Symptoms

This release contains a feature called API Protection. API Protection access policies are hidden from the user interface in most areas except the log settings area.

Impact

If the API protection policy / profile is modified outside of API Protection GUI, the 'Apply Access Policy' may become activated with no way to deactivate it.

Conditions

Modifying API Protection access policy from Access :: Overview :: Event Logs :: Settings.

Workaround

Navigate to the API Protection area and modify any part of the API Protection profile. This causes it to re-deploy, at which time the system clears the 'Apply Access Policy' prompt.
