Doc Text Cause: session.clear call clears out user's browser information that's being saved in session when user logs in

Consequence: Switching user groups invalidates browser/version/os information, which might be disabling the console buttons on the VM

Fix: Save & restore certain keys in session hash for later use.

Result: Console buttons working as expected.

Doc Text Cause: session.clear call clears out user's browser information that's being saved in session when user logs in

Consequence: Switching user groups invalidates browser/version/os information, which might be disabling the console buttons on the VM

Fix: Save & restore certain keys in session hash for later use.

Result: Console buttons working as expected.
In the previous version of CloudForms Management Engine, switching user groups invalidated browser/version/OS information, which in turn disabled the console buttons on the VM. This was caused as session.clear call cleared out user's browser information that was being saved in session when user logged in.

This bug has been fixed by saving and restoring certain keys in session hash for later use. Console buttons are now working as expected.
