Opened: Sep 26, 2017 Severity: 4-Minor
The output of the b64 unit key hash is inconsistent upon each 'f5mku -f' command, whereas the hex version of the unit key hash was always correct/consistent.
Inconsistent output of the b64 unit key.
Viewing output of 'f5mku -f' command.
Adding the verbose option (v) to the f5mku command will print additional information. The following command prints the hex version of the unit key header hash, which will be stable and can be used to detect changes to the unit key: f5mku -vf For example: # f5mku -vf ... -- hdr.hash = c9:0d:13:2a:74:d4:7e:31:a4:78:5e:c8:3e:9c:b5:3d:7b:65:9c:7d ...
The unit key hash is now the correct length and is consistent upon each 'f5mku -f' command.
