Endpoint Privilege Management for Mac 21.6 Release Notes

November 4, 2021

New Features and Enhancements:

  • Changed the hash values which we report in audits to SHA-1 hash values so that they are able to be consumed by reputation services like VirusTotal.
  • Changed the location of the PMC activation certificate so that only the PMCAdapter can access it. This prevents web browsers from attempting to use the incorrect certificate when accessing the PMC website.
  • Changed the hash values which we report in audits to SHA-1 hash values so that they are able to be consumed by reputation services like GTI Integration.
  • Added the ability for Password Safe Cloud to be used with any of our management platforms for a Mac endpoint.
  • Sudo security enhancements.

Issues Resolved:

  • Resolved issue in which macOS 12 beta 4 installers failed due to lack of authorization.
  • Resolved issue in which third-party plugin could not be removed from the System Preferences on macOS.
  • Resolved error that occurred when installing Remote Desktop Manager.
  • Resolved a publisher matching issue that occurred when Exact Match was used.

Known Issues:

  • Unable to upgrade to Monterey on M1 devices as standard users with a valid policy in place. For a workaround, please see knowledge base article KB0016493 in the BeyondTrustclient portal at https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm. A username and password are required to access the client portal.
