Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where "Close launcher on check in" on the replication source would prevent sessions from being launched on the replica.
  • Fixed an issue where a secret template could be saved without RPC mappings configured.
  • Fixed an issue where all event subscriptions did not fire for secrets in subfolders of the target folder.
  • Fixed an issue where discovery import would incorrectly assign a secret as an associated account, as opposed to a privileged account.
  • Fixed an issue where existence of secrets set to expire over a hundred years in the future would cause expiration reports and event subscriptions to stop triggering.
  • Fixed an issue where heartbeat and RPC log downloads would save without an extension. Now correctly saves with a .csv extension.
  • Fixed an issue where launching secrets with URL List and session recording enabled displayed a "Bad Request" message.
  • Fixed an issue where OpenID Connect or SAML accounts could not export secrets as they did not have a password and were not licensed for doublelock. DoubleLock is now available in professional licenses.
  • Fixed an issue where the API endpoint api/v1/secrets/{id}/fields/{slug}/ logged an audit that the password was displayed when the actual password was not returned to the user due to "hide launcher password" being enabled. This could happen from some UI actions.
  • Fixed an issue where the Edit button for User Management => Groups appeared when you did not have "Administer Role Assignment" permission. The action was denied in the API, so this was a cosmetic change.
  • Fixed an issue where the folder audit page would unexpectedly show an access denied message.
  • Fixed an issue where the folder permissions tab would load slowly with large numbers of users.
  • Fixed an issue where the German localization for "Password Should Exclude" was incorrect.
  • Fixed an issue where the new Discovery Network View UI would display a license error in the Professional Edition.
  • Fixed an issue where the secret name would incorrectly display on the the New Discovery Import Rules page.
  • Fixed an issue where the SubscriptionName condition for a notification rule would display the event subscription ID instead. It now correctly uses the name when the user has the appropriate roles to list the subscriptions.
  • Fixed an issue where TOTP Secret Settings edit button was available to users who could not edit the settings.
  • Fixed an issue where unplayable session recording videos would display an infinite load instead of the appropriate error.
  • Fixed an issue with negative numbers exporting incorrectly when exporting to a CSV file.
  • Fixed an issue with pinning a folder returned a "Folder not Found" error.
  • Fixed an issue with secret search producing SQL errors for customers with a lot of secret templates.
  • Fixed an issue where the SSH Proxy would stop processing new incoming connections.
  • Fixed conditions that prevented users from being removed from a group due to the system incorrectly identifying that they would be unable to complete the same operation.
  • Fixed issues with user and group syncing between Secret Server Cloud and the Delinea Platform.
  • Fixed the TemplateCreateSecret role link.
  • Updated links on the Security Hardening Report to new UI pages.
