Opened: Feb 06, 2019

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

In TMSH, 'none' is a special keyword for attributes of type string that is interpreted as an empty value. However, in the APM user interface, if you type 'none' for any field expecting a string value, it is not considered empty.

Impact

The configuration does not operate as expected.

Conditions

Occurs when typing 'none' as a string value throughout the APM GUI.

Workaround

Leave fields blank if you want them to be empty in the APM GUI. Do not use 'none' to mean 'empty' for any field requiring a string in the APM GUI.

Fix Information

None
