Bug ID 893977: BIG-IQ does not properly export to XML ASM Response Page Login Page default values

Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ Web App Security (ASM)(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
6.1.0, 7.0.0, 7.0.0.1, 7.0.0.2

Opened: Mar 30, 2020

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When the BIG-IQ exports an ASM Security Policy to XML, the Response Page: Login Page response is not properly included when set to default value (Default Response).

Impact

Response Page: Login Page response information (header and body) are missing from XML. Importing XML into BIG-IP will result in incomplete information for Response Page: Login Page. Note that when BIG-IQ Deploys new policies to BIG-IPs it will export the ASM Security Policy as XML and then import it into the BIG-IP, triggering this issue if the Response Page: Login Page response value is default. This process is an internal process that occurs when a new policy, with default values, is introduced to a BIG-IP via BIG-IQ.

Conditions

1. ASM Security Policy in BIG-IQ has Response Page: Login Page response set to default value (Default Response). 2. Export ASM Security Policy as XML.

Workaround

Ensure that ASM Security Policies on BIG-IQ have a Custom Response (instead of Default Response) in the Response Page: Login Page. This Custom Response can contain the exact same headers and body found in the Default Response and do not need to be altered.

Fix Information

None
