The following is a list of features that are no longer supported starting with SPS 6.0.10.

Caution:
Physical SPS appliances based on Pyramid hardware are not supported in 5 F1 and later releases. Do not upgrade to 5 F1 or later on a Pyramid-based hardware. The last supported release for this hardware is 5 LTS, which is a long-term supported release. If you have purchased SPS before August, 2014 and have not received a replacement hardware since then, you have Pyramid hardware, so do not upgrade to SPS 5 F1 or later. If you have purchased SPS after August 2014, you can upgrade to 5 F1. If you do not know the type of your hardware or when it was purchased, complete the following steps:

Support for the Lieberman ERPM credential store has been deprecated, this feature will be removed from the upcoming One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) 6 LTS release. One Identity recommends to use Safeguard for Privileged Passwords instead. For details, contact our Sales Team.
SSLv3 encryption is not supported in SPS version 5.10 and later. This has the following effects:
You cannot configure SPS if your browser does not support at least TLSv1.
If you are auditing HTTP, Telnet or VNC sessions that use TLS encryption, the client- and server applications must support at least TLSv1.
Support for X.509 host certificates is deprecated. This feature will be removed from SPS version 6 LTS (6.0). One Identity recommends using public keys instead.
Support for DSA keys is deprecated. This feature will be removed from SPS version 6 LTS (6.0). One Identity recommends using RSA keys instead.
Following the upgrade, support for less than 1024-bit SSH keys is lost.
You can now use an Authentication Policy with GSSAPI and a Usermapping Policy in SSH connections. When an SSH Connection Policy uses an Authentication Policy with GSSAPI, and a Usermapping Policy, then SPS stores the user principal as the Gateway username, and the username used on the target as the Server username.
Note that this change has the following side effect: when using an Authentication Policy with GSSAPI, earlier versions of SPS used the client-username@REALM username to authenticate on the target server. Starting with version 5.9.0, it uses the client-username as username. Configure your servers accordingly, or configure a Usermapping Policy for your SSH connections in SPS.
The Basic Settings > Local Services > Required minimum version of encryption protocol option has been removed. This option governed the encryption protocol required to access the SPS web interface.
Regardless of the TLS version you configured previously, SPS will uniformly use TLS version 1.2.
This change might have the effect that using old (likely unsupported) browsers, it will not be possible to access the web interface of SPS.
The RPC API is deprecated as of SPS 5 F7 and will be removed in an upcoming feature release. One Identity recommends using the REST API instead.
It is no longer possible to search for screen contents indexed by the old Audit Player on the new search UI and the REST interface. Searching in session metadata (such as IP addresses and usernames) and in extracted events (such as executed commands and window titles that appeared on the screen) remains possible.
As the old Audit Player was replaced and deprecated as an indexing tool during the 4.x versions, this should only affect very old sessions. Sessions that were processed by the new indexing service will work perfectly. If you wish to do screen content searches in historical sessions, contact our Support Team.
The following is a list of issues addressed in this release.
Resolved Issue | Issue ID |
---|---|
RDP connection setup is unreliable with long user names Initiating Remote Desktop connections with user names longer than 128 characters were unreliable: the client either connected without issues or showed an error dialog right after trying to start the connection. Sessions initiated from Safeguard for Privileged Passwords use long user names and were affected. The issue with the Remote Desktop Protocol implementation has been fixed and the connection setup is reliable now with long user names as well. |
PAM-14281 |
Downloading a certificate or key in DER format could provide an unparsable file for some certificates and keys When a certificate or key was downloaded from the Web interface in DER format and the resulting binary blob ended with bytes that could be interpreted as ASCII whitespace or NULL (0x00, 0x09, 0x0a, 0x0b, 0x0d, 0x20), then those bytes were truncated, resulting in an invalid file. This has been fixed. |
PAM-14227 |
The missing host key for "scb-other" has been added to the configuration to prevent the administrator from having to manually verify host keys when navigating between HA nodes When the administrator attempted to log in to the HA pair from an SPS node, the host key verification was up to the administrator. This was caused by the missing key value for the "scb-other" hostname. However, it worked correctly when the IP addresses, or the "scb1", or the "scb2" hostnames were used specifically. This fix makes the login easier and more convenient by allowing to use the "scb-other" hostname, regardless of the current node allocation. The "scb-other" hostname can be used to SSH from any of the nodes because the related host key is already known by the origin SSH client. |
PAM-13773 |
The fix prevents some unwanted exceptions to be present in the logs, previously, rarely caused by unavailable internal services during SNMP-related email sending Rarely, it can happen that the SNMP traps are sent before the whole system completely boots up. In these cases, if the system is configured to send SNMP traps in email, it could happen that the business logic attempted to connect to an internal service responsible for email sending before it was started and waiting for emails to deliver. The change prepares the sending part for these cases and ensures that email sending, even in these corner cases, is more reliable. |
PAM-13541 |
SWAP monitoring could send false alarms through email and/or SNMP for appliances where no SWAP was configured for the appliance, mostly effecting virtual machine-based SPS appliances Due to an upstream bug, it happened rarely that the SNMP monitoring sent out false alarms each time the appliance was restarted or the monitoring-related configuration was changed. This only happened when the SWAP available on the system was 0 bytes (SWAP was disabled) and where that value was compared to the available amount. The upstream issue related to the comparison of these values and that caused the alert to be sent out also if these values were equal, and not only when the available SWAP was below the configured threshold. |
PAM-13156 |
Possible RDP connection failure when a TLS certificate with an RSA key greater than 2048 bits is configured When "Use the same certificate for each connection" was configured for an RDP connection policy with TLS enabled, and the uploaded RSA private key was greater than 2048 bits, an error could occur in the licensing protocol, and cause the client to terminate the connection. This has been fixed, licensing no longer depends on the TLS certificate. |
PAM-12751 |
Pipeline exceptions issue In case of an error, the pipeline restarted indefinitely. This has been fixed and now the pipeline will move to a failed state after 2 hours of trying. This way, the error will be visible, and can be addressed. Also, reloading the pipeline is now working properly. |
PAM-12528 |
Preventing OOM killer from force-stopping Elasticsearch in a low memory scenario It was necessary to prevent OOM killer from force-stopping Elasticsearch in a low memory scenario, because if Elasticsearch was force-stopped, it could cause translog corruption. |
PAM-12510 |
Event processing error Some special mouse buttons were not handled correctly by the analytics pipeline, which has now been fixed. |
PAM-12276 |
If the disk was full, the queuing system on SPS could not start If the disk was full, the queuing system on SPS could not start, and traffic could not go through it. This issue has been solved by having a safety margin on the disk, to prevent the disk from being fully written. |
PAM-11253 |
