Symptoms

The online help and Configuration Guide for BIG-IP Access Policy Manager state the session variable names for the Machine Info action incorrectly, as session.machine_info.<attribute>. The correct session variable names are session.windows_machine_info.<attribute>.

Impact

Users who write expressions can use the incorrect session variables and write expressions that do not work.

Conditions

Online help states the session variable names incorrectly in BIG-IP APM 11.1.0, 11.2.0, 11.2.1, 11.3.0, and 11.4.0. (Note: in 11.4.0, the Machine Info action is called the Windows Machine Info action instead.) The configuration guides for those versions also state the session variable names incorrectly.

Workaround

Use session variables named session.windows_machine_info.<attribute>.

Fix Information
