# Keeper Gateway v1.2.1

## Improvements & Bug Fixes

* **Local Connections Settings are now cached**
  * Better management of connection details (shell path, shell type, sudo password requirements, etc.) to better associate PAM records and its associated gateways
* **Optimization & necessary refactoring of code to reduce API calls** 
* **General Improvements** 
  * Escaped the '{' character for macOS 'su' expect script due to it being a special character in expect.
  * Added 'echo' before getting the user list in macOS to avoid output pre-pending issues.
  * Fixed finding Linux shell if the SHELL environment variable is not set.
  * Changed Azure integration tests to provision Python in the Azure Instance Extension.
  * Addressed issues in Azure tests related to creating AD users via the provisioning script. AD Admin doesn't have privileges on the local machine to change local user passwords.
  * Resolved a problem where the Linux subprocess didn't like the 'type' command, now attempts 'which' first and then 'type'.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.keeper.io/release-notes/enterprise/keeper-gateway/older/keeper-gateway-v1.2.1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
