Bug ID 1143769: Updating LDAP configuration on Auth Settings screen on the webUI having no TLS key updates it to empty string.

Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Affected Product(s):
F5OS Velos(all modules)

Fixed In:
F5OS-C 1.6.0, F5OS-A 1.3.0

Opened: Aug 26, 2022

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When the LDAP configuration on Auth Settings is updated via the webUI, with TLS key not previously configured, it is updated to be an empty string. This is resulting in empty string encryption.

Impact

TLS key is set to empty string and is encrypted.

Conditions

Add/Modify LDAP configuration on Auth Settings screen.

Workaround

One of the following: -- Use the F5OS CLI to modify authentication settings, rather than using the webUI. -- Use the webUI to edit authentication settings only when the TLS key is already configured, meaning, there is an encrypted value already present in TLS key field.

Fix Information

Updating LDAP configuration when the TLS key is not configured will not create a TLS key with empty string.
