Issue: AD Bridge authentication to login to the Windows machine on a public cloud fails on the first day of the month.(Defect #489271)
Workaround: No Workaround.
Issue: The AD object picker for simple allow/deny lists in the GPEdit extension retrieves userPrincipalName (UPN) or name attributes for users and groups respectively and sends them to the sssd.conf file. The sssd.conf file in turn considers the User Logon Name (pre-Windows 2000) or sAMAccountName attribute to process the allow/deny list and not the User Logon Name (part of UPN attribute). Therefore, user login is denied when UPN and sAMAccountName are different and not identical.(Bug 1156115)
Workaround: Manually enter the User Logon Name (pre-Windows 2000) value or sAMAccountName attribute in the simple allow / deny list rule in the GPEdit extension to login successfully.
Issue: When you attempt to save a modified Universal Policy with Windows settings, the web console displays an error. (Bug 1158133)
Workaround: None.
Issue: Uninstallation of AD Bridge Gateway Also Removes All Configured Universal Policies. (Bug 1158317)
Workaround: Before you uninstall the AD Bridge Gateway, copy the C:\ProgramData\MicroFocus\AD Bridge\CCM folder to backup, and replace in the same location upon reinstallation of the AD Bridge Gateway.
Issue: When you open the Policies page and check out Linux universal policies, custom settings like custom firewall ports or custom service settings do not load on the Firefox browser. (Bug 1158315)
Workaround: Use Active Directory native tools to add or modify custom settings for Linux universal policies.
Resolved an issue where the Hapi Core Traversal Service in Windows Task Manager prevents you from uninstalling the Cloud Gateway. (399014)
