Novell Filr MySQL 2.0 with Security Update 2 (2.0.0.195)

Situation

When applying a Filr, Search or MySQL patch to the appliance via the Virtual Appliance configuration interface (port 9443), the following error is displayed and the patch is not applied:

HTTP ERROR 403
Problem accessing /vaconfig/fieldpatch. Reason:
Invalid CSRF Token 'null' was found on the request parameter '_csrf' or header 'X-CSRF-TOKEN'.

Resolution

A fix for this issue is available in Filr 2.0 Hot Patch 3, available via the Novell Patch Finder.

To apply this fix, download and apply the HP3 "pre-install" patch to your Filr, MySQL and Search appliances before attempting to apply the HP3 patch from the Virtual Appliance configuration interface (port 9443):

preinstall-Filr-20HP3.zip
preinstall-MySQL-20HP3.zip
preinstall-Search-20HP3.zip

Follow the instructions provided in the Filr 2.0 Hot Patch 3 download page.
