Known Issues

• Tenable Security Center may incorrectly flag "PHP File Integrity Errors" and "Correct RPM Package" in the system status page. This is a known issue and has no effect on functionality.

• If you are changing another user's password and your user account does not have a password (for example, your user account is authenticated using SAML or LDAP), you are still required to type something in the Current Password field prior to changing the other user's password.

• If the column select menu is open in table and you use the back/forward browser buttons closing the menu, the menu will persist on other pages until clicked.

• When clicking on a non-sortable column, the working indicator in the lower left appears even though no sorting operation occurs.

• There is no icon to indicate which column is the default sort column in dashboard tables.
