Vault Release 18.5.0
Released on July 23, 2026
Overview
Web Vault version 18.5.0 focuses on improving visibility and access across the vault. The headline features are the new Connection Dock, which centralizes management of active and recent PAM sessions directly in the Vault UI, and PAM Configurations now appearing as native Vault records — bringing them into the same sharing and organization workflows you already use for standard records.
Beyond the new features, this release includes a broad set of improvements across security, stability, and platform health: quantum-resistant crypto for the transmission layer, new ARAM audit events, expanded RBI connection support, Nested Shared Folder access refinements, and a range of dependency updates and code quality improvements.
Connection Dock
The Keeper Vault now includes a Connection Dock that gives you visibility into your active and recently closed connections. From a single view, you can monitor connection status, relaunch recently closed sessions, or close active connections. Record details are also accessible directly from the log. The Connection Dock is located in the upper-right corner of the Vault, to the left of the notification bell. Use it to instantly switch between active sessions or quickly relaunch recently closed ones.
PAM Configurations Now Viewable as Vault Records
PAM Configurations are now accessible directly in the My Vault screen within your existing records list, giving them the full functionality of standard vault records — including sharing, organization, and management from a single, familiar interface.
