Frequently Asked Questions
This Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section provides answers to the most commonly asked questions for Desktop Password Reset.
Why should I download latest CEF sharp libraries?
SailPoint's Desktop Password Reset (DPR) leverages the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) to power its Restricted Browser functionality. The CEF project regularly releases patches and updates to address performance issues and mitigate security vulnerabilities. To ensure the highest level of security for your environment, SailPoint provides a built-in option to update the version of CEF used by DPR. SailPoint strongly recommends that you apply these updates as soon as they are released to protect against potential threats.
What are the steps to install latest CEF sharp libraries?
For information on installing the latest CEF sharp libraries, refer to Managing Chromium Embedded Framework Updates.
Which specific version should I install?
SailPoint recommends that you update DPR with the latest available version of CEF. This ensures access to the newest features, performance improvements, and security updates.
For more detailed guidance, including version compatibility and update instructions, refer to Desktop Password Reset Third-Party Framework Updates.
Can we install CEF version which is older than current installed CEF version.
The Desktop Password Reset (DPR) application is bundled with the latest version of the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) available at the time of each release. While DPR is designed for forward compatibility and fully supports updates to newer CEF versions, it does not support downgrades to versions older than the one it was originally packaged with. You should only use the bundled CEF version or upgrade to newer releases as they are released.
Will the DPR stop working if I don't install the latest CEF version?
No, the DPR will continue to function normally. However, SailPoint recommends that you update the DPR with the latest CEF version for optimal performance and compatibility.
Can I skip intermediate versions and install the latest available CEF version directly?
Yes, you can skip intermediate versions and install the latest CEF version directly.
How does SailPoint ensure that newly downloaded CefSharp libraries are compatible with the current version of the Desktop Password Reset (DPR) tool?
SailPoint's Desktop Password Reset (DPR) tool has a built-in validation process. After new CefSharp (Chromium Embedded Framework) libraries are downloaded, DPR automatically performs a compatibility check against the current DPR version.
If you receive an error during this process, it indicates that the compatibility check has failed. If this happens, contact SailPoint Support.
