Integration with TAP fails if the tap device is already created
In tomcat (catalina log)
2022-04-04T14:09:00.468+0000 SEVERE [TP7] com.ca.pam.rest.BAPConfigService.saveBAPConfig Call to Gatekeeper service controller failed: java.lang.NullPointerException
I had created Device for TAP to have WEB UI access. However, it seems our integration does not like if the device already exists.
After I deleted device ,integration went fine.
So, to reproduce issue.
Create device, which has same IP/FQDN as TAP.
Follow the steps to integrate PAM and TAP, you will get same error.
Can this be a bug ?
Release : 2.2.3
Component :
This is not a bug. This is working as designed.
PAM has a special device for TAP integration (tap.ca.com) that gets the address of the Thread Analytics device assigned once you configure TA.
There must not be another device using the same address. PAM has a built-in access method for TAP and makes that available to PAM administrators.
