Symptoms
GUI reports an error, but the password can be changed successfully anyway:
An error has occurred while trying to process your request.
Impact
The BIG-IP system is unable to provide the following functionality:
1. Gossip Framework : REST high availability (HA) sync framework will not work.
2. Licensing via BIG-IQ
3. selfLinks will be wrong
4. iAppLx, SSL Orchestrator, Access Guided Configuration, AS3 will be affected as these modules depends on Gossip
Conditions
This issue is seen when an SSL port change happens, followed by password change for a given user.
Workaround
This issue is seen only when the SSL port is other than 443 (which is default SSL port).
To work around this, keep 443 as SSL port.
