Bug ID 2489085: Fix For encrypted UCS archive failing from UI

Last Modified: Sep 01, 2026

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP Install/Upgrade(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
17.1.3.4

Opened: Aug 28, 2026

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

There are unexpected warning messages that appear in the logs during package creation and UCS backup operations when these tasks are performed through the user interface. GPG-related errors or warnings may arise when saving UCS files via the UI if the GPG home directory environment variables are not properly initialized. These issues do not occur when the operations are conducted using the tmsh command-line interface

Impact

- Reduces unnecessary warning messages to enhance log clarity and improve system visibility - Ensures consistent GPG configuration across all cryptographic operations - Improves reliability of signature verification and encryption/decryption operations

Conditions

Occurs during UCS backup or save operations initiated through the web UI. It is more likely to happen in fresh sessions or after a system restart, before tmsh commands have been executed. This issue does not affect operations performed directly through tmsh

Workaround

Before the fix, using tmsh save caused issues. Now, the UI works fine without any workaround required after the fix

Fix Information

None
