This Nominated Discussion Article is based on the post "Palo Alto Firewall Commit Error" by @Dhirajjagdale and answered by @BPry.

 

Hi,

 

I'm getting the below Validation error after committing the changes in firewall.  

As I checked there is no user in the local user database.

Please help to identify the issue.

Validation Error:

mgt-config -> users -> operator is invalid. it is a system user name

mgt config -> users is invalid

Commit failed

 

Most systems usually have a list of reserved words that you can't use as they are used by the system internally.

 

In this case, the error isn't complaining about a local user, but rather about an administrator account that you created using  such a reserved word.

 

The name "operator" is not a feasible name to configure as a user, application, object, etc as it is used by the firewall internally. Deleting the user or renaming it will solv your problem.
