Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Tmsh man page for form-fields attribute in AAA HTTP form based configuration does not clearly describe how to input the value. The same is true for APM SSO HTTP configuration as well.

Impact

Configuring form-fields attribute in apm aaa http is confusing and http authentication fails due to wrong configuration.

Conditions

Update form-fields attribute in apm aaa http configuration.

Workaround

Correct apm aaa http configuration from tmsh

Fix Information

The tmsh man page for apm aaa http is updated to reflect the correct configuration. 1. Data expected is in name value format with a <space> to separate name and value. 2. A new line must be used to separate next parameter. 3. A value is not mandatory. A name configured without a value is acceptable. For example: name value2 name value3 name name value4
