# Syteca 7.17

> Release notes for Syteca version 7.17 — SIEM Client offline/online events, macOS application and URL filtering, Venn integration for macOS, secret auditing.

## 7.17.60 (Build 7.17.685)

### Improvements

* **Database structure optimized.** Data migration begins after the Application Server starts up. See [Update best practice](/docs/administration/deployment/update-syteca).

### Issues fixed

* **Windows Client sessions** — in certain cases after updating to 7.16.58, the Windows Client sessions recorded did not contain any screenshots or metadata when playing them in the Session Viewer.
* **Alert rules** — Command (Linux) alert rules were not triggered after switching from the root user to a regular user.
* **Password Management — AD remote password rotation logic changed.** Remote password rotation for Active Directory accounts has been changed to now use the account secret credentials instead of the LDAP target domain admin credentials. See [Remote password rotation](/docs/pam/secrets/remote-password-rotation).
* **Active Directory integration** — logging in to the Management Tool by an Active Directory user was slow in certain cases when using a manual LDAP target.
* **Active Directory integration** — LDAP targets could not be deleted unless all the Active Directory users in the corresponding domain were first deleted.
* **Database Management settings** — the connection to an archived database could not be established (as shown when clicking **Test Database Connection**) until the browser's cache was cleared, in certain cases when using MS SQL Server.
* **Scheduled reports** — "The process cannot access the file... because it is being used by another process" error was displayed when scheduled reports were generated.
* **Archived sessions** — archived sessions of deleted Clients did not contain any screen captures (and playing them also caused the user to be logged out of the Management Tool).
* **Additional message on login** — it was not possible to save a customized message text that contained newline (line break) characters in the **Enable displaying of additional message** field.

## 7.17.50 (Build 7.17.583)

### New features

* **Linux Clients — Wayland on Ubuntu 22.04.** Monitoring of Ubuntu 22.04 Client computers using a Wayland desktop environment is now supported.

## 7.17 (Build 7.17.506)

### New features

* **SIEM Integration — Client offline/online events.** A new checkbox is now available to allow adding events to the log file (forwarded to the SIEM system) about any Windows / macOS / Linux Client going offline or coming online. See [SIEM integration](/docs/administration/integrations/siem).
* **macOS Clients — application and URL filtering.** Application and URL filtering is now available for macOS Clients (similar way to Windows Clients).
* **Venn integration on macOS.** Syteca is now also integrated with the Venn app launcher for macOS Clients (similar way to Windows Clients), to monitor user activity only in applications opened in a Venn workspace on macOS Client computers.
* **Password Management — secret audit.** Secrets can now be audited by clicking the audit icon in the new **Audit** column, which opens the Audit log page filtered by information about all user actions performed with the secret. See [Audit log](/docs/administration/audit-log) and [View and manage secrets](/docs/pam/secrets/view-manage-secrets).

### Improvements

* **Dashboards** — the way productivity dashboards are generated and filtered has been made more convenient (and various other improvements have been made to the functionality). See [User Activity Dashboards](/docs/session-monitoring/dashboards/user-activity-dashboards).
* **Management Tool UI** — translations have been updated for the Polish (PL) language localization.
* **Windows Clients** — the compression algorithm for screen capture recording on Windows Client computers has been improved to save space.

### Issues fixed

* **Forensic Export** — the sessions could not be viewed on the Forensic Export History tab in cases when they were exported from the Client Sessions tab.
* **User filtering** — the "Monitor the activity of all users except" option did not work when domain groups were specified.
* **Linux Clients** — the Linux Client could not record commands after a command reached the output size limit in cases when the Client was functioning as a Jump Server.
* **Client groups** — the "Something went wrong" error occurred in certain cases when attempting to save the Client group settings.
* **macOS Clients** — in certain cases, macOS Clients could go offline after several days.
* **Blocking users** — endpoint users could not be blocked if the username contained Turkish characters.
* **Management Tool UI** — slow Management Tool performance in certain cases.
* **System updates** — the PostgreSQL database server was occasionally stopped when updating Syteca from version 6.61.342 to 7.7.62.
