Virtual TapeServer 8.3 Release Notes
Known Issues | 31
 Change Group option not available after adding new user and group. After 
adding a new user and group, you must deselect the new user in the Users drop-down list 
and then select it again to get the “Change Group” option to appear. (TL-3278)
 Certain Access Control settings cause each update cycle to prompt for a 
password. If Access Control for operations is set to one of the following, the web interface 
prompts for a password three times every time a page refreshes: 'BASIC access', 'Vault 
Access', 'Access to All Vaults', 'View System Status', 'Change Refresh Rate', 'Stop and 
Start TapeServer'. The dialog can be cancelled (and works correctly), but it will prompt 
again on the next update cycle. (TL-1920)
WORKAROUND: Lengthen the browser’s refresh cycle to minimize the impact of this 
issue.
 Cannot re-log in to the web interface using the Log In button. If you are logged in 
as a non-administrative user, you must close the browser window and log in again as an 
administrator. The Log In button on the interface will not log you in as another user. (TL-
1033)
 User and group changes can be applied but not saved as part of the Custom 
Defaults. On the Access Control page, you can save user and group settings by clicking 
the Save as CUSTOM button but subsequent changes to the custom defaults cannot be 
saved. (TL-377)
 Must click Restore CUSTOM Defaults button twice to display the “Users and 
Groups” and “Rights” sections of the page. When you click the Restore CUSTOM 
Defaults button, the “Users and Groups” and “Rights” sections of the Access Control page 
are not displayed. You must click the button again to display these sections and restore 
the custom defaults. (TL-378)
Certificate Management
 For the VTS product, an SSL certificate that is set to expire within 24 hours will 
be automatically regenerated. Certificates generated by the VTS product under 
normal circumstances use SHA1 authentication, but the regeneration code uses SHA256 
authentication. This could cause some Internet Explorer installation to lose access to the 
VTS product web interface. (TL-8123, EAR-9460, EAR-9472)
WORKAROUND: Generate a new certificate via the web interface before the certificate 
expires; if this is not possible, use another browser to generate a certificate from the web 
interface. 
 Revoking original certificate indicates “Certificate revoked” though it cannot 
be. When attempting to revoke “Original Certificate”, the web interface says “Certificate 
revoked.” However, the certificate is not revoked. The message should indicate that the 
original self-signed certificate cannot be revoked. (TL-5951)
 Select Usages checkbox on Edit Certificate form is confusing. This option 
activates the certificate; it should be renamed. (TL-5677)
 Importing invalid certificate displays error. Attempting to import an invalid 
certificate displays the error “Nested asn1 error”. (TL-4822)
