The system reports an error message when trying to navigate to 'Security :: Policies' under virtual server properties: An error has occurred while trying to process your request.
-- No policies appear. You cannot perform any operations on the 'Security :: Policies' screen. -- The following error message appears instead: An error has occurred while trying to process your request.
-- An FTP or SMTP profile with protocol security enabled is attached to a virtual server. -- Attempt to navigate to 'Security :: Policies'.
As long as an FTP or SMTP profile with protocol security enabled is defined under virtual server properties (in another words, it is attached to a virtual server), this issue recurs. There are no true workarounds, but you can avoid the issue by using any of the following: -- Use another profile, such as HTTP. -- Set the FTP/SMTP profile under the virtual server settings to None. -- Remove the profile via the GUI or the CLI (e.g., you can remove the profile from the virtual server in tmsh using this command: tmsh modify ltm virtual /Common/test-vs { profiles delete { ftp_security } }
You can now attach FTP or SMTP profile with protocol security enabled and navigate to 'Security :: Policies' without error.
