Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ ADC
Known Affected Versions:
5.4.0
Opened: Feb 21, 2018 Severity: 4-Minor
BIG-IP UI added line-feed (CR-LF) to the content type so it breaks into multiple lines.
Discovery might fail since the string cannot be parsed correctly.
A property string is more than 256 characters with CR/LN inside the string.
We can get around it without losing any functionality, by using tmsh to add content instead of the BIG-IP user interface. The following is a good example how we handle such case. Keep in mind this is one tmsh command so it musy be in one line.
