Last Modified: Oct 16, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP APM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
13.0.0, 13.0.0 HF1, 13.0.0 HF2, 13.0.0 HF3, 13.1.0, 13.1.0.1, 13.1.0.2, 13.1.0.3

Fixed In:
14.0.0, 13.1.0.4, 13.0.1

Opened: Nov 22, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Cannot see the custom URL Filter object that is created either through TMSH/GUI. If the filter object is referred in an Access Policy, the policy fails to load when running the command: load sys config. The system logs errors similar to the following: 01070712:3: Values (/Common/custurlfilter) specified for URL Filter Lookup Agent (/Common/prp_act_url_filter_lookup_ag): foreign key index (name_FK) do not point at an item that exists in the database. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.

Impact

The access policy fails to load if it refers the URL Filter object. Running the 'load sys config' command in TMSH removes the filter.

Conditions

-- Configure custom URL Filter object -- SWG is not provisioned.

Workaround

You can use either of the following workarounds: -- Provision SWG, and recreate the URL Filter. -- Edit bigip.conf to include the URL Filter object.

Fix Information

Now during 'load sys config', custom URL filters get saved properly.
