2021-08-23 PSAAS-3289 Can't Delete Value from Org Id/Set Domain for Thycotic password vault
2021-08-13 PSAAS-2953 Phantom upgrade: Fix incompatible pysaml2 issue with Error message: djangosaml2 0.16.11 requires pysaml2==4.4.0, but you'll have pysaml2 5.0.0 which is incompatible.

Workaround:
Uninstall djangosaml2 before running the upgrade:

Run phenv pip3 uninstall djangosaml2

To verify that the djangosaml2 package has been removed, run:

phenv pip3 freeze | grep djangosaml

The djangosaml2 package should not appear.

  • Why is this workaround necessary?*

djangosaml2 was removed as a dependency between 4.9 and 4.10.0. Platform upgrades do not attempt to clear out old pip dependencies that have been removed from the product:

  • Platform upgrades don't have a list of dependencies installed during the previous version
  • Users are free to install their own packages

These factors mean that Splunk Phantom's upgrades are incapable of distinguishing between packages removed from Phantom and packages added by customers. Therefore, the upgrade errs on the side of caution and leaves old dependencies on the system, rather than risk removing dependencies that users may rely upon.

2021-08-04 PSAAS-2796 Case Fields not updating upon label change

Workaround:
They can edit the case, change it's label and click save.

Click edit again, select the advanced dropdown toggle, and it will display the correct info.

2021-08-04 PSAAS-2795 BaseConnector save_progress messages not showing up in Playbook Debugger
2021-07-14 PSAAS-2556 RCA - Upgrade : UWSGI fails to start with RuntimeError: populate() isn't reentrant

Workaround:
Set the permissions on the file /tmp/uwsgi_invalidate_ss_cache_trigger.
  1. chmod 664 /tmp/uwsgi_invalidate_ss_cache_trigger
  2. /opt/phantom/bin/phsvc restart uwsgi
2021-07-14 PSAAS-2588, PSAAS-2691 The platform unable to properly kill off a runner, causing playbooks to get stuck running if playbook killed by timeout

Workaround:
Yes, customer knows they can work on the Anomali app to return fewer lines, or truncate somehow the REGEX, or use another method for the REGEX... but that is not what cx is reporting.

The child PB is stopping gracefully and the parent should be notified and be able to handle that. Maybe the block that call the subplaybook could return a -1 or something... just an idea.

2021-07-08 PSAAS-2509 Playbook: Filtering an IP address against a value with a "/" fails
2021-07-02 PSAAS-2507 After upgrading to Splunk Phantom version 4.10, the ibackup tool silently fails due to incorrect permissions set on its log files

Workaround:
Manually changing ownership of the log files in /var/log/phantom/backup with the command resolves the issue:
  1. Log in to your Splunk Phantom instance as either root or a user with sudo permissions.
  2. Go to the /var/log/phantom/backup directory.
    cd /var/log/phantom/backup
  3. Change the ownership of all the log files to postgres:postgres.
    chown postgres:postgres *.log
