Secret Server Release Notes 10.1.x

Release Notes 10.1.000023

Release Date: 2/22/2017

Enhancements

  • Added additional actions to user audit for when 2-factor is changed on the user.
  • Added status icon to the Heartbeat field on Secrets. Going forward new Heartbeat and Password Change errors can be viewed in a Secret's audit log for quicker diagnosis and reporting. Note that these error messages are not backfilled so only new errors will show in the log going forward.
  • Added support for multiple domain controller IP addresses in the domain field of an Active Directory Secret for cases when the domain name isn't resolvable for heartbeat and password changing.
  • Updated behavior in the SOAP API for disabling Check Out on Secrets that are currently checked out to match bulk operations behavior. A Secret Owner can now call SetCheckOutEnabled to turn off check out on a currently checked out Secret.
  • Added a new role permission for creating application user accounts.
  • The SSH Proxy now restricts the default cipher suite for incoming connections.
  • SOAP API – Added new method for GetReport to get report data via the API

  • REST API: Fixed permission check issues in the REST API where editing a Secret with check out enabled was improperly allowed.
