CAUSE

SOLUTION

Update the policy version to the latest one on the API Manager to resolve this issue. Refer to the API Manager Policies Release Notes page for all the policies: https://docs.mulesoft.com/release-notes/policies/policies-release-notes

For Example, This error was observed with Client ID Enforcement Policy v1.3.0 and policy application was successful with Client ID Enforcement Policy v1.3.2.

1) Update the policy version as shown in the screenshot below and apply the changes.

2) In case the error continues to occur then delete the Policy once and Re-apply the policy, since policy upgrade/application may fail under some conditions.

3) If none of them helps, please file a Support case ticket with the following information

• The error log file
• Application deployment model (Eg, CloudHub 1.0/2.0, On-premise, RTF, etc)
• Application name
• Policy Name
• Policy version
