When attempting to add a FortiProxy device to a FortiProxy ADOM on FortiManager, the FortiProxy device fails to be added to the FortiProxy ADOM.

 

Checking the Import Report reveals the following message about the failure:

 

"system external-resource",FAIL,"(name=Deny_Domain-List, oid=2473, reason=invalid value. object: sys_external_resource. detail: Can not copy password attribute password from private key encrypted device)"

    set private-data-encryption disable

end
