Symptoms

Two users cannot create policies at the same time.

Impact

Policy from one user can overwrite another's. Can also affect who can de-activate a policy.

Conditions

-- Two users with admin authority are logged onto the GUI. -- Both begin creating separate ASM policies with distinct options. For instance: - User 'wafadmin1' logs in first. - User 'wafadmin2' logs in second. - Both are creating policies. - When wafadmin2 submits the policy, it's being overwritten by policy details given by wafadmin1. - Only user wafadmin1 can de-activate a policy; for other users the option itself is grayed out.

Workaround

Have only one user at a time create/modify/delete policies.
