If multiple APM devices are in a trust, it is not possible to perform an incremental sync of SecurID configuration files between them. The sync will fail with an error like this: Sync error <target device name>: Load failed from <source device name> 01070712:3: Caught configuration exception (0), verify_sync_result:() :Failed to sync files. - sys/validation/FileObject.cpp.
Sync operations on these files will fail.
Any use of SecurID configuration files (tmsh section 'apm aaa securid <name> config-files') in a device group with 'full-load-on-sync false' (this is the default) will cause a sync failure.
Use full load syncs to resolve the sync failure. In the GUI, run a sync with the 'Overwrite Configuration' box checked. In tmsh, run 'modify cm device-group <name> devices modify { <current device name> { set-sync-leader } }'.
Incremental synch of configuration files now work regardless of the sync type and prevent error messages for load failures.
