Bug Details

Priority: 4-Minor
Status: Not Verified
Impact Category: Policy Enforcement Manager

Description

Symptoms

Transactional HTTP flows will be classified only on the first transaction.

Impact

PEM actions that differ between transactions for a flow will not take effect. Instead, the flow adheres to the PEM actions against the first transaction.

Conditions

Virtual server with a PEM profile, classification profile, no HTTP profile, and transactional PEM policy.

Workaround

Add an HTTP profile to the virtual server if transactional flows need to be evaluated for each transaction.
