  • Updated

V5.2.6.0 - November 26th 2024

Bug Fixes

1. We have fixed a bug that was causing new MSA accounts to be created with agent updates.
2. We have resolved the issue that caused the incorrect Agent role to be identified using the command line switches.

 

All versions - November 21st 2024

Bug Fixes

We have resolved a bug affecting CyberQP customers. Previously, if the Active Directory (AD) password settings did not meet the minimum policy requirements for Azure and a password reset was attempted for a password sync-enabled end-user account via the reset link sent through SMS or email, the screen did not display the message "Password Reset Blocked." As a result, the password reset would succeed on AD but fail for Office 365.

 

V5.2.3.0 - November 11th 2024

Bug Fixes

We have fixed the bug that caused local account import to fail due to orphaned SIDs in security groups.

Added code to prepare for the capability to assign a JIT account to multiple security groups as specified in the JIT policy. This improvement ensures that the agent can handle assigning accounts to various security groups more efficiently.

If the account is unlocked via the Self Serve Password Reset Mobile App, or through Active Directory Console/PowerShell commands, the dashboard will also update to show the correct status. (Note: a natural unlock from AD caused by your password policy will not update CyberQP at this time. We have logged this issue internally for further investigation in the future)

Bug Fixes

Identified and resolved an issue causing disruptions in communications between the local agent and CyberQP.

Optimized the agent to reduce the number of notifications and the amount of data sent to CyberQP. (from the agent's local database to CyberQP)
