Symptoms

Users fail the access policy check after failover happens. The command 'configdump -allkeys' does not display any entry for the access profile.

Impact

Users cannot log on

Conditions

The issue will show up after the following events: 1. The TMM on the active node restarts or crashes, the node become standby. 2. TMM and APD restart. APD re-creates config snapshots in the SessionDB. 3. The snapshots just created get deleted. 4. Failover happens again and the node becomes active. 5. Users fail to log on

Workaround

Run 'bigstart restart apd' to re-create config snapshots.

Fix Information

APM checks config snapshots periodically and recreates them if any are missing.
