SolarWinds Passportal – NEW Blink Reports

Posted on January 22, 2021 by meidsvik

Passportal is happy to announce that we have released two new reports into our Reports section directly tying into your Blink instances.

Blink User Status: Gives the partner a quick and easily filterable report regarding the setup status for all users they are setting up on Blink.

Blink Reset Request: Gives the partner a direct report into all Blink requests within a dedicated time period. Helps our partners determine the amount of incoming password reset tickets saved and provides value back to the client as the MSP is able to show how many resets are being processed.

SolarWinds RMM: Updated iOS and Raspberry Pi Support with Latest Mac and Linux Agents

Posted on January 5, 2021 by brianmackie

Apple Device Management Enhancements with Improved iPhone and iPad Support

We’re excited to announce that iPhones and iPads in RMM can now use RMM’s Apple Device Management system. The workflow of enrolling an iOS device into RMM is nearly identical to what you already know, with the addition that when the device is successfully enrolled, it now uses the same Mac Device Management back-end system that we released in last year.

The major benefit – besides having a robust and modern new infrastructure – is that iOS devices are no longer limited to the previously available policies. Instead, just like we announced for Mac in September, any custom configuration profile can be uploaded and then pushed to an enrolled iOS device.

SUPERNOVA UPDATE AND FAQ – DECEMBER 24, 2020

Posted on December 24, 2020 by Chris Reid

What is SUPERNOVA?

Over the last few days, you may have become aware of reported malware, now referred to as SUPERNOVA. Based on our investigation, this malware could be deployed through an exploitation of a vulnerability in the Orion Platform.

SolarWinds provided two hotfix updates on December 14 and 15, 2020 that contained security enhancements, including those designed to prevent certain versions of the Orion Platform products from being exploited in a SUPERNOVA attack.

The company also released similar updates for all other supported versions of the Orion Platform products and a fix for customers on unsupported versions of these products.

For more information on SUPERNOVA, please see our Security Advisory page at http://www.solarwinds.com/securityadvisory and our FAQ at www.solarwinds.com/securityadvisory/faq.

 Does this impact MSP?  

The vulnerability that can be exploited to deploy SUPERNOVA is in the Orion Platform products and does not impact the SolarWinds MSP products.

SolarWinds MSP operates separately as a wholly-owned subsidiary of our parent SolarWinds Corp. We have our own executive leadership team. We have different support, success, and sales teams and systems, and our R&D teams have their own leadership and separate repositories and build environments.
