Auto Login Issue with Cisco/Windows Remote/F5

Products

Issue/Introduction

Due to a defect detected in some versions of PAM, most applications will fail to retrieve the password, resulting in not being able to autologin to devices or to view credentials

All of a sudden I cannot autologin to CISCO, web portal applications and Windows remote. This used to work before. Besides that, when I try to view the password for several accounts, using different applications, the passwords show up as blank.

What is happenning and how can I solve it ?

Environment
