New Features

New Revealed Agent Parameter to Enable Auto-Login without Username/Password

We have added a new configuration parameter that can be used to enable auto-login without entering the username/password. This can be done either though the config file or the installation command.

Via the Config File:

You can add the revealed-passwordless parameter to the config.cfg file:

revealed-passwordless=1
router=10.55.55.58

Via the Installation Command:

You can use the TMREVEALEDPASSWORDLESS option with the installer. For example:

msiexec /i teramind_agent_v5.0.0_x64.msi TMREVEALEDPASSWORDLESS=1 TMROUTER=10.55.55.58


When enabled, the Agent will automatically log in without requiring the user to enter any username/password.

If the login fails, the user will see an error message but they will not be able to edit any of the username and password fields or change other options:

Please note the following:

  • Cloud customers have to contact their customer service representatives to activate this feature on their instances. On-Premise customers can add the revealed.allow_passwordless=1 value to the kv_store to activate the feature.

  • To use the feature, the router parameter (config file) or -TMROUTER (installation option) has to be set, as the user will not be able to select the Server option from the UI.

Improvements/Changes

Support for the New OneDrive APIs

Microsoft recently changed the PUT/POST APIs for OneDrive. This would cause the Agent not being able to capture any web uploads to OneDrive. As a result, these activities wouldn't be shown on the BI Reports > Web Events or the Monitoring > File Transfers reports.

For the same reason, Files rules using the Upload criterion like the one below wouldn't get triggered for OneDrive:

We have added support for the new APIs so that the web uploads to OneDrive will be captured and the Files rules triggered as expected.

Bug Fixes

Clipboard Rule would Cause Excel to Lose Formatting During Copy/Paste

Due to a bug, if you had any Clipboard-based Content Sharing rule active, it would cause Excel to lose any formatting (e.g., color, border, formula, etc.) when copying/pasting data. The data would be pasted as plain text:

The bug is fixed now.

Clipboard Rule would Cause Excel to Show a Warning when Pasting Data

Due to a bug, if you had any Clipboard-based Content Sharing rule active, and then you tried to copy/paste some data where the destination cells didn't match the selection cells, Excel would show a warning message, "The data you're pasting isn't the same size as your selection. Do you want to paste anyway?":

The bug is fixed now so that the warning will not be shown.

Disabling the Network Driver wouldn't Stop its Service Persistently

Due to a bug, if you disabled the NETWORK DRIVER option from the Monitoring Settings > Advanced screen, it would stop the Teramind Filter (tm_filter) service. However, when you restarted the computer, the service would start running again disregarding the monitoring setting:

The bug is fixed now.

Web Uploads to OneDrive would Generate Duplicate Events

Due to a bug, web uploads to OneDrive would be shown as duplicate events on reports like BI Reports > Web File Events and Monitoring > File Transfers:

The bug is fixed now.

Background App Captured Instead of Foreground App

Due to a bug, the Agent would capture events from background apps instead of foreground apps. As a result, app activities reported on the Dashboard would be incorrect:

In the example below, Microsoft Outlook has the focus (the foreground app) and Microsoft Edge is inactive (a background app) and has a tab open for the Bing page. The ONLINE EMPLOYEES widget would show www.bing.com as the active task instead of Outlook:

The bug is fixed now.

Unexpected Client Certificate Selection Popup Shown for Some Sites

Some sites support client certificates but they are not mandatory to load the site. However, due to a bug, the Agent would show the certificate selection popup window when visiting such a site even when it's not necessary:

The bug is fixed now.

Absent MS Teams Meeting Titles for Users who Initiated/Started the Meetings

Due to a bug, the Title column for MS Teams calendar meetings wouldn't display the meeting names on reports like the Monitoring > Online Meetings or BI Reports > Online Meetings if the user joined the meeting as a first participant:

The bug is fixed now.

Incorrect Meeting Durations for Microsoft Teams Meetings

Due to a bug, the Duration column for MS Teams meetings would show incorrect meeting durations that were greater than the real durations (e.g., >300 hours for meetings that ended within a day, 1 hour when the actual meeting was 10 minute, etc.) on the Monitoring > Online Meetings report:

The bug is fixed now.

Agent Reconnection Issue

Fixed Agent cyclic reconnection after update from Agent older than version 24.7 to newer than version 24.29.
