Symptoms

Config sync failed with foreign key index (aaa_active_directory_server_FK) error after deleting AAA AD server with tmsh.

Impact

Sync failure.

Conditions

- Create AAA AD server with pool. - Delete AAA AD server created. - Run a config sync with 'Full Sync' enabled.

Workaround

You can use either of these workarounds: -- Use the GUI to delete AAA AD server. -- Use guishell command to delete the dangling aaa_active_directory_domain_controller object. To do so, follow this procedure: 1. guishell -c "delete from aaa_active_directory_domain_controller where aaa_active_directory_server_name='/Common/aaa-test-object'". 2. Perform the procedure from SOL13030: Forcing the mcpd process to reload the BIG-IP configuration, available here: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/000/sol13030.html.

Fix Information

Config sync with Full Sync enabled now succeeds after AAA AD server with pool is deleted.
