API key too long

ClintL — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 20:06:13 GMT

Hello all,

I am using the guide below to clear out UDP sessions after a PBF failover. When I get to the part about the key parameter under Payload Format, it says the value is too long. I am copying the exact key I generated from the web browser. The key generated is 132 characters, but it says the max length is only 128 characters. The firewall is running 9.0.14-h4. Am I missing something?

Hi @ClintL ,

I think you'll need to upgrade. If I'm not mistaken, starting from 9.1.2 the max characters in this field is 134.

The screenshot below also shows 134 as max (in PANOS 10.1.3)

Hope it helps,

That's what I was afraid of. Seems strange that it generates a 132 character key when it's on 9.0.x.

Thanks @kiwi !
