Important Notes for This Release

Upgrade to 33 Only Supported from 32.x

Upgrade to this version is supported from the previous major release 32.x only! To upgrade from previous versions such as 31.x or 30.x, you must upgrade to 32.2 first, before you can upgrade to 33.

For more information about upgrading from older versions, see Upgrade from Older Releases.

After this release, we provide security and stability fixes for PrivX 33.x, 32.x, and 31.x. Older versions are not officially supported. We recommend you upgrade as soon as you can if you are running an unsupported version.

PrivX Documentation Moved to New Documentation Platform

The move is transparent for users. You may access the latest version of PrivX docs as usual at https://privx.docs.ssh.com

If you need to access older documentation versions, specify the version in the URL. For example, PrivX 29 at https://privx.docs.ssh.com/v29

privx-cmd and PrivX-Agent support for old platforms ended

privx-cmd and agents from this release may not support old platforms:

  • Windows 7, 8, Server 2008 and Server 2012.
  • MacOS versions 10.14 and older.

If you use agents or privx-cmd for enabling native-client connections, ensure that the users' OS is updated.

Deprecation Warnings

Redis Support Ending
Redis support will be ended in a future release. We recommend you change to PostgreSQL for PrivX microservice notifications. Please Change Notification Mechanism to PostgreSQL if your PrivX still uses Redis for notifications.

SHA-1-Certificate End of Support Imminent
Support for certificates signed with SHA-1 shall be dropped in future PrivX releases.

By default PrivX will not trust certificates with SHA-1 signatures unless they are self-signed. Re-enabling trust for such certificates requires setting the GODEBUG=x509sha1=1 environment variable for PrivX microservices and tools.

Practical attacks against SHA-1 have been demonstrated in 2017 and publicly trusted Certificate Authorities have not issued SHA-1 certificates since 2015.

CentOS/RHEL 7 support Ending

CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 will reach end of life on June 30, 2024. PrivX aims to end installation support for these platforms on the same timeline. Starting from PrivX 32, Rocky Linux 9 and RHEL 9 are officially supported. See Migrate from EOL Operating Systems.
