User Experience Customization

Improvements:

- Direct Client Launch: Access machines via MSTSC or Remmina using machine-specific, downloadable
.rdp files.
- Bi-directional Clipboard Sync: Synchronize clipboards seamlessly between the browser and remote sessions (RDP/WebApps) using intuitive UI controls.
Database & Endpoint Security
- Granular Command Blocking: New security controls for MSSQL (Web & GUI) and Oracle (Web) to block high-risk commands.
- Database GUI: Added support for native GUI based database(MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL) access on the web.
- Endpoint PAM Enhancements: Finer-grained controls and usability options for endpoint-level privileged access.
Performance & Reporting
- API Performance (Unlimited File Size): Removed file size restrictions for SFTP and SMB operations conducted via APIs.
- Audit Traceability: Added an Action Change Field to audit reports for enhanced compliance tracking.
- Reporting UI: Improved the usability and consistency of the Scheduled Reports workflow.
Certificate Manager
- Centralized Certificate Lifecycle Management: Provides centralized SSL/TLS certificate management with secure storage of certificates and private keys, continuous monitoring, expiry alerts, and multi-format certificate downloads.
- Advanced CSR & Key Management: Enables generation, storage, reuse, and download of CSRs and private keys with full control over cryptographic parameters (RSA/ECC, key size, SANs, passphrases), including reusable CSR templates for standardization.
- Integrated Certificate Issuance with Trusted CAs: Supports self-signed certificates and CA-signed certificates via integrations with providers like Let’s Encrypt and GoDaddy, securely managing CA credentials, tracking issuance status, and automatically storing issued certificates.
Bug Fixes & Validations:
Security Validations
