM A new certificate format, Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM), has been added, in addition to the already available certificate export formats, Keystore and PFX, where the PEM format is used for digital certificates and keys, deployed in web server platforms (e.g., Apache).
Support for GoDaddy DNS
Password Manager Pro now supports GoDaddy DNS to complete the domain control validation procedure while acquiring certificates from public Certificate Authorities, along with the already available DNS support types, Azure DNS, Cloudflare DNS, Amazon route 53, and RFC2136 Update. Using GoDaddy DNS, users can update the DNS record for GoDaddy domain validation from the Password Manager portal itself.
Enhancements:
Password Manager Pro now provides additional insights on agent activity such as heartbeat interval, latest response time and operation performed.
For scheduled SSL expiry tasks, users now have the option to choose whether or not, to receive email notifications when no certificates in that particular schedule are nearing expiration.
Password Manager Pro offers automatic bundling of individual private key (.key) files and certificate files (.cer/.pem) into 'JKS' and 'PKCS' keystore file formats and provides export option for the same.
Two extra categories have been added to the criteria-based certificate group creation: AWS service and Certificate template.
Now, it is possible to use the Password Manager Pro service account credentials for authentication while deploying certificates in Windows servers.
Henceforth, while creating a certificate, users can provide ephemeral access (validity in hours and minutes) to the certificates created, after which the certificate auto-expires. This eliminates the need for compulsory permanent access credentials to access target systems and also explicit access repeal.
It is now possible to perform SNI-based SSL discovery using the Common Name and IP Address combination.
The option to filter certificates based on the key length and signature algorithm within specific expiry days has been added to the 'getAllSSLCertificates' Rest API.
It is now possible to customize notifications and their intervals. Users can now choose not to receive notifications regarding the expired certificates, and send a separate email and customized subject per certificate, from 'Admin >> SSH/SSL >> Notification Settings'. The same actions can be done while creating new schedules under 'SSH/SSL >> Schedules >> Add Schedule', where you have to select the Schedule Type as 'SSL Expiry'.
Earlier, Password Manager Pro allowed signing and deployment of certificates only from Windows systems. Now, it is possible to perform certificate signing and deployment to Windows systems from Linux installations through agents.
It is now possible to provide customized subjects in 'Schedules'. Also, users can tailor schedules by adding custom email content and a unique signature.
In RestAPI, the fetch details format is modified is such a way that the "details" attribute holds all the data. The following is the modified API list; GetCertificateDetails, getallsslcertificates, getAllSSLCertsExpiryDate, sslCertSingleDiscovery, sslCertRangeDiscovery, getallsshkeys, GetSSHKey, GetSSHKeysForUser and GetAllAssociatedUsers.
This release comes with an exclusive page for 'Windows Agents', accessible from the 'Certifcates' tab, from where users will be able to perform all agent-specific operations such as SSL Discovery using agent, deployment of SSL certificates in certificate groups using agent and CSR Signing with MSCA agent.
Certificate deployment in multiple servers has now been made simpler by using an agent, provided the agent is running in the server to be deployed, and both the agent name and the server DNS name are the same.
Now, auto-renewal of certificates is possible for the 'MSCA using agent' sign type as well, from 'Admin >> SSL Certificates >> Certificate Renewal'.
The 'Certificate Sign Report' comes with the following MSCA/Third party CA signing details; Certificate Authority, Certificate Template, Sign Type column.
The 'Certificate Renewal report' comes with the 'Renewed By' column relevant to MSCA and 3rdPartyCA renewal details.
A new option 'Reissue Certificate' has been added under 'Certificates >> GlobalSign' that allows users to request GlobalSign to reissue an SSL certificate.
The new 'GlobalSign Orders Report' allows the GlobalSign orders to be added as individual reports, which provide a detailed view of certificate orders requested from the GlobalSign CA.
From now on, users can add a "Key Comment' while importing a new SSH key and editing an existing key from the repository. Also, users can avail the checkbox "Update comment in associated users" to update the Key comment to the associated end servers automatically.
Now, it is possible to add additional properties to a certificate while creating it, by using the 'Advanced Options' menu. It allows users to choose from a list of Key Usage and Advanced Key Usage properties, and add them to the new certificate. Examples for the Key Usage properties include; Digital Signature, Decipher Only, Encipher Only, and Certificate Sign.
The DigiCert CA page has been enhanced with a new menu 'Show' that has four options, Expired, Revoked, Rejected, and Others, used to filter the DigiCert CA list view.
Now, while adding or modifying the Certificate Groups, it is possible to set 'additional fields' also as one of the 'By Criteria' filters for certificates.
New REST APIs 'GET CSR list' and 'Sign CSR' have been added.
The 'Expiry Notification' has been enhanced with the custom mail content, 'Title' and 'Signature'.
The 'Certificate Renewal Report' page under 'Reports >> Certificate Reports' now comes with a column chooser.
Users can now view all the certificates associated with a particular agent by clicking the 'Host Name' of the agent listed under 'Certificates >> Windows Agents'.
It is now possible to discover certificates issued by a particular 'Microsoft Certificate Authority' just by entering the MSCA name in the text box provided, during discovery. Remember, this additional option will be available for Password Manager installations in Windows server machines only.
Now, it is possible to add the Wildcard name in the SAN field while creating a CSR or a self-signed certificate. With the Wildcard certificates, one can secure an unlimited number of subdomains for a registered base-domain.
Earlier, Certificate Expiry Notification emails sent to the email addresses specified in additional fields followed a fixed format. Now, the customization settings configured for notification emails in 'Notifications' and 'Schedules' will be applied to the emails sent via email addresses in the additional fields as well.
Bug Fixes:
Previously, certificate deployment failed if the field "Store Password" contained a space character while creating certificates from 'Certificates → Create'. This issue has now been fixed.
Previously, when there was a "space" character present in a certificate group name, attempting to fetch the SSL certificates report pertaining to that group from the Reports tab threw the following error: "Invalid field format". This has now been fixed.
Previously, even after the certificate private key was imported and attached to a certificate in the Password Manager Pro's certificate repository, the "Export Keystore/PFX" was still disabled. This has now been fixed.
During AD User certificate discovery and Root certificate signing performed from the Password Manager Pro interface, the 'Connection Mode' got saved as 'No SSL' only, even if the 'SSL' mode was chosen. This issue has been fixed now.
Earlier, MSCA signing supported 'java keytool' CSR only. Now, from this release, all CSRs will be supported by MSCA signing.
During certificate creation, all values entered in the SAN field were all together categorized as 'DNS' only. Now, the values are segregated as 'DNS' and 'IP Address' categories.
Earlier, during Digicert integration, import of code signing and client/personal certificates got failed. This issue has been fixed now.
Security Fix:
Earlier, for SSH and SSL related API calls, the Authentication token was passed as a request parameter. From 11000, all SSH and SSL related API calls require the Authentication token to be passed in the request header only.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 10.4 Build 10400 (Oct 18, 2019)

New Features:
Integration with DigiCert SSL
Password Manager Pro integrates with DigiCert—a leading TLS/SSL, IoT and various other PKI solutions provider. Users can request, acquire, create, deploy, renew and automate the end-to-end management of SSL/TLS certificates issued by DigiCert, all directly from the Password Manager Pro portal.
CSR Templates
It is now possible to create and use predefined templates for CSR (Certificate Signing Request) generation.
Option to Exclude Certificates
Users can now choose to ignore certain certificates during the SSL discovery or manual addition of certificates into the Password Manager Pro repository. A new option is added under 'Admin >> SSH/SSL >> Exclude Certificate', which you can utilize to add the certificates to be excluded, by specifying their Common Name and Serial Number.
Support for RFC2136 DNS Updates
Password Manager Pro now supports RFC2136 DNS updates to complete domain control validation while acquiring certificates from public certificate authorities (CAs). Option to modify the email id of the Let's Encrypt account, used by Let's Encrypt to send email alerts of expiring certificates.
Enhancements:
Earlier, it was possible to associate a SSH key with a user account only when the target system was reachable from the Password Manager Pro server. This was troublesome when the target system was inaccessible. Now, from the Password Manager Pro build 10400, an option is provided for Linux resource types that users can opt to force map SSH keys to user accounts, even if the target systems are not reachable.
Users can now use Password Manager Pro to sign CSRs (either using your internal Microsoft CA or a root certificate) as and when they are generated.
Password Manager Pro now supports file-based discovery for scheduled SSH and SSL discovery tasks.
A new dashboard widget to provide data about SSL configuration vulnerabilities has been added.
Support is enabled for the discovery of SSH keys with ECDSA and ED25519 signature algorithms.
A new REST API to view the private key passphrase of SSL certificates has been added.
Bug Fixes:
During OpenLDAP and Novell Directory import, new users' domain names were not updated properly, which caused login exception. This has been fixed now.
AzureAD did not work when the proxy server was configured in Password Manager Pro. This has been fixed now.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 10.2 Build 10200 (Jul 30, 2019)

Enhancements:
SSL Discovery:
Agent-based Discovery:
Password Manager Pro now supports agent-based SSL discovery that allows administrators to discover and import certificates present across a network by installing one or more instances of agent software on target systems. The agent, which is available as a compressed package with all the necessary configurations in password Manager Pro interface, once installed in the required end servers, performs certificate discovery and updates the certificate database.
Load Balancer Certificate Discovery:
Password Manager Pro now allows administrator users to discover and consolidate SSL certificates deployed to Linux based load balancers such as Nginx and F5
through a process tunnelled via SSH.
Option to Login to Certificate Store and Microsoft CA using Service Accounts:
A dedicated option is provided for the Administrators to make use of the Password Manager Pro service account credentials to log in to target systems, while performing Certificate Store and Microsoft CA discovery, without having to manually enter them.
SSH and SSL Discovery:
Subnet Discovery:
Password Manager Pro now provides the subnet discovery option for both SSH and SSL discovery, allowing administrators to discover keys and certificates from specific subnetworks within an IP range.
Option to Exclude IP addresses:
Users can now choose to exclude specific IP addresses when performing bulk discovery from an IP address range.
Key-based Authentication for Certificate Deployment:
Password Manager Pro now provides an additional key-based authentication functionality (apart from the conventional password authentication), which users can leverage to deploy certificates to password-less Linux end servers.
Support for Amazon Route 53 DNS:
In addition to Azure and Cloudflare DNS, Password Manager Pro now supports Amazon Route 53 DNS to complete the domain control validation process when acquiring certificates from public CAs.
New SSH Key Types Added:
From now on, two additional SSH key types - ECDSA and ED25519 will be available for selection while creating new SSH keys, out of which, rotation is possible for the key type ED25519.
Option to Use Existing Password Manager Pro Account during Certificate Deployment:
While deploying certificates to target web servers, a dedicated option is provided for the users to use an existing Password Manager Pro account, instead of entering the credentials.
New Rest APIs Added:
Two new REST APIs are newly added; REST API to add certificates to Password Manager Pro certificate repository and REST API to delete ssh keys.
Bug Fixes:
Earlier, when a certificate was deployed to two servers, and if one of the deployed servers was deleted, the "Multiple Servers" icon was still shown. This has now been fixed.
Formerly, when multiple certificates were discovered from a single resource, and when the DNS name of one of the certificates was changed, the DNS names of all the other certificates also got changed. This has now been fixed.
Earlier, when the scheduled discovery operations for SSH and SSL failed, there were a few instances, where the audit records were not updated properly. This has now been fixed.
Previously, during the following processes—Microsoft Certificate Store discovery, server certificate upload, and Radius server configuration (server secret field), if a password, containing special characters, was entered, a "harmful content" error was thrown. This has been fixed.
Earlier, certificates without an original common name (with the SAN name as the common name, by default) failed to update, after running a scheduled discovery. This issue has now been fixed.
Previously, the 'Days' filter in the SSL Expiry Report failed to render correct results. This has now been fixed.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 10.1 Build 10104 (Jul 15, 2019)

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 10.1 Build 10103 (Jun 26, 2019)

New Features:
Integration with ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus (ADSSP)
Earlier, when the ADSSP's privileged domain account password was reset in PMP, the new password had to be manually updated in ADSSP. If not, ADSSP still retains the old password, thereby restricting the AD users from performing tasks such as password reset, account unlock, etc. With PMP-ADSSP integration, the privileged domain account details of ADSSP will be mapped with the domain account details in PMP. So, whenever the password reset of ADSSP's privileged domain account is performed in PMP, the new password will be automatically updated in ADSSP as well.
Integration with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus (SDP)
Technicians using SDP often need to access target machines (or resources) manually to resolve issues, which involves security-related challenges, such as sharing sensitive passwords for authentication, etc., especially while using the privileged accounts. They also had the pain of jumping between machines to perform different tasks. With this integration, accessing the remote systems from the ServiceDesk Plus portal is just a click away for the Technicians. Administrators can now provide the advantage of secure remote access to the target machines (or resources) only to the authorized Technicians, without sharing the credentials. The Technicians can remotely access the target endpoints (or resources) from the ServiceDesk Plus portal without having to log in to PMP each time to fetch the credentials.
Enhancement:
Option to add the recorded RDP session link to the "Change" description in ServiceDesk Plus
From now on, while integrating Password Manager Pro with the ServiceDesk Plus ticketing system, in addition to the option "Use ChangeID for Validation", a new option to allow PMP to add the link to the recorded RDP session to the "Change" Description of ServiceDesk Plus will be available.
Bug Fixes:
In PMP build 10102, the Periodic Password Export could not be scheduled, when either of the options 'Once', or, 'Day(s)' or 'Monthly' was chosen. This issue is fixed now.
In PMP build 10101, when a custom resource type was created (under Admin >> Resources >> Resource Types >> Add) using the "Existing Resource Type" category and applied to the resources, the password reset failed for the Domain accounts in the resource. This issue is fixed now.
While handling a security fix in build 10102, the URL of PMP Agent was mistakenly blocked along with a few other URLs. This interrupted the communication between the Agent and the PMP server, which in turn suspended the Agent-related activities in PMP. This issue is fixed now.
Password Manager Pro provides the option to configure remote password reset through a landing server for Cisco devices such as Cisco Catalyst, Cisco IOS, and Cisco CAT OS. From PMP build 10001 onwards, when an existing landing server was selected to perform the remote password reset for a resource, the settings though appeared to be saved did not get saved actually. This issue is fixed.
In addition to using account credentials to launch a remote SSH connection, Password Manager Pro also allows the remote connections to be tunnelled through private keys. From PMP build 10001 onwards, when the private key option is enabled or disabled for a Linux-based resource type (Linux, Cisco IOS, Cisco CatOS, Cisco PIX, Juniper NetScreen OS, HP Procurve and VMware ESXi), the auto-logon helper option for that resource got disabled, thereby entirely removing the option to launch a remote connection. This issue is fixed.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 10.0 Build 10001 (Apr 11, 2019)

Enhancements:
High Availability Monitoring for PostgreSQL Database Server
Password Manager Pro now comes with more advanced HA management and monitoring capabilities for PostgreSQL database server with various notification options under "Admin >> High Availability". The all-in-one, dashboard-style GUI enables monitoring the availability of your Primary and Seconday servers and the associated databases. You can switch the view from the Primary to Secondary server, and vice-versa, anytime, which allows an effective tracking of your servers and their performance. You will be able to view the following in the HA GUI; the HA summary, the status of the servers and the associated databases, the replication pending count, and the connection lost and connection resumed times. You can also modify the Secondary server details.
Support for SAML-based SSO Configuration for Azure AD Users with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
In earlier versions, though it was possible to use SAML-based Single-Sign-On (SSO) from the Microsoft Azure portal for Azure AD users, the authentication did not happen when Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) was enabled in Azure AD. Now, it is possible to use the SAML-based authentication with Azure AD as the Identity provider coupled with Azure MFA.
Bug Fixes:
Password Manager Pro supports Active Directory-based Single-Sign-On that works via NTLMv2. While this was working fine in older versions, the NLTMv2 authentication against the Computer Object was failing in version 10.0. This issue is now addressed and the AD SSO feature works fine now.
In Password Manager Pro version 10.0, the "Advanced Search" field did not return the intended results for the keyword entered using the AND/OR-based search criteria. This issue is fixed and the "Advanced Search" is fully functional now.
From Password Manager Pro version 9.7, when a user was deleted from AD / LDAP / Azure, instead of a single notification email, there was a continuous triggering of emails from Password Manager Pro, during every sync. This issue is fixed.
From Password Manager Pro version 9.8, in specific cases, while viewing the resources under a Dynamic Group, other resources out of the group (belonging to the logged-in user) were also displayed along with the resources belonging to the selected group. This issue is fixed.
From Password Manager Pro version 9.9, when the local authentication for AD users was disabled (under "Admin >> Settings >> General Settings >> User Management"), the local authentication got disabled for "all users". This restricted the users from accessing Password Manager Pro using their local admin credentials and an 'Incorrect Username/Password' error was thrown. This issue is fixed.
In Password Manager Pro version 10.0, the "Download" button did not work while transferring a file from a remote machine to a local machine via RDP connection. This issue is fixed.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 10.0 Build 10000 (Mar 27, 2019)

New Features:
Linux Resource Discovery using SSH:
Earlier, Password Manager Pro supported Telnet-based discovery alone for Linux endpoints. Now it supports SSH protocol as well for resource discovery. By providing SSH login credentials, the Admins will be able to discover the Linux endpoints using an IP Address / IP Range.
Note: Telnet-based discovery will eventually be deprecated as it is not a secured protocol.
"Let's Encrypt" Wildcard SSL Certificate Management Support:
Password Manager Pro already supports SSL certificates signing by "Let's Encrypt" Certificate Authority. Recently, they have upgraded their protocols to enable support for wild card certificate signing as well. Hence, from now on, the PMP users will be able to get their wildcard SSL certificates signed by "Let's Encrypt" CA and manage the same.
SSL Certificate Discovery from SMTP servers:
Password Manager Pro already allows discovery of SSL certificates from Certificate Stores, Microsoft CA and Active Directory. In addition to this, the SSL certificates can now be discovered from SMTP servers as well.
SSL Certificate Discovery as a Scheduled Operation:
Earlier, importing of SSL certificates from the Microsoft Certificate Store was an on-demand operation. Now, it is possible for Admins to create scheduled tasks (under Admin >> SSH/SSL >> Schedule >> Add Schedule) to automatically discover and import the certificates from Microsoft Certificate Store and certificates issued by Microsoft Certificate Authority.
Import Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs):
Though it was earlier possible to import a key or a certificate inside Password Manager Pro, the Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) had to be generated inside the application only. Now, PMP allows importing (under "Certificates >> Create CSR >> Import") and managing of CSR files, generated externally, by forwarding them to trusted certificate authorities and tracking their status.
Enhancements
Crumbling of SSH Session Recordings:
Formerly, the SSH session recordings were stored as encoded, individual files. This might cause performance issues when the SSH session time is stretched, as the file gets constantly updated in real-time. From now on, the recordings out of extended SSH sessions will be stored as multiple files and rolled over. This should provide a smooth SSH session experience and also a zero buffer time during the session playback.
Remote Password Reset for Weblogic Server:
Apart from the endpoints listed here, Password Manager Pro can now reset, verify and manage the passwords of Weblogic application servers as well. It is possible to manage the passwords of all the Weblogic server versions, as the password reset is performed with the help of JMX service.
RDP Gateway Enhancements:
Password Manager Pro employs "SparkGateway" from Remote Spark for establishing RDP Gateway sessions. The bundled version of SparkGateway, updated in this version, comes with enhanced file transfer functionalities. This allows users to leverage file transfer improvements while opening RDP connections using PMP.
Option to Retain SSH Keys in Target End-points while Deleting the same from Password Manager Pro vault:
Heretofore, when an SSH key was deleted from the Password Manager Pro vault, the same was removed from the associated Unix/Linux endpoints as well. From this version, Admins have the option (in the SSH key delete confirmation window) to choose whether to remove a key from the endpoint, while deleting it from inside the vault.
Bug Fixes:
While using Internet Explorer, the RDP sessions had intermittent freezing issues and lag, especially when the sessions were idle for 10-15 mins.
Due to an encoding issue, the SSH sessions did not work, when the users whose AD username begins with the character 'u' logged into the Password Manager Pro.
When the option "Generate unique password for every account(Recommended)" was selected under "Groups >> Actions >> Periodic Password Reset", new passwords generated were based on the resource group password policy, instead of account password policy. This has been fixed now.
From version 9000, the "User Authentication Failed" report under "Dashboard >> User Dashboard >> User Activity" displayed 'No audits found' message due to a filter issue. This has been fixed now to show the valid data.
Earlier, a new web app connection always replaces an existing connection (when launched through the "Connections" tab). This is fixed now, and each connection launches in new tabs.
Password Manager Pro uses SCP protocol for deploying SSH keys in target end-points. Previously, only the "To" file information was sent along the SCP request which worked fine. But in the recent SCP versions, the "From" file information has also been made mandatory. So now, Password Manager Pro sends both "To" and "From" information of the SSH key files, thus ensuring proper completion of file deployment.
In earlier versions of Password Manager Pro, while deploying SSL certificates in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) server, the private keys exported along with the certificates were corrupted. This is fixed now.
Previously, while signing a certificate using custom Root CA, a security error was thrown when the "SAN" field was blank. This is now fixed, and the certificates can be signed, even when the SAN field is left empty.
Security Fix:
We have renovated the security framework of Password Manager Pro. The following are some of the major changes and enhancements:
In earlier versions, Password Manager Pro primarily relied on "Blacklisting" for securing the product URLs from Injection and other script attacks. With this release, the security framework has been updated to use "Whitelisting" of the necessary URLs, which maximizes product security.
The validation of JSON array parameters has been intensified for optimal security.
A few checks with respect to file uploads (e.g., limit and size) are included to keep load attacks at bay.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 9.9 Build 9900 (Jan 23, 2019)

New Features & Enhancements:
Plugins for DevOps Containers - Jenkins and Ansible
The Password Manager Pro plugins developed for credential management in Jenkins and Ansible help improve security in organizations' DevOps pipeline. The plugins ensure that required credentials are retrieved securely from Password Manager Pro's vault every time when an automation schedule is run through the tools, instead of being embedded in plain text within script files. Moreover, with the credentials stored in Password Manager Pro, you can also enforce regular rotation and automatic update of the new password in the respective remote device.
Build Password Reset Workflows with SSH Commands:
Now extend Password Manager Pro's reset provisions to support remote password changes for SSH-based resources in your environment without the need for a CLI terminal. Quickly build command workflows using built-in or customized SSH sets and map them to respective SSH device accounts to execute password resets in a simple and effective manner. This new addition to Password Manager Pro's reset capabilities enables you to enforce automatic password updates for resource types that are not supported out-of-the-box by the application.
Two-factor Authentication Support:
From v9900 onwards, Password Manager Pro readily integrates with the following services to provide two-factor authentication support for application login.
Microsoft Authenticator
Okta Verify
RESTful API Updates
New API to get audit details.
Resource and account creation APIs enhanced to include password policy association.
Resource and account edit APIs enhanced to include password policy association.
Bug Fixes:
From v9200 till v9803, passwords checked out under a time-sensitive access request did not get checked back in automatically upon access expiration if a Password Manager Pro server restart took place in between. This has been fixed.
From v9802 till v9803, users could not raise password access requests when they and the environment in which Password Manager Pro server was installed were in different time zones. This has been fixed.
[MSP Edition] From v9802 till v9803, while configuring access control for a resource in a particular client organization, the user groups list in the configuration window also displayed the user groups that belonged to other client organizations. This has been fixed.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 9.9 Build 9802 (Dec 5, 2018)

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.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 9.9 Build 9800 (Sep 10, 2018)

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 the AD credentials with which they are currently logged into PMP.
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.

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.
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.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 9.7 Build 9700 (May 29, 2018)

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 v9601, SSH connections to remote systems failed if Password Manager Pro was running on an Ubuntu server. This has been fixed.
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.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 9.6 Build 9600 (Apr 4, 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).

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.
Earlier, during user import from an LDAP domain, the user groups in the domain were also wrongly identified as individual user objects and listed under Password Manager Pro's 'Users' tab. This has been fixed.
Earlier, with regard to LDAP authentication, users who were moved from one OU to another in their Active Directory (AD) domain could later not log into Password Manager Pro using their AD credentials. 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.
Local and service accounts enumeration during Windows discovery.
Fetching of service accounts and scheduled tasks for Windows and Windows Domain resources.
Password change and verification as well as associated service restarts for Windows resources.
Service accounts and scheduled tasks password resets for Windows Domain resources.

New Feature:
File Transfers Over Remote Desktop Sessions
Henceforth, in real-time Windows RDP sessions launched via Password Manager Pro's session gateway, users can securely transfer files from local machine to remote target machine, and vice versa.
Enhancements & Bug Fixes:
Password Manager Pro now uses captcha services during application login to enhance security. The users will be required to resolve a captcha when they enter an invalid username/password for five continuous login attempts.
Earlier, out of the remote sessions (RDP, SSH, and SQL) launched via Password Manager Pro's session gateway, one or more of the sessions at random still continued to show under the 'Active Privileged Sessions' tab even when those sessions had already been terminated by respective users. This has been fixed.
Earlier, the results for 'Find Out of Sync Passwords' action executed for a resource group showed that all passwords were in sync even when passwords for one or all of the Windows resources in that group were not in sync. The wrong results were captured in the audit records as well. This has been fixed.
Earlier, when a user clicked on the 'Forgot Password?' link in the Password Manager Pro (PMP) login screen to set a new password via email, the email could not be validated if the recipient's email address contained an apostrophe. This has been fixed.
From v8600 till v9200, in Azure AD user/user groups import, only a maximum of 100 users/user groups could be imported. This has been fixed to allow users/user groups import without any count limitation.
From v8700 till v9200, users faced blank page issues when the custom role assigned to them did not allow specific actions in that page. For instance, under dashboard provisions, if a user is allowed to access only the user dashboard and not the password dashboard, clicking on the 'Dashboard' button in the left navigation pane displayed a blank white screen upon loading. This has been fixed.
From v9000 till v9200, under 'Resources' tab, the users faced specific search and page navigation issues after they had accessed a resource group displayed in the 'Password Explorer' tree view. The following bugs have been fixed:
In case of search, when a user used the in-line search option available for 'All My Passwords' (or any other tab under 'Resources'), then navigated to a resource group via the tree view and returned back to 'All My Passwords' page, the typed-in search term and the respective results were still retained and displayed.
When a user navigated between pages under tabs such as 'Passwords' or 'Favorites', then clicked on a resource group via the tree view and returned back to the tab accessed earlier, the page number (2 or above) that had been selected previously was launched instead of the first page.
From v9000 till v9200, the global search option in the top pane did not work properly when the search term contained the ampersand sign ( '&' ). For instance, if the search term was 'AT&T', search results were returned only for 'AT', i.e. only for the characters before the sign. This has been fixed.
From v9000 till v9200, when the account name of a resource contained more than 140 characters, the corresponding Account Actions and Resource Actions icons did not work for that account. This has been fixed.
From v9000 till v9200, when the URL length of a resource was more than 700 characters, the corresponding Resource Actions icon did not work. This has been fixed.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 9.2 Build 9200 (Oct 13, 2017)

New feature:
IIS Web.config discovery:
Password Manager Pro can now identify the domain accounts which are used in the connection string of IIS web.config files that are stored in PMP. While changing the password of the domain accounts stored in Password Manager Pro, it can automatically update the password in the IIS web.config files.
Enhancements and fixes:
Password Access Control Workflow has been upgraded. With this update:
One or more user groups can be designated to approve password access requests.
Earlier, some users can be excluded from access control. Now, you have an option to exclude both users and user groups from access control.
Users can specify when they want to access the password - now or later, while making a request and can also send a reminder mail before the access time.
Similarly, administrator can specify when the user can access the password - now or later, while processing the request.
In addition, users can be enforced to provide reason for password retrieval.
Reminder e-mail can be sent to the administrator to approve the password request before the stipulated time.
A grace time of upto 60 minutes can be provided to the user when the access time ends.
Auto check-in time can be specified when the request is approved by the administrator.
Maximum time period can be specified after which the pending access request becomes void.
Password Manager Pro now integrates with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus by validating change request in addition to the ticket ID entered by the user in the ticketing system. And validated occurs only when the change ID provided is approved in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus.
Password Manager Pro enables recording of RDP remote session launched from the product and you can trace the recorded RDP remote session through the resource name, user who launched the session, time at which the session was launched. In addition, start and stop audit for RDP remote session has been enhanced now.
In v9000 and above, the mail notification sent to the users about the access permission shared or revoked contained blank values. This has been fixed now.
In v9000 and above, 'resource actions' icon was not listed for user with custom role 'edit resource'. This has been fixed now.
From v9200 and above, a resource can also be searched in the search column by providing the resource URL. Earlier, a resource can be searched only by providing the resource name, description or resource type.
In v9000 and above, configure access control deactivation for resources in bulk was not working. This has been fixed now.
In v9100 and above, when enabling two factor authentication - Duo security, the screen hangs at 'Initializing web client'. This has been fixed now.
In v8704 and above, Secondary DNS field in WindowsDomain resource type was removed. This has been fixed now.
Earlier, already existing resource type can be added again with change in alphabet case (lower case or upper case). This has been fixed now.
Earlier, addon failed to auto-fill passwords to the websites in client org. This has been fixed now.
Earlier, Access Snapshot was not working upon clicking 'View per page' to 50 / 75 / 100 resources. This has been fixed now.
Earlier, Windows discovery fails when the username / password contained angular brackets and the harmful content audit has the actual password in clear text. This has been fixed now.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 9.1 Build 9101 (Sep 27, 2017)

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 9.0.0 Build 9000 (May 2, 2017)

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.

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.
An XSS vulnerability which resulted in unauthorized permission to execute arbitrary commands was found in Password Policies feature. This has been fixed now.
The internal security framework used for Password Manager Pro has been upgraded to the latest version.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 8.7 Build 8700 (May 2, 2017)

New Features, Enhancements & Fixes:
Custom Roles : Option to create custom roles for users, with provision to define operational scope for each role in a fine-grained manner. You can allow or restrict operations for the custom role (from a list of 100+ options like adding resources, allowing remote access to resources, creating policies etc.) and assign the role to desired number of users. 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.
In v8505 and above, the 'Copy to Clipboard' option across the GUI did not work in Chrome browser. This has been fixed.
In v8601 and above, when a user tried to update password for scheduled tasks from Password Manager Pro, the reset failed due to a double quote missing in the reset command. This has been fixed.
Earlier, users were unable to launch RDP connections from Password Manager Pro's web-interface when the respective username contained a space or the password contained a percent sign ( % ). This has been fixed.
Earlier, when details such as name, description etc. were provided in Japanese for resources, the Japanese characters were not displayed in the PDF version of Canned and Query reports generated for the respective resources. 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.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 8.6 Build 8603 (May 2, 2017)

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.
Username mapping is now available for two-factor authentication options such as Duo Security and PhoneFactor. This option allows you to map usernames between Password Manager Pro and two-factor authentication services listed above.
Earlier, integrity checks for password synchronization once enabled was carried out for all passwords on a daily basis by default. The administrator could only adjust the time at which the check should be carried. Henceforth, integrity checks can be scheduled to be run at desired time intervals.
Earlier, newly configured mail server settings could not be successfully saved if any of the given e-mail ids consisted of '-' (hyphen). This has been fixed now.
Earlier, in the Japanese version of Password Manager Pro, text inputs in the 'Reason' field syslog messages sent from the tool were either incomplete or comprised of garbled characters. This has been fixed now.
In v8500 and above, when resources with file attachments were shared with password users, the users were unable to download the attachment. This has been fixed.
Security Fixes:
A function level access control vulnerability resulted in unauthorized permission to edit Password Manager Pro's default resource types. This has been fixed now.
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.

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.

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.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 8.5 Build 8505 (May 2, 2017)

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.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 8.5 Build 8504 (May 2, 2017)

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.

New in ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 8.5.0 Build 8503 (Aug 31, 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, '' in the account password. This limitation has been removed now.

Leveraging the power of HTML 5, PMP 6.5 brings the first-in-class auto logon mechanisms for launching Windows RDP, SSH and Telnet sessions. While current solutions require inconvenient and insecure methods like end-point agents, helper programs at user desktop and browser plug-ins, the only requirement for PMP's cutting-edge solution is a HTML 5 compatible web browser. Users can launch highly secure and completely emulated Windows RDP, SSH and Telnet sessions from within the browser with a single click, not requiring any access to passwords
Being HTML 5 compatible, users can launch Windows RDP and SSH sessions also from browsers in their tablet devices like iPad
Provision for authenticating both with the local accounts as well as domain accounts for the launched Windows RDP sessions
A new sub-tab named 'Auto Logon' has been introduced in Home Tab for easily locating the remote accounts and quickly launch one-click sessions

PMP Agents
Prior to 6400, some of the communication between PMP server and agents was initiated by the server, which required the agents to keep a TCP port open. To eliminate this risk and the need to manipulate firewall rules to allow traffic to a non-standard port on the agent side, the communication model is changed where the agents always initiate communication with the server. The agents periodically check for tasks by opening a secure connection with the server and no longer need to have a port open in the system they are installed.
