New Features

Entra ID Discovery

We are excited to introduce Entra ID discovery in Delinea's Secret Server! This enhancement expands our current discovery feature by adding support for Microsoft's Entra ID, alongside our existing AWS and GCP discovery types.

With Entra ID discovery, Secret Server can now scan Microsoft Entra ID for roles and users, importing users as secrets based on the Entra ID User Account template. This completes the suite of features necessary for Secret Server to discover and manage accounts from Microsoft's Entra ID.

Bug Fixes, Changes, and Enhancements

Bug Fixes

Fixed “Secret Erase” translation in some non-English languages.

Fixed a bug where distributed engines ignored WinRM quota limits.

Fixed a bug with running disaster recovery data replication from an older source to a newer replica.

Fixed a UI issue with discovery Import where the button would not respond due to validation against hidden fields.

Fixed an issue during Platform group synchronization where groups with long names would cause an error.

Fixed an issue to restore configurability of secrets associated with custom launchers.

Fixed an issue where enabling QuantumLock on a secret threw the error “The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.”

Fixed an issue where stored data growth impacted proxy sessions. The secret session table is now managed and part of the supported tables of the data retention feature. Secret session records are now truncated in accordance with the existing data retention configuration. Please make sure to review your organization's Data Retention “Max Record Age” settings.

Fixed an issue where the “All time” filter on the inbox might not show all results.

Fixed an issue where users with MFA enabled would be incorrectly sent to the home page on login, instead of the page they were attempting to access.

Fixed incorrect access checks concerning reports.

Fixed incorrect Secret search totals when filtering by multiple templates.

Fixed issue where the “su -id” command was failing when the user did not have access to view the password for the secret they were elevating to.

Fixed issue where the maximum log Length was not used to truncate the tbSystemLog.

Fixed issue with “What folder permissions exist” report. Groups with no active users now properly included on the report

Fixed main navigation alignment issues.

Fixed ServiceNow allowed status validation over distributed engine.

Fixed the “view detail” link on the user detail panel.

Fixed The folder tree is now updated when unlimited admin mode is toggled.

Fixed timeouts for large amounts of data—paging for user audits is now done in the database.

Fixed: “Minimum Required Character Count Rules” on password requirements reverts when updating other things on password requirements.

Fixed: A user that did not have the “view launcher password” role permission was unable to create a secret that had a required password because the password field was hidden.

Fixed: About page links not working.

Fixed: Added null checks for username.

Fixed: Added support for Cisco devices when using a question mark after the command or partial command. This allows Cisco to work as normal, while not allowing the blocked commands.

Fixed: Addressed an issue where a launcher type field that was replicated via resilient secrets would not function with all prompt-able field names.

Fixed: Addressed one scenario where a backend process that publishes session information would error.

Fixed: Adjusted secret overview tab to not use a banner for heartbeat failed.

Fixed: Adjusted Secret tab pending password change status to be a chip instead of a banner.

Fixed: Audit handler was missing the “View Configuration Unlimited Admin” permission as an option.

Fixed: Authentication errors are now 401s for API requests and in Platform.

Fixed: Broken “view detail” link on the user detail panel.

Fixed: Creating an access request with custom dates/times displayed an incorrect warning or had incorrect dates/times when approved.

Fixed: Customers who had Easy Move to Platform had duplicate groups created in Secret Server and the existing permissions from the original Secret Server group were not honored. It now disables this new duplicate group and connects the original group to the Platform group as originally expected.

Fixed: Discovery runtime summary information is now correctly accessible for screen readers.

Fixed: Distributed engine now respects the MaxShellsPerUser setting for PowerShell tasks. If the setting is set, engine will throttle tasks that leverage PowerShell and requeue messages that are over quota.

Fixed: During forwarding of inventory data from discovery in Secret Server to Platform inventory, with large amounts of computers, the processes could time out. Made the database calls more efficient and the process no longer times out.

Fixed: Extended the Migration Center to migrate all active roles.

Fixed: Folder path now shows when specified in secret import preview.

Fixed: Heartbeat listed as “pending” when the heartbeat is actually disabled. This occurred when the pending status did not resolve before the secret was disabled.

Fixed: Improved compatibility with Windows high contrast mode.

Fixed: In some scenarios only the first 30 subfolders were loaded on initial load for a single folder.

Fixed: Left navigation expand/collapse toggle incorrectly labeled for screen readers.

Fixed: Login SSH key menu showing properly in cloud when configured.

Fixed: Mobile logo now displaying properly.

Fixed: Most KB links now point to docs.delinea.com instead of delinea.center for redirects to the documentation article.

Fixed: Resolved an issue that caused SAML logins to fail, resulting in a rollback of the previous update.

Fixed: Resolved an issue where approvals that cross a day threshold from UTC could not be requested.

Fixed: Resolved secret permission issue when many user and groups had been selected and only the 60 were saved when edited again. Resolved for teams selection as well.

Fixed: Searching in all secrets now shows the full folder path for folder search results.

Fixed: Secret Key rotation failed with the error “Thycotic.AppCore.Cryptography.MacMismatchException: Exception of type 'Thycotic.AppCore.Cryptography.MacMismatchException' was thrown.”

Fixed: Secret password compliance is now calculated when a password is updated to empty and the password is not required. Prior to this, the secret would maintain the compliance flag that was calculated when the password had a value. A password with some characters might fail compliance, but if there is no password and it is not required, then it is compliant.

Fixed: ServiceNow integration could fail with a misleading error due to a space in the domain name.

Fixed: Site name now wraps instead of truncating on the “sites and engines” page so you can read the whole site name.

Fixed: SQL report editor is now properly announced for accessibility.
