Issue/Introduction

After upgrading their  API Gateway (virtual appliance) from version 11.1 to 11.1.2. Following the reboot, all systems were functioning as expected.

However, today they encountered an issue where we were unable to log in using the Policy Manager. Restarting the ssg service temporarily resolved the problem and allowed them to log in again.

Unfortunately, the issue recurred after a certain period.

Upon further investigation, they observed that the login issue consistently reappears exactly 50 minutes after the service is restarted.

They have reviewed the logs and identified a relevant entry, which is highlighted in yellow in the log snippet below:

2025-05-14T07:47:18.184+0000 INFO    1 com.l7tech.server.processcontroller.o: default started successfully
