Hi All,

 

I have an issue with ASM, when I am trying to access Application security I am keep getting the following error "This request was unauthorized. The system detected a CSRF attack and the operation was aborted. Click Here to continue working on the system."

 

and below log from /var/log/asm

    Hi Tamer,

     

    Are you getting this error when accessing ASM directly or launching ASM configuration utility via enterprise manager? In the latter case, it is known bug with id 660049. In either case, I would recommend that you open a support case for this and provide asmqkview from the device.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Tikka

    Hi

     

    I had the same Problem today. After a while I realized that my root partition was full. After cleaning up the root partition the CSRF message in ASM disappeared too.
