Password change in SSLVPN client not retained while upgrading NSX Manager and Edge

Products

• VMware NSX Data Center for vSphere

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
While upgrading NSX Manager and Edge from NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.1 and earlier versions to 6.4.2 and later versions, you experience this symptom:

Password change in the SSLVPN Client done on 6.4.1 and earlier versions is not retained.

Environment

VMware NSX for vSphere 6.3.x
VMware NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.x

Cause

This issue occurs due to the change in the mode of communication between the NSX Manager and Edge introduced in version 6.4.2.

Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VMware NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.1 and earlier versions.

Currently, there is no resolution.

Workaround:
To work around this issue, fire an API call manually for 6.4.1 before making any changes.

For example:

GET https://NSXMGR_IP/api/4.0/edges/<edge-id>/healthsummary

Notes:

• After firing the healthsummary API, you need to upgrade both the NSX Manager and Edge together. 
• This is only applicable to NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.1.
• The API should sync up the changes made on the SSLVPN Client to the NSX Manager.
• The API is not applicable for NSX-v 6.3.x as it is not available on this version.
