Subject:  General Availability Announcement for Symantec Privileged Access Manager v4.1.7

 

On behalf of Broadcom, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide you with high-quality, innovative software and services.  As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly release updated versions of our products. Today, we are pleased to announce that Symantec Privileged Access Manager v4.1.7 is now available. 

 

New features for Symantec Privileged Access Manager v4.1.7 include: 

Windows SSH Password and SSH Key Target Connectors
This release provides two new SSH-based target connectors that provide secure solutions for managing local privileged credentials on supported SSH-enabled Windows systems:
  • Windows SSH Key target connector
  • Windows SSH Password target connector
    PAM UI Dark Mode
    This release introduces an application color scheme setting that allows you to configure the PAM UI to be displayed using a new Dark mode instead of the existing Light mode (which is still the default). The application color scheme is configured as a Global setting, but can be overridden by local account settings after a user logs in.
     
    New External API Methods for Managing Credential Manager Credential Groups and Obtaining Credential Manager Roles
    Managing Credential Manager credential groups: In previous releases, you could only manage Credential Manager credential groups using the CLI interface. This release adds REST methods that allow you to do the same operations using the External REST API. 
     
    Obtaining Credential Manager Roles: In previous releases, you could only get Credential Manager roles using the CLI interface. This release adds a REST method that allows you to get roles using the External REST API. 
     
    PAM Client Control-F Search Support
    Previously, you could use the industry-standard Control-F keyboard shortcut to search PAM browser-based pages when accessing the PAM UI from a browser but not from the PAM Client. Examples of searchable pages include PAM reports, the Web Portal, the SAML IdP login page, and the Threat Analytics Console.  This release adds the same search functionality to the PAM Client. That is, when using the PAM client you can now use the Control-F keyboard shortcut to search the same pages as you can when accessing the PAM UI from a browser.
     
    Support for Sending Cluster Status and Network Storage Emails Over a Secure TLS Connection
    PAM has provided the option use TLS to secure the connection to the SMTP server configured for Credential Manager-related email messages (on the Configuration, Email Settings panel) since release 3.4.5. However, Cluster Status and Network Storage Status emails continued to be sent using the SMTP server configured on the Configuration, Monitor (Legacy) panel, which did not support a TLS connection.  In release 4.1.7, PAM uses the SMTP server that is configured to send Credential Manager-related email (which does support TLS) to also send Cluster Status and Network Storage Status emails.
